Magellan Pharmacy Solutions has launched Total Drug Solutions, an integrated approach to manage oral, injectable and infusible drugs to improve the quality and safety of care while lowering costs for consumers and health plans.
Magellan Pharmacy Solutions president Tina Blasi said patients have received standard medications and specialty drugs in a disconnected and uncoordinated fashion.
''This lack of integration presents safety risks, decreases therapeutic effectiveness and unnecessarily increases costs," Blasi added.
"Total Drug Solutions combines our strengths in both specialty and medical drug management with our experience in traditional pharmacy benefit solutions to provide a patient-centric, 360-degree approach to drug management.
"We combine this 'total drug' approach with a deep understanding of the most dynamic, and most difficult to manage, components of drug benefit management, such as utilization management in the physician practice and site-of-service management."
The new product is expected to provide improved outcomes and solutions to manage all drugs across medical and pharmacy benefits.
