How do I order specialty drugs?
If your medication is included in the specialty drug guide (PDF) you can:

- Fill your prescription at a retail pharmacy. Not all pharmacies will dispense specialty drugs, so call your pharmacy to verify that they will fill your prescription.
- If filling your prescription at a retail pharmacy outside of Michigan, you must make sure the pharmacy you will be using participates in the out-of-state specialty pharmacy network. To check the pharmacy listing, click the appropriate link below:
