Specialty medications are used to treat complex conditions like multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C and rheumatoid arthritis. Although some are oral medications, the majority of specialty drugs are injected and may require special handling (e.g. refrigeration). As part of your pharmacy benefits plan, you have access to Cigna Specialty Pharmacy Services to deliver these medications.
