Affordability and Exceptional Care
Managing cost while also improving a patient’s health and quality of life are guideposts for our enterprise pharmacy solutions. Lumicera, our specialty pharmacy established 10 years ago, deploys an actual acquisition cost-plus model rarely seen within the market. We believe Lumicera remains the only true cost-plus specialty pharmacy in the United States.
Cost-plus for Lumicera is defined as acquisition cost plus a set fee for patient management. Other pharmacies apply a percentage-based fee on the drug cost. This can disincentivize the use of lower-cost, clinically appropriate medication because pharmacy revenues increase with higher drug costs. This also leads to higher costs for clients and patients. Lumicera charges a flat fee based on the complexity of care and special handling of the medication.
Lumicera's cost-plus model, in combination with the pass-through approach of Navitus, reduces the amount that clients and patients pay to access important medications.
