Healthcare professionals

Accredo has the specialty pharmacy experience you need for your long-term care patients. We help your patients determine their insurance coverage, give them information about treatment options, and provide in-home nursing staff to administer infusions. Our services allow your office to concentrate on helping your patients achieve a better quality of life.

We offer comprehensive clinical and reimbursement services for healthcare professionals.

• Prior authorization determination.
• Delivery to the place of administration. We’ll ship many medications right to the patient’s home, doctor’s office, or clinical setting where the drug will be professionally administered. Shipping is at no additional cost to the patient. Accredo dispenses from three centralized locations and more than thirty branch locations.
• Clinical counseling and support. Our pharmacists and registered nurses educate new patients on how to use, store, and administer their medication, as well as help set reasonable expectations for their therapy.
• Patient-specific billing program. Patients can authorize us to ship their medication to their home, doctor’s office, or clinic but to send the bill directly to the insurance provider.
• Adherence checks. Through counseling, personal support, and regular contact, we encourage our patients to adhere to their treatment regimen.
• Triage services. Occasionally, Accredo is not a participating provider in a given payor network and is, therefore, unable to serve a patient. In such instances, we have a commitment to route the prescription to a participating pharmacy and quickly inform the doctor or clearinghouse where it was sent.
• Home injection training. If a medication needs to be injected and you order the training, we’ll teach the patient how to administer the therapy to help him or her over this hurdle.
• In-home infusion. If you decide a patient would benefit from home infusions, we’ll coordinate the details. Accredo has its own nursing staff, plus working relationships with home health agencies. We’ll research the patient’s benefits, provide the medication, and arrange for a nurse to make a home visit in accordance with the doctor’s plan of treatment.
• Testing reminder. When a therapy requires prior testing, we’ll call the patient to explain the test procedure and why it’s necessary.
• Local nursing support. With more than 30 branch pharmacies and a wide network of nurses, we can provide clinical support and intervention throughout the country.
