East Alabama Apothecary Specialty Pharmacy

The East Alabama Apothecary Specialty Pharmacy team understands that your medical needs may be complex and require special knowledge when collaborating with your medical provider and insurance company. The Specialty Pharmacy is dedicated to providing you with the personal service necessary to ensure that you achieve the most benefit from your therapy.

A specialty pharmacy fills prescriptions for complex, high-cost drugs for various medical conditions. Unlike retail pharmacies, our specialty pharmacy provides a suite of services to support you based on your unique medical needs. For example, the Specialty Pharmacy can provide education about your specific medical conditions and how to manage your symptoms and avoid complications through medication. They also collaborate with your doctor and your health insurance company to ensure that you have access to the right drug for you and that it is covered by your health plan. They can even find out if financial assistance is available that can reduce your costs for these therapies.

Medication Delivery

The Specialty Pharmacy can deliver medication to your home, doctor’s office, or to an alternative location of your choice at no cost to you. We will also include other supplies, such as a sharps container, as requested. They coordinate all refills to make sure that you, or an adult family member, are available to receive the shipment. If your medication requires refrigeration, the Specialty Pharmacy will ship it to you in special packaging that will maintain the appropriate temperature throughout the shipping process. Once you receive the package, take the medication out of the box and place it in the refrigerator as soon as possible.
