Mobile Administration Program:
Our Nurses Are Here for Your Patients
When caring for patients who are receiving SIGNIFOR® LAR therapy, you know how important it is to administer injections exactly as prescribed. But you also know that it's not always easy for some of your patients to get to the office to receive their injections by a trained health care provider.
The SIGNIFOR Mobile Administration Program (MAP) was created to help eligible patients receive their injections on schedule at home or at a location convenient to them, by a trained health care professional. Through this program, you will receive regular patient reports, to keep you up to date on your patients' receipt of SIGNIFOR LAR injections. This program is not intended to replace the care provided by a patient's health care team.
Which patients are eligible?
The MAP is available to eligible patients with acromegaly for whom SIGNIFOR LAR has been prescribed.
- Patients must be recommended by their physician
- Residents of all states except Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, and Rhode Island can participate
- The program is available to patients covered by most commercial plans (HMO, PPO, etc)
- Patients with government-provided medical insurance (eg, Medicare Part B and D, or Medicaid) are not eligible
Your office can confirm patient eligibility easily by calling 1-877-503-3377 and speaking with a representative. You can also print the enrollment form by clicking here.
Advantages of the MAP
Because the program provides specially trained registered nurses, you can feel confident that your eligible patients will be taken care of professionally and that the highest standards will be adhered to.
- No guesswork. You know that your patient will receive the right dose, at the right time, using the right technique
- Feedback from registered nurses. The nurse will submit a detailed report to you after each visit. You will know when the patient receives his/her treatment at the prescribed dose
- Your patients can receive injections at a time and place that is convenient for them. Nurses are available outside traditional office hours, including weekends and evenings, even when patients are traveling within the continental United States
- Time saved for your patient. Your patient won't need to make long trips to the treatment center
- Nurse handles all needle disposals. The program nurse handles disposal of all equipment
- This does not replace regular patient visits or monitoring by physicians
How MAP works
- As the prescribing physician, you evaluate your patients on a case-by-case basis and decide who is appropriate for the program
- Your office submits the patient's information to the company that administers the program, in one of two ways:
- By calling 1-877-503-3377 or
- By completing and sending in the enrollment form
- Patient eligibility is verified according to your patient's insurance plan
- Your patient receives a call to schedule the next injection at a time and place convenient for the patient. (Patients must receive their first dose of SIGNIFOR LAR in your office)
- A specially trained treatment nurse visits your patient's home and:
- Administers the injection
- Schedules the next appointment and follows up with a reminder
- Sends a report to you, the prescribing physician, to update you on the patient’s status
Important Things to Note About MAP
- The program does not replace your care or the authority of the prescribing physician. It simply provides your patients with the convenience of home injections. Patients still keep their regular, scheduled physician checkups
- Patients must receive their first dose of SIGNIFOR LAR in your office
- Nurses who take part in this program are specially trained to mix and administer SIGNIFOR LAR
