Your pharmacy benefit may include coverage for certain products that are referred to as specialty medications. These specialty medications are prescribed to treat certain conditions, such as anemia, cancer, cystic fibrosis, growth hormone deficiency, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, and respiratory syncytial virus. Most specialty medications are injectables or require special shipping and handling, such as refrigeration. As a result, distribution of specialty medications and additional related services are arranged by specialty provider.
