Ronna Hauser, SVP Policy & Pharmacy Affairs with NCPA, joins Debbie Marcello on this legislative update Happier at Home PRN Podcast Episode. From the NCPA: PCMA is out promoting their usual misinformation trying to portray PBMs as cost saving entities. We need YOU to set the record straight! We need you to let lawmakers know how PBMs really impact community pharmacy and your patients. We need you to advocate for common sense solutions. We have several pieces of priority legislation near the finish line and only your elected officials can make them a reality. We've been sending thousands of messages to Capitol Hill in the last few weeks and we need to send thousands more to make sure every single lawmaker hears from us multiple times. When they hear from us, they understand what's at stake. When they hear from you, they understand why it matters.
Act now, or forever wonder if you did all you could do to ensure pharmacy's future!
Tell your legislators to support the following priorities:
  • S. 2973, the Modernizing and Ensuring PBM Accountability (MEPA) Act (passed 26-1 out of the Senate Finance Committee)/H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act (passed the House of Representatives on an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 320-71)
    • Bans spread pricing in Medicaid managed care by requiring a fair and transparent Medicaid reimbursement to pharmacies and saves over $1 billion!
  • S. 3430, Better Mental Health Care, Lower-Cost Drugs, and Extenders Act (unanimously passed the Senate Finance Committee)
    • Includes the No PBMs Act which requires CMS to define reasonable and relevant contract terms in Medicare.
  • S. 127, the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act (passed 18-9 out of the Senate Commerce Committee)

play

02/28/23 • 37 min

Today I would like to focus on “A Day in the Life of a Happier At Home Owner”. The angle will be about how community pharmacy owners can manage this while operating their pharmacy businesses. Below are some questions for Marie to guide the conversation.
  1. What are the factors that you considered when deciding to start you Happier At Home business? (ex/ wanting to build a business for yourself that builds equity, wanting to increase quality of care of your community, wanting independence and to earn financially without health insurance oversite)
  2. Are you stuck in an office running your business? Focus here should be how you are a passive owner (as the pharmacy owners will be), and that you oversee and manage the administrative staff. That you are responsible for strategy for the growth of your company
  3. You hired a qualified full-time employee to work in the business day to day?
  4. As the VP of Training and Field Operations of the Happier At Home franchise, what characteristic have you seen in the pharmacy owners that may be a predictor to success? Ex/ being forward-thinking, entrepreneurial, following our processes
  5. What types of activities does the Business Support Manager do? Can talk about day-to-day activities
  6. Any closing advice or suggestions to our Community Pharmacy owners listening today? Perhaps can talk about your growth and that even though you were nervous about moving forward, you are glad that you did and for what reasons.

Axios article:
https://www.axios.com/2023/01/12/more-in-home-care-options-risks
The pandemic-fueled boom in home care could be replicating one of the most worrisome hazards in institutional settings: bloodstream infections from central lines.
Driving the news: Home infusion therapy — whether for cancer drugs, antibiotics or other treatments — is becoming a preferred option for more patients.
  • "In the home, it's the patients, or sometimes a family member, sometimes a friend, or sometimes a neighbor that is basically doing the same work," she said.
  • That doesn't mean infection rates are higher outside the hospital, Keller said. “The best available data shows infections occur at a lower rate than in the hospital. But, because there are more and more people in home care, it is something we need to pay attention to,” Keller said.
