RITUXAN Distribution
Authorized Distributors and Specialty Pharmacies
Genentech and Biogen have contracted with a network of authorized specialty distributors to service practices choosing to purchase RITUXAN through the buy and bill model. Customers can purchase RITUXAN through authorized specialty distributors and wholesalers that have made a commitment to product integrity. These partners have agreed to distribute only products purchased directly from Genentech and Biogen and not to distribute RITUXAN through secondary channels.
RITUXAN Access Solutions works with SPs to help patients receive
their medicines. SPs can dispense RITUXAN to your office. The SPs can
also provide coverage and reimbursement support.

Specialty Pharmacies
Genentech and Biogen do not influence or advocate the use of any one specialty distributor or specialty pharmacy. We make no representation or guarantee of service or coverage of any item.
About Buy and Bill
With buy and bill, the practice purchases the medication in advance,
then bills the patient’s health insurance plan for reimbursement. The
practice is responsible for storing and handling the drug as well as
collecting the patient’s co-pay for both the drug and its
administration. With buy and bill, practices can maintain a stock of
the drug, giving them the flexibility to treat patients when
clinically appropriate.
About Specialty Pharmacies
RITUXAN Access Solutions works with specialty pharmacies (SPs) to help patients receive their medicines.
An SP may provide the following services:
- Reimbursement resources
- Clinical services to support patients throughout their treatment
- The ability to manage the specialty handling and shipping needs linked with many specialty therapies
You can work with your preferred SP or contact RITUXAN Access Solutions to learn which SP the patient’s health insurance plan requires.
