We created our Rare Disease Certification for organizations that rise to the challenge of providing the high level of care necessary to serve patients with rare diseases. If your organization has already earned URAC’s gold star for Specialty Pharmacy or Specialty Pharmacy Services Accreditation, then this program could be the one to show manufacturers, providers and patients how you go above and beyond when treating patients with rare diseases.
