- Coordinating medication refills and treatment plans for patients
- Training on the use of Remodulin—in-home, hospital, or clinic teaching available
- Follow-up nurse visits to patients’ homes
- 24-hour hotline with staff who can answer questions from both patients and healthcare practices

Referral process
By referring Remodulin for your patients, you can initiate support with the SP of your choice. As soon as a patient’s referral form for Remodulin is received and successfully processed, the SP will initiate support. The referral process includes downloading the referral form, completing as instructed, and faxing to either Accredo or CVS Specialty at the fax numbers above.

The Remodulin SPmix Program delivers up to 7 days of premixed IV Remodulin and all necessary supplies to your patients’ homes each week.
Who is eligible?
The Remodulin SPmix Program is for patients who are physically or otherwise unable to mix their medication, or who would prefer to receive their medication premixed for use in the CADD-Legacy® 1 pump.
Patients must be:
- On a stable dose of IV Remodulin for at least a month with no immediate plans for titration
- Self-mixing for at least 3 months prior to submitting an enrollment form for the program
The Remodulin SPmix Program is only available to IV Remodulin patients using the CADD-Legacy 1 pump with high-pH glycine sterile diluent for Remodulin. Remodulin may be administered as a continuous SC infusion or continuous IV infusion; however, because of the risks associated with chronic indwelling central venous catheters, including serious bloodstream infections, continuous IV infusion should be reserved for patients who are intolerant of the SC route, or in whom these risks are considered warranted.
