Our Services at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Specialty Pharmacy:

Our pharmacists and technicians provide specialized medications that are not generally available in pharmacies. Before you receive your medication, we will discuss with you, your family members or caregivers how to administer injections and other medications at home.

Our pharmacists and their teams offer:

Specialty medicines: We have access to specialist medicines for complex, chronic conditions. Our team works closely with your healthcare providers to ensure you get the right medicines, in the exact dosages and forms you need.
Patient education and training: Before you receive your medications, our pharmacists will help you understand your medications. We’ll talk you through what to expect, including how the medications work, how to give injections and other medications, what to do if you miss a dose, and how to manage side effects. We’ll teach you how to safely store and dispose of medications, sharp objects (such as needles and devices that can pierce the skin), and other materials to keep them away from children and pets.
Help with health insurance: Our team will help you navigate the health insurance process and find ways to pay for your medications. We’ll help you understand your plan’s coverage, obtain prior authorizations, and find assistance programs to make your medications more affordable.
Home delivery of medicines: We can deliver your medications to your home throughout Maryland and most states.

Your first recipe: You or your healthcare provider sends us your prescription, regardless of whether you have had outpatient treatment or have been admitted to hospital.

Research into benefits: We work with your provider and insurance to get the necessary approvals for your insurance to cover the medication. This can take up to two weeks.

Medication delivery: We ask you how you would like to receive your medication, by:
- Pick up at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg.
- Free delivery to your home or other location in Florida.

Medication Repetitions: We will remind you before you need a repeat prescription. You can also call us to schedule a repeat prescription. Call us a week before your supply runs out so we can make sure you get your medication on time.

Follow-up:A pharmacist will contact you while you are taking any special medications to assess any side effects, check that you are taking the medications as prescribed, and perform laboratory tests if necessary.
