Bring medical and pharmacy benefits
together with Optum Specialty Fusion.
The one stop cross benefit solution for total specialty medication management.
It's a smart new tool that integrates medical and pharmacy benefits
into a single platform to streamline your process,
provide full visibility to specialty trends,
and connect patients with the right treatment
at the optimal cost, faster than ever.
80% of new medications are considered specialty drugs,
and the cost of these drugs is on the rise.
With more and more specialty treatments being covered under both
the medical benefit and the pharmacy benefit, it can be difficult for plan sponsors
to see the full picture of their specialty spend and make the right coverage decisions.
The division between medical and pharmacy benefits
also has a significant impact on care providers and patients.
Providers are challenged to keep up with the highest quality treatment options,
but they must access multiple portals to understand drug costs
across populations and to complete prior authorizations
contributing to increasing rates of burnout.
Meanwhile, patients may experience disjointed care across providers,
delays in treatment and higher than necessary costs.
That's where Optum Specialty Fusion comes in.
Optum specialty fusion is a simplified, patient centric approach
to specialty medication management.
