Preliminary data for a diabetes management program with a Medicaid MCO shows that 64% of patients that engaged at least twice with CPESN North Carolina pharmacists maintained or improved their A1c values. Madeline Clark, one of the network facilitators, says participating pharmacists are excited about the opportunity to reach even more patients with an increased budget under the contract renewal.

Increased pharmacy engagement with a Medicaid MCO population is the goal for CPESN® North Carolina pharmacies participating in a renewed diabetes management program. Clinical services being provided under the contract med sync and other efforts to increase adherence, as well as regular monitoring of glucose levels. Laura Rhodes, Managing Network Facilitator, hopes the deeper patient engagement and refreshed data will lead to another renewal for 2025.

Renewal of a contract with Nebraska Total Care continues delivery of clinical services to enrolled Medicaid patients by CPESN Nebraska pharmacies. Last year, $177,000 was paid to 39 of the network's 60 pharmacies for chronic care management services - or $4,500+ per store. And the network earned an additional $34K for closing care gaps, contributing positively to the payer's overall quality ratings. Staci Hubert, Managing Network Facilitator describes the program.

In this contract with a statewide Medicaid MCO, Pennsylvania Pharmacist Care Network pharmacists identify gaps in care and address medication adherence for plan-identified patients with COPD and diabetes.
