Senderra Specialty Pharmacy announced the addition of Ebglyss (lebrikizumab-lbkz, Lilly), a first-line biologic treatment for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 40 kg, are not well controlled with prescription topical therapies, or cannot use topical therapies to SenderraCare+. This digital solution provides patients with a seamless, interactive patient journey in real time, including status updates regarding their medications and two-way communication throughout the process. It is conveniently delivered to the patient’s mobile phone, tablet or desktop. Lilly joins top pharmaceutical manufacturers that have engaged with Senderra to provide this turnkey digital service for patients on specialty medications. This solution solves several key issues impeding patient healthcare related to specialty medications.

“We’re thrilled to integrate Ebglyss into our innovative SenderraCare+ platform, setting a new standard for patient-focused specialty care,” said Will Howard, the CEO and a co-founder of Senderra Specialty Pharmacy. “At Senderra, we constantly pursue innovations that improve the specialty medication experience, working alongside Lilly and our network of providers to find opportunities, solve challenges, and deliver seamless, top-tier experiences for every patient.”

Key benefits of SenderraCare+ are the ability to reduce the onboarding time for patients to start their medications, improvements in medication adherence and a reduction in patient abandonment. Patients may enroll through a digital SMS text as soon as they leave their provider’s office and preschedule a welcome call with a member of Senderra’s patient care team to begin their therapy. The digital solution empowers patients to take control of their journey, providing the ability to digitally sign the consent, provide personal demographic information, upload insurance information, schedule a welcome call and a delivery time of their choice for the prescribed medications, and the ability to schedule medication refills and request a live, patient consultation from a pharmacist or nurse. All of these features are hosted in a safe and secure environment, allowing the patient process flow to accelerate seamlessly due to digital contact, two-way interaction and patient engagement.

The healthcare providers’ offices also benefit from SenderraCare+, as Senderra provides prior authorization services for all patient prescriptions. This high-touch level of service frees up time in the providers’ offices. Senderra’s service model ensures each prescription receives prior authorization before filling or, if necessary, is transferred to a mandated specialty pharmacy. Additionally, Senderra established a SenderraCare+ Provider Network, which automatically enrolls the patient in SenderraCare+ as soon as the prescription is sent to Senderra, providing a streamlined process for the patient to begin therapy faster. Senderra supports more than 12,000 providers across the country and keeps providers informed about the patient's journey throughout the process.
