Premier Pharmacy Services and its Consultant, Stephen Samuel, are excited to inform the world of a new fruitful collaboration with a drug manufacturer. This will provide patients suffering from a rare autoimmune disease with the pricy, life-changing treatment that they need. Given the critical importance of swift payer approval when dealing with orphan drugs, specialty pharmacies must be prepared to tackle any obstacle and utilize an approach that delivers prompt results. Premier Pharmacy Services has consistently proven its ability to meet its partners’ expectations, and the success of this collaboration is yet another example of the company’s unwavering commitment to serving patients.

“We were honored to be chosen by this mid-sized pharmaceutical company to become part of its specialty pharmacy network and help ensure that people in need of its product have the best chance of accessing it,” Stephen Samuel said. “We had partnered with the company before and achieved measurable success in helping patients access other products from its portfolio. This time, our goal was to accelerate payer approval for a medicine that treats a rare autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. Patients who receive no treatment are at risk of suffering permanent disability.”

“Premier is the only specialty pharmacy we can trust to exhaust every option when it comes to patient access. They just don't see obstacles the same way others do,” a representative of the pharmaceutical company noted. 

According to Stephen Samuel, Premier Pharmacy Services owes its success to a tried and highly effective approach. The company’s account management team established a close working relationship with the drug manufacturer, as a result of which it could quickly align on medical necessity, required laboratory work, and tried/failed history. At the same time, its clinical pharmacists worked with patients to obtain the psychosocial background information required for payer communication. Once all background information was collected, Premier Pharmacy Services utilized a nine-step proactive approach to securing prior authorization for patients, including the development of a custom letter of medical necessity (LMN) based on patient-specific factors.

“Once again, our approach delivered results,” Stephen Samuel added. “Premier Pharmacy Services was able to secure payer approval for the medicine and fill prescriptions in a matter of days. Moreover, our company is acting as a case manager for the therapeutic regimen together with the prescribing HCP in order to ensure the continuity of care and the proper management of the disease. We also stand ready to manage any challenging case the drug manufacturer identifies.”

Since its inception , Premier Pharmacy Services has made it its mission to ensure that patients with rare diseases can lead productive lives. The company operates under the motto “We do everything for every patient every day,” adhering to its core values of integrity, accountability, excellence, passion, and diversity. Based in Baldwin Park, California, the long-term care and specialty pharmacy serves patients nationwide through its additional locations in Arizona, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Premier Pharmacy Services seeks to ensure the best clinical outcomes by focusing on the development of customized programs and utilizing a unique approach to orphan, rare disease, oral oncology, specialty infusion, and limited distribution products.
