UPMC Health Plan utilizes CuraScript, a division
of Express Scripts, Inc., for our specialty pharmacy
administration. Specialty medications generally are used for complex and chronic diseases. These medications may require close management due to potential side effects and frequent dose adjustments.

CuraScript has the ability to dispense medications
to your physician’s office as well as your home,
depending on where your medication will be
administered. Due to the unique characteristics
of specialty medications, they are limited to a
30-day supply.

• Close management by a physician
• Frequent dosing adjustments
• Intensive clinical monitoring
• In-depth patient training
• Special handling or administration

For these reasons, specialty medications are
filled only through CuraScript’s telephone
ordering service.

Personalized Care

Traditional retail and mail-order pharmacies are not able to offer you the higher level of care that our specialty medication support services can provide, including therapy-specific programs, patient financial assistance, and compliance monitoring. UPMC Health Plan’s specialty medication program provides you with personalized, highly technical care to help you get the most from your treatments.

If you are a Health Plan member and would like to find out if your plan offers specialty pharmacy service, including any copayments that may apply, log in to MyHealth OnLine to review your pharmacy plan documents.
