Annual Synagis® (palivizumab) distribution program

August 29, 2013

We are approaching the 2013-2014 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season, which is November through March in the United States. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among children younger than one year of age. During the RSV season, we will approve the monthly administration of Synagis® (palivizumab) for at-risk children younger than two years of age. It is mandatory for all participating providers to obtain Synagis® (palivizumab) through ACRO Pharmaceutical Services. AmeriHealth will coordinate with ACRO Pharmaceutical Services to facilitate delivery of Synagis® (palivizumab) to your office. If you have questions about the Synagis® (palivizumab) distribution program, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-275-2583 for providers in Pennsylvania and Delaware or at 1-888-YOUR-AH1 (1-888-968-7241) for providers in New Jersey. Look for more information regarding the shipment and facilitation of Synagis® (palivizumab) in the October edition of Partners in Health UpdateSM. Note: MedImmune, LLC, the makers of Synagis® (palivizumab), has a voluntary program called RSV ConnectionTM; however, AmeriHealth does not participate in this program.
