An Overview of the CMS ACCESS Program | IRxF Ep#85

This week, Leanne Haley-Brown, Bob Lomenick, and Michelle Farrell join host John Beckner for a discussion on the new ACCESS to Pharmacy Care program. ACCESS to Pharmacy Care is an NCPA program, powered by CPESN® with GamePlan Medical, that enables community pharmacy participation in CMS ACCESS, supporting national scale and sustainable engagement for community pharmacies. The conversation explores why the program represents a turning point for the profession and how owners can leverage their team and technology to create sustainable workflows that support patient care and boost their business. Participation in the NCPA CMS ACCESS program creates opportunities for increased revenue ($8-10 per patient per month), has no cost to participate, and demonstrates pharmacists' ability to improve patient outcomes, enhance care coordination, reduce healthcare costs, thereby strengthening the evidence for recognizing pharmacists as healthcare providers in future payment and policy decisions.
