Enhancing the patient experience

Navigating a serious health condition can be frustrating for any patient. Lash Group, part of AmerisourceBergen, offers support services that consistently and compassionately help patients overcome obstacles related to access, affordability and engagement—resulting in better treatment outcomes.

Increasing access

When a patient receives a life-changing diagnosis, the last thing they should have to worry about is fighting for the treatment they need. Our reimbursement services are instrumental in helping patients begin therapy more quickly and reducing patient drop-off once on therapy. Our dedicated counselors increase speed to therapy by working with payers to confirm coverage status, identifying potential barriers to access and coordinating with specialty pharmacies.

distribution methods and processes are customizable to support your product and patient needs. Integrating seamlessly with our reimbursement and co-pay services, we help ensure that assistance funds are used effectively.
