Medco Therapeutic Resource Centers®

Categories: Diabetes Prevention,Promote Health and Wellness

Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska members have access to Medco Therapeutic Resource Centers (TRCs) through the Medco By Mail program.  TRCs are designed to meet the complex needs of chronically ill patients who require ongoing medication therapy, the 50 percent of Plan members who account for more than 90 percent of Plan medication costs.  Specifically, TRCs leverage the specialized knowledge of more than 800 specialty pharmacists trained in diabetes, cancer, heart disease and asthma to achieve improved care coordination and clinical outcomes.  The key advantage is concentrating on a single set of patients and delivering services through highly skilled and credentialed pharmacists.
