MedTrakRx Selects ARJ Infusion Services as ‘Best-in-Class’ Specialty Pharmacy Provider
Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) November 30, 2016 -- MedTrakRx, one of the nation’s fastest-growing pharmacy benefit managers, selected ARJ Infusion Services, a nationally recognized specialty pharmacy, to provide home infusion therapies to patients with complex, rare, and chronic conditions.
ARJ will be responsible for providing pharmacy and infusion nursing services to MedTrakRx members with hemophilia, immune deficiencies, inflammatory disorders, and neurological conditions. Rare disease management requires proactive patient monitoring and hands-on care coordination with patients’ treating physicians to reduce unforeseen and costly episodes of care. The annual cost of treatment for these valuable therapies ranges from $35,000 to more than $400,000.
“The focus for our SpecialtyRx Best-in-Class program is to find pharmacies that provide the best care and deliver the best possible health outcomes with the lowest cost to our patients,” said Tom Golding, Vice President of Trade Relations at MedTrakRx Services. “We recognized ARJ as a high-touch, patient-centric specialty pharmacy that meets our high standard of care, which is validated by ARJ’s outstanding patient satisfaction scores.”
The new partnership creates additional opportunities to add value to MedTrakRx clients:
• Stronger network for offering personalized, high-quality care options
• Choice of in-home infusion treatment and on-site private infusion suites
• Solutions for employers managing rising healthcare expenditures
• Clinical education and outcomes programs
“We’re thrilled to be part of MedTrakRx’s Best-In-Class Specialty Pharmacy Network,” said Tom Shaughnessy, Director of Managed Care at ARJ Infusion Services. “ARJ believes excellent care drives superior outcomes, which allows both MedTrak and ARJ to better compete in a dynamic healthcare environment.”
ARJ Infusion Services is a leader in specialty home infusion pharmacy and nursing services. We provide therapies for children and adults with rare and chronic conditions.
