Pharmacy Services
Foundation Care is licensed in all 50 states as a pharmacy and DME supplier, allowing nationwide patient access to your product – expanding the market for potential customers.
First Fill Program
Foundation Care’s First Fill Program ensures your new product is available to physicians and their patients as soon as it is approved. We guarantee the patient receives your product on the first prescription fill, eliminating the possibility of product substitutions while we work through insurance coverage issues. We will also guarantee your product is stocked and shipped in a timely manner.
The First Fill Program will:
- Provide product via an extended access program once the drug trials are complete and before the product is commercially available
- Ensure patients involved in clinical trials are granted immediate access to commercial products
- Dispense your product as prescribed
- Fill prescription and/or DME orders immediately while establishing reimbursement coverage
- Identify and report any reimbursement issues to the manufacturer
- Assist patients with identifying and enrolling in copay and patient assistance programs (CAP / PAP)
- Provide REMS support
Manufacturer Patient Direct Program
The access and reimbursement pressures on the traditional drug distribution channel have created challenges for manufacturers launching new products. As a standard of practice, a manufacturer utilizes several businesses and resources, with multiple touch points and layers that increase cost, to bring their product to the market.
Foundation Care offers a new approach. Our direct to patient program allows for manufacturers to distribute products directly to consumers, bypassing traditional fee-for-service distribution channels. Foundation Care acts as your agent, rather than a trading partner.
This direct to patient program virtually eliminates the costs and resources associated with multiple touch points for getting a specialty product into the hands of the patient. Your product’s inventory will be proactively managed. This means Foundation Care will guarantee your product will be in stock, preventing unnecessary substitutions.
