Important Update: Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy is Becoming Optum® Specialty Pharmacy

What is changing?

• Over time, the Diplomat brand will be retired and the Optum^® Specialty brand will take its place. This will change the names and logos you see on your medications and the way you contact your specialty team. You can still expect the same personal service.

When will this change happen?

• You will start to see the Optum® Specialty Pharmacy name over the next year.
• This change takes time. For a while you may see both brands when you use your specialty pharmacy.
