Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 No Addy, I don't work for Caremark. Specialty Pharmacies are supposed to be helpful and assist in obtaining the Xolair for you. Acredo/Novafactor, CuraScript, OptionCare & Caremark are the 4 specialty pharmacies that distribute Xolair for Genentech. HIPPA is a law requiring people to have a medical purpose to know your information. Specialty Pharmacies, Physicians and patients all need to know what is going on. The sales Rep has no " need " to know personal information. That is why permission had to be given to him to help. The physicians office should never balk at giving the specialty pharmacy the information needed to dispense or bill your Xolair. If they do, you need to tell them it is OK, & that HIPPA was designed to help the transfer of information to parties that need it, and keep your personal information private from those wo don't need it. Many people are confused about this law. It is fairly simple really. Thoase who need it are supposed to have it, those who don't - shouldn't have it.
