Kroger Specialty Pharmacy acquisition

The parent company of our pharmacy benefit management partner, CarelonRx, Inc., has acquired Kroger Specialty Pharmacy. This follows the recent acquisitions of Paragon Healthcare, Inc. and BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy, all aimed at enhancing support for individuals with chronic and complex conditions.

To ensure a seamless patient experience, most prescriptions for former Kroger Specialty Pharmacy patients are being handled by BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy, a CarelonRx company. This acquisition supports the ability of BioPlus to provide a comprehensive and personalized experience focused on the patient’s whole health. If you have new specialty pharmacy prescriptions, please send them to BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy.

If you have any questions, please call your Anthem provider relationship management representative.

CarelonRx, Inc. is an independent company providing pharmacy benefit management services on behalf of the health plan.
