Six Things to Know About AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy
Get to know one of the largest specialty and home delivery pharmacies in the US
Not all specialty pharmacies are created equally. Founded in 2017, AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy has quickly become one of the country’s leading specialty and home delivery pharmacies in a short time. Here are six things to know about AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy.
1. We are a combined home delivery and specialty pharmacy.
Whether our patients take medicine for a common condition such as high blood pressure, or to treat a rare cancer, AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy provides medications for both. That’s because we are a home delivery and specialty pharmacy – one of the largest in the country, in fact.
A home delivery pharmacy is a pharmacy that – based on their health benefit – allows patients to receive a 90-day supply of their maintenance medications delivered to their home. Maintenance medications are typically prescribed for the ongoing treatment of chronic (long-term) conditions such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, birth control, etc.
Specialty pharmacies provide specialized care and medications for treatment of chronic, complex conditions or rare diseases. Such medications typically have special storage, temperature and handling requirements and require the patient to have close monitoring and ongoing support.
2. We are accredited by nationally recognized organizations.
Accreditation is a process through which healthcare organizations demonstrate compliance with national standards. AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy holds several accreditations, and certifications, including URAC and Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). By achieving various accreditations, AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy has demonstrated a comprehensive commitment to quality care, improved processes and better patient outcomes.
“AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy aims to service all our patients with the utmost quality and care,” says Joel Wright, chief executive officer. “Receiving accreditation validates our steadfast commitment to helping patients achieve and maintain their best health by delivering to them the medicines they need. We pledge to uphold these high standards of quality for our organization and for our patients.”
3. AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy is the product of a retail pharmacy and a pharmacy benefit manager.
At AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy, our purpose is to provide our patients with hope and care for better tomorrows. In 2017, we were built from the brands and operational strengths of two leading companies – retail pharmacy giant, Walgreens, and leading pharmacy benefit manager, Prime Therapeutics. As such, we have more than 130 years combined experience in the pharmacy industry. Our innovative, pioneering approach to provide expert care is among the most unique in healthcare—all with the goal of delivering an exceptional patient experience.
4. We have access to hard-to-find medicine.
In addition to delivering market-leading customer service, AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy has access to one of the largest limited distribution drug portfolios in the industry. This means patients with complex conditions, such as cancer and multiple sclerosis, get increased access to specialty drugs.
“Manufacturers regularly choose AllianceRx Walgreens Pharmacy as a limited distribution drug partner because they value our ability to support patients throughout their treatment journey,” says Tracey James, RPh, senior vice president of pharmacy services. “They know we are committed to delivering the high-touch care these patients need, while striving to contain costs and drive health outcomes.”
