While traditional monthly drug costs average $60, specialty
drugs average nearly $1,500 per month.
Specialty pharmaceuticals are high-cost, mostly injectable medications used in complex
drug therapies that comprise about 15 percent of a company health plan’s total drug
spend. These drugs often require sophisticated
handling, storage and delivery, and are not well-suited for dispensing from traditional
retail or mail service pharmacies.
Ascend SpecialtyRx
was created specifically to manage this cost while caring for patients who require
specialty pharmaceuticals. Not only
do we specialize in the complex administration and home delivery of these drugs,
we also go the extra mile to provide a comprehensive approach to managing
therapy through our specialty medication management programs that
optimize use, improve clinical outcomes and effectively manage cost
