He discusses how pharmacists streamline prior authorization for HER2-targeted therapies by ensuring complete, timely documentation and leveraging strategies that minimize delays. Arango also explains how financial navigation is woven into clinical workflow, helping patients access copay assistance, charitable foundations, and manufacturer support programs.
