About Us
At Ascension Rx - Specialty Pharmacy, we work closely with your Ascension care team to provide specialty medication therapies that are right for you. Our pharmacist takes the time to listen to your questions and explain how to safely take your medication, especially in combination with other drugs you may be taking.
The Ascension Rx - Specialty Pharmacy is a team of pharmacists, licensed pharmacy technicians, and financial counselors dedicated to superior customer service for patients with complex chronic diseases who need specialty medication. We focus on newer, high-cost, high-technology, high-touch pharmaceutical and biologic drugs that require special handling, careful administration, multi-faceted reimbursement and patient outreach.
Our medications range from oral to cutting-edge injectable and biologic products.
The disease states we most often manage are cancer, HIV, hepatitis C, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s, organ transplant, rheumatoid and auto-immune disorders, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. We can assist with other diseases too, such as blood disorders and unusual genetic conditions.
As a ministry of Ascension*, the Ascension Rx - Specialty Pharmacy upholds the highest ethical standards, moral principles and compassionate values of Catholic-sponsored healthcare.
For prescribers
We keep the prescriber informed of the status of the prescription throughout the process. We assist with prior authorizations and documentation. E-prescribing is welcome. Our pharmacy professionals coordinate with your prescriber’s office to ensure the right therapy, report adverse effects or other issues, and let them know when medication is delivered.
For patients
Each patient and/or caregiver receives a live telephone call from one of our pharmacy professionals. Our goal is to assure understanding of therapy and support the patient in managing issues related to their medication such as side effects, dosing schedules, and logistics. We help patients live with their conditions.
Specialty medications are usually quite expensive. With the growing complexities of third-party billing and coding, our experts help patients and prescribers navigate the health care maze to obtain reimbursement for specialty medications. We also offer reimbursement assistance for a variety of insurance programs such as, but not limited, to commercial plans, Medicare Part B, Medicaid, split-billing patient assistance programs and more.
We offer 340B for qualified patients.
