Speciality medications
Use the health system pharmacy for pick-up or delivery
Specialty medications, used to treat complex, chronic health conditions, must be filled by the health system pharmacy for a maximum of a 30-day supply, unless otherwise noted by the formulary. If you choose to fill your specialty prescription outside the health system pharmacy, you will pay the full cost of the medication. This amount will not apply toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
How to fill new specialty prescriptions at the health system pharmacy
To see if your medication falls into the specialty category, look for UKMSP, MSP or LDD on the prescription drug formulary in the column labeled “Special Code”
If it does, ask your provider to send a new electronic prescription to:
The University of Kansas Health System Southlake Retail Pharmacy
11300 Corporate Ave., Lenexa, KS 66219
