I appreciate the pharmacists. They make sure I always have my medication, and I can ask questions or talk about a concern with them. They are professional, knowledgeable and pleasant.

Specialty pharmacy services in TN and VA

At Ballad Health’s specialty pharmacies, we go beyond just providing medications. We believe in empowering our patients with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage their conditions.

Through patient education, we equip you with the information you need to understand your medications, their potential side effects and any necessary precautions.

Specialty pharmacies provide a higher level of patient support and monitoring than traditional outpatient pharmacies. We recognize that complex, rare and chronic diseases require specialized care. Our team is here to ensure that you receive the utmost attention and support throughout your treatment journey.

Our goal is to ensure that you are confident and well-informed throughout your treatment journey.

Your specialty pharmacist will work with you and your entire support network – including doctors, nurses and your family – to ensure you have a fully integrated healthcare team and access to quality care. Our team will talk to you about your treatment plan and address any questions you have. We’re here to listen and help you understand every part of your care.

We will stay in touch with you and your care team throughout the course of your treatment to make sure your medications are working as they should.

What are the benefits of using a specialty pharmacy?

Our team supports patients by enhancing medication instructions, monitoring side effects and helping with overall health improvement.

  • Coordination with insurance and financial assistance programs
  • Direct access to trained pharmacists and specialty care teams
  • Free medication delivery directly to patients or physicians’ offices
  • Integrated care and communication with physicians and care teams
  • Refill reminder calls

There may be times when your insurance does not cover a prescribed medication. If that happens, we will work to lower your out-of-pocket costs by either working to get the medication covered, switching to a covered alternative or applying valid manufacturer discounts.
