New specialty pharmacy in 2024

Elevance Health, the parent company of the pharmacy benefit management partner, CarelonRx, acquired BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy earlier this year. Member services will be integrated in phases in 2024.

BioPlus’ high-touch level of support will help CarelonRx provide a fast consumer experience focused on whole health.

With the addition of BioPlus, pharmacy services will be:

• Comprehensive: Complete range of specialty pharmacy services to manage complex and chronic conditions across a variety of disease states.
• Customizable: Expanded use of digital technologies to personalize support and optimize the consumer experience.
• Fast, easy, and reliable: Expedited time to therapy to provide the best consumer and provider experience. This includes BioPlus’ current 2-hour benefit investigation for all prescriptions and 2-day ready-to-ship for all oncology drugs.

Next steps

Operational implementation will happen in the last half of 2023. A phased migration to BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy services is planned for 2024.

We will update you ahead of any specific changes or enhancements.

CarelonRx, Inc. is an independent company providing pharmacy benefit management services on behalf of your health plan.
