Premier Pharmacy Services and its CEO Stephen Samuel continue to emphasize the significance that choosing the right manufacturers can have on access to therapies and quality products, especially for patients living with rare diseases. When it comes to serving people with such conditions, Premier Pharmacy Services has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to meet demand while also advocating on behalf of patients in the pursuit of payer approvals for even the rarest orphan drugs on the market.

The challenges posed by prior authorization delays can exacerbate matters for both healthcare practitioners and their patients since failure to access rare disease medications can have devastating consequences. Working directly with pharmaceutical companies, Premier Pharmacy Services is dedicated to doing everything in its power for patients who may endure permanent disability or impaired quality of life without their medication. Its team also works directly with patients to assemble the background information needed to process payer approval requests, acting as a patient advocate in the process.

According to Stephen Samuel, Premier Pharmacy Services collaborates closely with drug manufacturers looking to secure prior authorization approvals for their products. “Premier is the only specialty pharmacy we can trust to exhaust every option when it comes to patient access,” says a representative of a mid-sized pharmaceutical company that recently worked with the team. “They just don’t see obstacles the same way others do.”

By building trust with manufacturers over time, Premier Pharmacy Services has become a key partner in the orphan drugs supply chain, and pharmaceutical companies seek its help with challenging cases, knowing that it will do everything it can to advocate for patients in need. Through a dedicated account management team aligned with each manufacturer, it establishes close relationships that help determine medical necessity, requirements, and history, all of which can impact the prior authorization process. Its nine-step approach ensures the collection of every document needed for payer communication, including customized letters of medical necessity (LMN).

Premier Pharmacy Services acts as a case manager alongside healthcare providers to ensure access to rare disease medications, thus guaranteeing continuity of care and improved patient outcomes. “We pride ourselves on doing everything we can for every single patient who needs access to life-changing treatment modalities,” says Stephen Samuel. “We strive to exceed client expectations in each case we are handed while working to address payer requests with expediency and resolve.”

Premier Pharmacy Services is dedicated to empowering patients to live more fulfilling lives by providing them with access to the medications they need to treat complex diseases. Aside from delivering long-term care and specialty pharmacy services, the company also boasts a team of treatment advocates and financial assistance options through customized programs.
