Specialty Pharmacy

Specialty medications are typically bio-engineered and have specific shipping and handling requirements or are required to be dispensed by a specific facility. PEHP has partnered with Accredo to assist in dispensing most specialty drugs.

Obtaining specialty drugs from Accredo or a contracted speciality vendor will ensure our members receive their maximum benefit. Also, PEHP may require some specialty medications to be obtained from Accredo.

Accredo will coordinate with your office to provide delivery either to the member's home or to your office.

Specialty medications may require preauthorization. Check the Preferred Drug List or call PEHP at 801-366-7358 to see if the medication does.
