Our pharmacists and care coordinators also help with insurance questions, refills, and financial assistance options, as well as questions about your medications themselves.
Patients in the program have access to a dedicated phone line to reach the specialty medication team directly. You may receive a call from our specialty medication team at 503-862-8596 regarding your prescription or next steps.
