MADISON, Wis., February 4, 2014 – Navitus Health Solutions, LLC, a national full pass-through pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), announced today the opening of its new specialty pharmacy, Lumicera Health Services, LLC (Lumicera). Located in Madison, Wisconsin, Lumicera builds upon Navitus’ commitment to comprehensively address the total cost of care for its clients by providing a fully integrated specialty pharmacy offering.
As a wholly-owned Navitus subsidiary, Lumicera functions as a stand-alone specialty pharmacy adhering to Navitus’ core principles of transparency and stewardship. In alignment with the Navitus model, clients have access to enhanced trend management opportunities through optimized discounts, cost transparency, and integrated clinical management.
“With the double-digit specialty pharmacy increases we have seen year over year and the continuing upward pressure on specialty drug costs, having our own specialty pharmacy allows us to extend our transparency model to this channel for tighter overall cost control,” said Terry Seligman, President & CEO of Navitus. “Lumicera provides patients the same high-touch, high-quality level of care they currently experience with Navitus but in a fully integrated clinical environment. In addition, our transparent model and full audit rights provide our clients more complete visibility of pricing in the specialty pharmacy channel. These attributes further distinguish Navitus in the marketplace.”
The Lumicera offering continues to empower Navitus clients in managing their specialty trend by controlling costs.
Consistent with the Lumicera tag line—Care. Illuminated.—we illuminate patient care to ensure every patient receives the personalized and compassionate care they need to manage their complex conditions and prescribed medications.
