Cost Management

We offer medication management programs designed to provide superior, yet cost effective, palliative care. Our clinicians provide comprehensive cost containment measures and hospice-specific formulary management programs customized for each partner we serve. We eliminate and/or minimize drug orders not related to terminal diagnosis. We offer therapeutic interchange options that provide additional cost savings and eliminate duplicate therapies.
