How to Prescribe to Biologics | Biologics by McKesson

Specialty pharmacy experience you can rely on

Biologics by McKesson brings more than 30 years of specialty pharmacy experience supporting complex medication journeys. Our specialty pharmacy services support patients throughout treatment, with clinical care focused on adherence and continuity across oncology, rare and orphan diseases, and cell and gene therapy. Below you’ll find what to send, how to submit prescriptions, and what happens next.

What to Send

The best way to ensure your prescription includes all the information we’ll need is to send us an e-script and fax using the Prescription Referral Form with the supporting documentation requested within the below Prescription Referral Checklist. Our team will match the e-script to the supporting documents and reach out if we have any questions.

Biologics Prescription Referral Checklist

We’re contracted with over 500 payers and can help your patients with financial assistance. If for some reason we’re not in network, we’ll immediately send the prescription to a specialty pharmacy that is. To expedite the referral process and ensure timely medication shipment to your patient, please provide the following when sending a prescription:

The prescription and explicit start date
A written diagnosis, primary diagnosis code (ICD-10) and stage of disease for the prescribed medication
Clear dosing instructions: total dose, quantity, frequency (qd, bid) and refills
A description of the patient, including:
- Height and weight
- Date of birth
- Mobile phone and caregiver contact information
- Copies of the front and back of all insurance cards, including prescription and medical, and demographic fact sheet, including the patient email

Clinical information that supports the treatment decision, including pathology or laboratory reports, treatment history, and a description of the treatment plan
For Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants, please include the name, NPI# and DEA# of the supervising physician
