Important FAQs/Information

Q: If I designate one contract pharmacy location to receive orders of medicines subject to this policy, should I also make a separate designation for a contract pharmacy location to receive AbbVie medicines subject to a limited distribution network?
Yes, you should separately designate one contract pharmacy location to receive medicines subject to a limited distribution network. AbbVie will facilitate bill to/ ship to orders to this designated pharmacy. Currently, this separate contract pharmacy designation is available for Duopa and Imbruvica. Accordingly, this pharmacy designation may be in addition to the one permitted contract pharmacy designation for other AbbVie medicines.
