Many complex and rare health conditions require specialty drugs

Plan sponsors have the option to customize their specialty pharmacy network in order to meet the needs of their most vulnerable patient populations. Express Scripts offers options including multiple specialty pharmacies that provide greater specialized care for these types of treatments than retail pharmacies, which are focused on a general population.
