Specialty Pharmacy Services
Oncology and Hematology Specialty Pharmacy
Accord Specialty Pharmacy provides oral oncology and hematology medication dispensing with close attention to adherence, financial barriers, and REMS compliance. We coordinate with oncology and hematology practices to support patients throughout their treatment.
Conditions We Serve
Oncology and Hematology Conditions
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
A blood and bone marrow cancer in which the body produces too many abnormal white blood cells. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib have dramatically changed the long-term outlook for CML patients and are dispensed through specialty pharmacies.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST)
A type of tumor that begins in the gastrointestinal tract, most often driven by KIT or PDGFRA mutations. Imatinib (Gleevec) was the first TKI approved for GIST and remains a primary treatment option dispensed through specialty channels.
Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)
A disorder in which the immune system destroys platelets, leading to low platelet counts and increased bleeding risk. Thrombopoietin receptor agonists such as eltrombopag (Promacta) and romiplostim (Nplate) are specialty medications used when first-line treatments are insufficient.
Prostate Cancer
Castration-resistant prostate cancer is treated with oral androgen pathway inhibitors including abiraterone (Zytiga) and enzalutamide (Xtandi). These oral oncology agents are dispensed through specialty pharmacies and require careful monitoring and adherence support.
Hepatocellular and Renal Cell Carcinoma
Sorafenib (Nexavar) is a multi-kinase inhibitor approved for hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. Like most oral TKIs, it is dispensed exclusively through specialty pharmacies and may require assistance navigating manufacturer support programs.
Specialty Support for Oncology and Hematology Patients
Oral Oncology Management
Oral cancer medications require diligent adherence monitoring. Accord provides refill coordination, adherence check-ins, and side effect counseling to help patients stay on therapy throughout their treatment course.
Prior Authorization Support
Our team assists with prior authorization for all dispensed oncology medications, including appeals when coverage is denied. We work urgently on oncology PAs given the time-sensitive nature of cancer treatment.
Financial Assistance Navigation
Many oral oncology medications have manufacturer copay programs that significantly reduce patient cost burden. We also identify foundation resources for patients who do not qualify for commercial copay programs.
Doorstep Delivery
Accord ships oral oncology medications to patients in states where Accord holds an active pharmacy license with discreet packaging and timely delivery coordinated around the patient's treatment schedule.
