About CCRx

The services are designed to increase profits for pharmacies. Services include: clinical review, expedited medical insurance verification, training for drug dispensing, insurance billing, collections, and reconciliation.

The division will provide key services to undervalued clients by securing reimbursement of overlooked revenue within the ever-expanding market of the specialty pharmacy market in today's healthcare system.
Specialty drugs, often described as prescription drugs that are difficult to manufacture and require special handling or administration, have limited distribution, target a narrow group of chronic diseases, are costly, and require ongoing clinical support, we believe, will drive nearly all the pharmaceutical industry’s market growth from 2015–2020.
Industry analysts project the total pharmaceutical industry to exceed $483 billion in 2020, with specialty pharmaceuticals making up 44% of the revenue. If these projections hold true, specialty drugs will have increased their revenues by over 5X from 2010–2020, growing from just 15% of the market to nearly half in that decade.
