This new venture will give PharmMD access to ChainDrugStore.net's network of 40,000 plus pharmacists, establishing PharmMD even further as the nation's quality leader in MTM. In return, PharmMD gives CDS.net's vast network of pharmacists the opportunity to join PMD's elite team providing the expertise that results in quality MTM affecting hundreds of thousands of lives.
"Both the marketplace and the Health Reform bill are demanding that we address the appropriate use of medication and develop tools to combat misuse, errors and adverse reactions," said Bo Bartholomew, PharmMD's President and CEO. "We believe there is tremendous opportunity for medication therapy management (MTM) to control medical and drug spending while also limiting the downstream healthcare costs created by medication errors or drug interactions. We are pleased to work with pharmacists through ChainDrugStore.net on this important initiative."
PharmMD works to optimize medication use and directly improve overall healthcare costs by connecting health-plan members, patients, and beneficiaries to skilled pharmacists and prescribers. These specialized medication experts provide beneficiaries with a level of quality care that changes the traditional view of how pharmacists relate to patients and their medications. Based on their ability to provide efficient and effective clinical services, participating pharmacists are guaranteed a consistent number of referrals from PharmMD.
Pharmacists wishing to join PharmMD's MTM network are encouraged to complete an application by going to www.pharmmd.com or www.CDS.net.
