Specialty Medications

Specialty medications are typically bio-engineered drugs that have specific shipping and handling requirements or are required by the manufacturer to be dispensed by a specific facility. PEHP has partnered with Accredo Health Group, a division of Medco Health, to assist us in dispensing specialty drugs for our members. Receiving your specialty drug from Accredo will allow you to receive your specialty medication at a lower cost (Benefit design may differ from plan to plan. Please refer to your benefit summary for you actual specialty benefit.) Also, PEHP may require that select specialty medications be obtained from Accredo in order to be covered.

Accredo will coordinate with a member or physician to provide delivery to either a member's home or physician's office. Free medical supplies such as syringes and sharp containers are also available for those medications that require them.

Specialty medications can require pre-authorization. Please check the pre-authorization link on this site or call PEHP Customer Service at (801) 366-7555 to see if your medication requires prior authorization.

It is easy to get started using Accredo. You can choose one of the following options to help ensure an uninterrupted, covered supply of the specialty medications that you may need:
