Breaking Down Barriers: How Legacy Community Health Supports Patients with Specialty Medications

For tens of thousands of people in the Houston area, accessing life-saving specialty medications to treat their complex, chronic conditions may feel impossible. High drug costs force many to choose between their health and financial stability. However, Legacy Community Health believes no one should have to make that choice.

Through their Specialty Pharmacy Services, they connect patients with financial assistance and expert support they need to afford and manage their complex medications.

Legacy Specialty Pharmacy: Comprehensive Support for Complex Conditions

Legacy Community Health’s Specialty Pharmacy is designed to serve individuals managing chronic, rare, and complex conditions. These include:

• Autoimmune disorders (e., rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis)
• Neurological conditions (i.e., multiple sclerosis)

Patients requiring high-cost specialty medications face unique challenges, from strict monitoring requirements to navigating insurance complexities. Legacy Specialty Pharmacy’s dedicated team simplifies this process, ensuring that every patient receives the medications they need while minimizing financial burden.

Legacy Pharmacy Helps Patients Reduce Their Medication Expenses

“Specialty Medications often come with high costs, sometimes ranging from several hundred to thousands of dollars,” explains Neha Agrawal, PharmD, Director of Clinical Pharmacy Services.
