Powering Up Pharmacy: Leading the Charge in Medical-at-Home
Pharmacies are dispensing more than meds; they’re teaming up with Long-Term Care (LTC) leaders and retailers to deliver big results.
Your combo-pharmacy journey begins with GeriMed!
As an independent pharmacy owner, you’re likely navigating this complex healthcare landscape just like the rest of us; and barely making it.
Let GeriMed be an extension of your team, allowing you to dedicate more of your time and resources to what matters most: Patient care. The long-term care at-home market presents both unique challenges and significant opportunities. Offering specialized services has not only become a necessity in our profession to stay open, but an ask from our patients whose lives have evolved to need these services. The elderly are choosing to live at home longer, asking for more assistance and expecting it in return. It can feel like a lot to manage, but meeting these needs elevates your presence in your community.
That’s where GeriMed can become a vital partner for your pharmacy. ComboMed is an innovative solution from GeriMed for community pharmacies that serve patients in both retail and Long-Term Care (LTC) settings. Do you unknowingly already run a Combo Pharmacy? ComboMed allows pharmacies to gain access to enhanced reimbursement, cost of goods, and other advantages traditionally associated with a Closed-Door LTC Pharmacy designation. Are you utilizing your LTC account to make the smartest purchasing decisions? Are you using it at all? Take 10 minutes to give it a peek and see the difference this week.
Listen below as we speak with Valerie Taylor from GeriMed on how to best set your pharmacy up for success.
