Hemophilia
What to expect with your patient’s Hemophilia therapy
Burmans Specialty Pharmacy understands the special needs of patients with Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that causes joint deterioration as well as risk for serious injury due to the blood not being able to clot properly. The pharmacy care management team works closely with the patient, treatment center and care giver to establish a care plan that best meets their specific healthcare needs.
For patients with this ongoing bleeding disorder, we provide the medication and support they need to lead active, full lives. Part of our service is to strive to dispense as close to the therapeutically appropriate amount to control the bleed. By dispensing appropriate amounts of factor with a goal of within 5% of the prescription extends a patient benefit when life time maximums are a concern. Further this dispensing policy provides benefits to our payer partners by guaranteeing we minimize waste by dispensing only the amount appropriate to control the bleed based on body weight and factor activity levels.

An experienced team to help manage your patients’ Hemophilia
We incorporate the following into our Hemophilia treatment program:
Assessment – After you place your patient’s first order, a patient care coordinator (PCC) will contact them to verify key information – such as age, weight, therapy, dose, any allergies, and shipping address. The PCC will assess the patient’s therapy support needs. We will determine if the patient needs more help understanding their condition or medication.
Clinical help – If you or your patients have any questions, our nurses and pharmacists are always available to assist. Patients who require nursing support they will be assigned nurse who specializes in hemophilia therapy. The pharmacy care manager is a registered pharmacist who will contact their assigned patient regularly to check on them.
Education – We will send your patients a welcome packet to explain our services. Depending on each patient’s need, a nurse or pharmacist who specializes in Hemophilia will provide additional education. Each new patient receives a welcome kit with sharps container, factor log tracking tool, video and all ancillary supplies.
Hemophilia care plan – We monitor each patient’s therapy usage. We make sure they always have the right medication and dose for their needs. If your patient wants additional support, we will contact them as often as they need us.
If your patient meets medical approval for home health care, we can arrange for a home health care nurse to administer their therapy in the comfort of their home. And we’ll keep in contact with you so you know how your patient is doing between office visits.
Extra service at refill time – We will call your patient one week before their refills are due to schedule their next delivery. We inquire on patient’s inventory levels and determine optimal assays to ensure appropriate factor blood levels while also managing waste. We’ll ask your patient to confirm:
- How they are doing with their therapy.
- If they are still taking the same specialty drug.
- If they are still taking the same dose.
- If they are having any side effects.
- If they need additional supplies.
- Where they would like their next refill delivered.
If your patient needs help, we’ll put them in touch with a pharmacist. We may also reach out to you to talk about your patient’s medication or dose.
Open lines of communication – Our clinical team works closely with you and your patients. A pharmacy care manager will call each patient as often as they need. If your patient expresses any concerns about their medication or dose, we will contact you to discuss.
If your patient needs extra emotional support, we can even put them in touch with a Behavioral Health specialist.
Product integrity – We take care of your patients’ medications. Our pharmacists will double check each order to make sure it’s right before it goes out the door. Our special packaging keeps your medications at the right temperature.
Dependable Delivery – We can send your patients’ medications by UPS or our dedicated delivery personnel – anywhere. That includes the patient’s home, your office, infusion center, or any other location. We track each shipment through our UPS tracking system. This ensures your patients receive safe, quick delivery of their medication.
