💊 Specialty Drug Costs Are Reshaping Rheumatology — Here’s How Practices Can Stay Ahead
Rheumatology practices face some of the most significant financial pressures in healthcare today. Specialty drugs now make up 50% of all prescription spending, and Medicare spending on these medications has surged over 566.5% in the last decade.
To remain sustainable, independent practices need stronger strategies for managing drug costs, inventory, and reimbursement complexity.
Inside our latest blog, we explore how rheumatology-focused purchasing programs help practices:
✔️ Lower acquisition costs on high-cost biologics
✔️ Improve cash flow through smarter inventory management
