The Rare and Imported Medication Sourcing service helps patients access specialized medications that may be difficult to obtain locally through coordination with authorized service providers within Macrocare’s network.
The patient's prescription or medical report is reviewed to identify the required medication accurately, including its name, active ingredient, strength, dosage form, and required quantity. Macrocare then coordinates with an authorized service provider to check medication availability and the requirements needed to obtain it.
The ability to source a medication depends on its availability, type, required approvals, and applicable local regulations governing its importation and distribution.
