Why Do I Need a Specialty Pharmacy?

Certain drugs are called “specialty” on your insurance plan’s list – known as a formulary. Those need to be filled at a specialty pharmacy. OSF Specialty Pharmacy is ready to assist you with that.

Our main goal is to help you learn how to take or use your medication. We also work with your doctor to support and coordinate your care.

Our team can help you with insurance plan questions, and find copay assistance and grant programs that can help make your specialty drug more affordable.
