Specialty medications are an important part of the treatment for many chronic illnesses and complex diseases such as certain cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Hepatitis C.

Therefore these medications are generally filled by a Specialty Pharmacy who can deal directly with the patient’s personal needs.

The Tablet Splitting program saves you money by breaking a higher-strength tablet in half to provide the needed dose. You will receive the same medication and dosage while purchasing fewer tablets and saving on your copayment.

There are two ways to get started with the Tablet Splitting program:

1. Call your doctor and ask them whether tablet splitting is an option for you. He or she can update your prescription with your pharmacy if appropriate.
2. Ask your pharmacist to help change your prescription to one that can be split through the Navitus Tablet Splitting program.

Tablet splitting is not required by Navitus, but is simply offered to you as a way to help control costs. If you have any questions, or would like to receive a tablet splitter, please contact Navitus Customer Care toll-free at (866) 333-2757
