Patient Services

The last thing a patient should have to worry about is access to treatment.

Navigating the complexities of healthcare systems is difficult for patients, especially when they have been prescribed a specialty medication. Our solutions can alleviate anxiety, help identify potential barriers to access, and increase speed to therapy for your patients.

Where innovation and heart drive patient access

Every day we put patients at the center of everything we do. No matter where we sit within the company, we're all working to fulfill the same purpose – to improve the treatment journey for each patient, helping them gain access to, afford and stay on vital therapies that enhance their quality of life. Ultimately, we are united in our responsibility to create healthier futures.

Featured capabilities

Driving speed to therapy

We pair advanced technologies with expert human support to drive faster access to therapy and enhance the patient experience. By leveraging industry-leading innovations, such as an AI-powered digital assistant that makes payer calls, we increase automation, accuracy, and efficiency every step of the way.

Reducing financial burdens

Cost should never be a barrier to care. That's why we work closely with manufacturers to develop unique copay assistance programs that accelerate patients access to therapy. Our copay services comply with industry rules and standards, yet are flexible to meet the needs of broad patient populations. We offer a variety of payment options along with the dedicated support of compassionate patient counselors to put affordability first.

Empowering patient engagement

To improve medication adherence, we engage patients where they are in their healthcare journey and in life. Through personalized interventions and treatments that drive behavioral change, we help improve not just outcomes, but a patient's care experience.
