Specialized field solutions
Support patient access in your pharmacy network channel
Pharmacies may not know about important resources you offer to help them with the challenges of dispensing your therapy (e.g., copay card and other biopharma company-sponsored patient support programs, updates on payer coverage and policy changes, etc.). This can limit your therapy’s success. Cencora Pharmacy Account Managers (PAMs) can help. PAMs are your trusted pharmacy network liaisons with a mission to help you improve fulfillment while minimizing delays in treatment delivery. These specialists build relationships with your pharmacy network partners and educate stakeholders on the best steps to address patient access barriers.
Better engage complex sites of care
Complex sites of care like Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and Centers of Excellence (COEs) are key to your product’s success. But obstacles at these sites — from operational complexity to patient access challenges — can limit your therapy’s potential. That’s why employing experts that have experience in these care settings is so important. Cencora’s Business Operations Specialists (BOS) are a field solution that can engage with the variety of decision makers and departments within these organizations. They help with patient access and reimbursement issues and deliver consultative insights for your product’s sustainable success.
