Key Points:
- Shifting Reimbursements: Traditional pharmacy reimbursements are changing, making it essential for pharmacies to diversify. Long-term care (LTC) offers more competitive reimbursements.
- Evolving Patient Demographics: LTC patients are no longer limited to skilled nursing facilities. They now include patients in assisted living facilities, group homes, and those receiving care at home.
- Enhanced Services: Pharmacies can provide additional services to LTC patients, such as medication therapy management and adherence packaging.
- Benefits of Combo Shops: Combo shops cater to both retail and LTC patients. This model allows pharmacies to leverage their existing infrastructure while expanding their services.
