what to expect*

prescribe

Your provider identifies a Biologic Prescription suitable for your specific condition after thorough examination and diagnosis and outlines a treatment plan. 

process

We navigate insurance approvals and manage the necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth transition to your new treatment. Lab work is ordered and required prior to initiation. It is important to note that prior authorizations and insurance approvals are often required and can take several weeks to process. If needed, patients may be enrolled in assistance programs to help with costs or coverage gaps. These programs require their own paperwork and coordination which can also take time to process. 

receive

Once approved, your Biologic Prescriptions will be delivered to you by whichever specialty pharmacy your insurance requires. Some Biologic Prescriptions can be injected or taken at home; others are injected in office during one of your regularly scheduled appointments. 

follow up

Regular follow-ups are scheduled to monitor your response to the medication, assess progress, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
