Specialty Pharmacy

At UVA Health Specialty Pharmacy, our goal is to help make specialty medications accessible and affordable so you can focus on your health while we support you through your individual care journey. We help patients start and stay on therapy with coordinated clinical support, medication access services, and convenient delivery connected to your UVA care team.

What is a specialty medication?

Specialty medications are advanced therapies used to treat complex, chronic, and rare conditions. They often require special handling, close monitoring, and extra insurance steps before you can begin treatment. Many specialty medications are also high-cost and may require additional support to ensure coverage and affordability.

Why use a specialty pharmacy?

Starting a specialty medication often involves multiple steps happening at once:

• Benefits checks
• Prior authorizations
• Financial assistance
• Refill coordination
• Adherence support
• Side effect management

A specialty pharmacy brings these pieces together so your treatment can begin sooner, stay consistent, and remain supported over time.
