Credentialing Pharmacists: Reflection on the Need for Advocacy, Expertise, and Outcomes

In recent years, our nation has seen pharmacist provider status legislation take off like a wildfire. Pharmacist providers are more ready than ever to make use of their advanced clinical training and patient relationships.  Currently over half of the states have active Medicaid payment parity laws and about a third require provider status and/or payment by Commercial Insurance. Scope enables collaborative practice agreements and prescribing services in all states. Recognizing the growing shortages in the primary care sector, pharmacists are perfectly situated in the community to effectively manage chronic diseases and address acute needs. Why, then, are pharmacists still not commonplace as in-network providers with medical plans in our healthcare system? There are many factors that contribute to this discrepancy. Community pharmacists, unlike other healthcare provider types, have competing alternative routes for receiving payment which pose fewer barriers. Additionally, workflow in a community pharmacy is “retail” oriented. Spending extended time beyond a transaction-based encounter requires planning, modifications and sometimes even changes to the physical layout of a pharmacy. Perhaps one of the biggest barriers is awareness. Collaborating providers, health plans, patients and even our own pharmacy community are often unaware of the patient care services pharmacists already provide and can receive reimbursement for.  Despite these challenges, I envision pharmacist credentialing with medical plans as the first of many steps required to generate a long-term shift in our profession. A necessary shift towards reimbursement for products AND cognitive services. I have been fortunate to have had enough conversations with a myriad of payors to know that this is something payors have a vested interest in supporting. This holds true even in states that do not yet mandate pharmacists to be credentialed and enrolled to be reimbursed for services. Let's embark on this journey as a unified profession, combining efforts of advocacy, expertise, and outcomes to transform together!

⛈️ 20.05.2024 // I studied a bit today (2 hours) and I did a lesson about the ophthalmic dosage form! There was a storm while I was doing it so it was just perfect to study with some real thunder noise!!

I also cooked some pizzas (like we choose the ingredients and all) and they were really good!! :))

I try to get back into studying, my exams are in a month so I really really have to study more!!!

Whumpee gets a migraine

Whumpee took the last pill theu had on hand just a day before it's me I am Whumpee

They are already taking a different type of medication that would not go well with their migraine pills

They're held captive, with no access to medication at all

Whumper sees that something is wrong, they decide to leave Whumpee alone for that day

"I have the pills here, what would you do to get them?" "Anything! Anything you want! Please" Whumper watches in amusement as Whumpee grovels at their feet for mercy.

Whumper beating Whumpee up badly for being in pain they didn't cause, but here's the thing, Whumpee is relieved to be distracted by it.

Intimate whumper cradling Whumpee in their lap, gently rocking them back and forth, and petting their hair to comfort them as Whumpee wails. They don't even offer medication.

I completely understand the massive staffing, social, and structural issues that are faced by pharmacists and pharmacy techs, and I know there are plenty of reasons going to the pharmacy is unpleasant that are in no way the fault of the staff. But the experience of going to pick of medication is actually so unbalanced and absurd. You stand at the counter waiting to be acknowledged while they ignore you and avoid eye contact like you're a Gorgon. If you draw their attention they act like you just interrupted them performing open heart surgery even though you've been there a solid 5 minutes in silence alone with a line starting behind you. Then it becomes psychological warfare as you try to give them the information to get your scripts but you're never fast enough and they always seem to be waiting on you in a huff even if you blurt it all out like "LASTNAMEFIRSTNAMESPELLEDN-A-M-EDATEOFBIRTH" in one breath. Then they go to get your medication and it's $500 a pop and you have to bow and thank them for the privilege. And then the next time you come back the song and dance starts all over again. Every single pharmacy I've ever been to has been like this, small or big

my household depends on disability income that is for sure going to be on the chopping block. I’m not trying to be doomerist, I’m just going off what this man has historically tried to do during his last tenure and what he has been promising to do all along his recent campaign.

Im going to have to open up some amount of donations at some point, im sure. In the meantime I’m going to have to pursue things seriously that I was putting off because of self-doubt and insecurity. I’m going to have to figure out if opening up art commissions is something I can feasibly get a handle on, I’m going to actually try to cobble together my cringe plans for a YouTube channel. I am going to have to iron out plans b and c and d and e if these primary ways of getting back into the non-traditional workforce don’t pan out. I think the only way to insulate my vulnerable household to any degree is to, unfortunately, try to accrue some amount of money, and try to relocate to a city/state that has more available community — which also takes money.

I wish everyone I know the easiest life possible. I hope you catch every single break that is conceivable for you to catch. I’m not sure I will make it, to be totally fucking honest with you, but I’m going to have to try. If you’re trying too, I hope it is smooth sailing as much as possible. I hope miracles happen for you. I hope whatever burdens you have are light. Even if you don’t really see me around, I am rooting for you.
