Specialty drugs are drugs that are used in treating serious illnesses and conditions such as cancer, hemophilia, growth hormone deficiency, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and are sometimes administered by injection or infusion. These drugs can be very expensive. If your doctor prescribes a specialty drug for you, please contact Express Scripts at (866) 848-9870. Express Scripts can tell you whether the drug is a specialty drug subject to this limitation and, if it is, how to obtain the drug from CuraScript. See Section 4.3.4 P beginning on page 78 for information concerning coverage of specialty drugs dispensed or administered by a Physician or Hospital.
