Pharmacies in Pennsylvania and across the country are transforming their care delivery model and documenting the care provided to patients to express their value to payers. This transformation is setting them up to sustain and thrive in a new era of healthcare with value-based payment models.
In this episode of Beyond the Sig, we talk to one pharmacist who started his pharmacy with this care delivery model in mind and is expressing his value to a payer often forgotten in health care – the patient. Kyle McCormick, PharmD is the owner of Blueberry Pharmacy in Westview, Pennsylvania, a different kind of pharmacy that sets itself apart from the rest by providing access to low-cost medications without the need for insurance. With optional membership programs available to fit patients’ needs, the savings people see on their medications are substantial. Kyle offers his insight on how pharmacists can provide care and value directly to patients.
