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

Genentech BioOncology® Access Solutions for RITUXAN HYCELA works with specialty pharmacies (SPs) to help patients receive their medicines.

An SP may provide the following services:

• The ability to manage the specialty handling and shipping needs linked with many specialty therapies
  

You can work with your preferred SP or contact Genentech BioOncology Access Solutions to learn which SP the patient’s health insurance plan requires.
