In this IPC-sponsored episode, Todd Eury explores how manufacturer-direct programs, direct-to-consumer channels, cash-pay models, specialty carve-outs, and new reimbursement structures are reshaping medication access and independent pharmacy.
 
Joining the conversation are Shelley Bailey of Independent Pharmacy Cooperative and Sammy Salem, Principal Owner and COO of Vios Health and an Executive Board Member of AAPARx.
 
Manufacturer-direct care is often associated with websites, telehealth, and mail-order fulfillment—but it does not have to exclude community pharmacy. IPC is developing infrastructure that allows patients to receive manufacturer-supported pricing while participating independent pharmacies remain the dispensing location.
 
The discussion examines IPC’s manufacturer-sponsored GLP-1 opportunities and a broader network covering more than 140 branded medications. Shelley and Sammy explain how these programs can improve patient affordability, create more sustainable pharmacy economics, and help independent pharmacies reconnect with patients lost to online and manufacturer-controlled channels.
 
Topics include:
 
Whether the traditional pharmacy benefit is beginning to fragment
How manufacturer-direct programs can include independent pharmacy
The economics behind manufacturer-supported reimbursement
Finding patients facing denied authorizations, high deductibles, lost coverage, or limited brand access
Why excellent service must now be paired with digital access and new payment models
Employer drug carve-outs and the importance of evaluating total benefit economics
Point-of-sale affordability and acquisition-cost protections
What manufacturers need to provide for pharmacy participation
How successful pharmacies can prepare for the next access model
 
The central message is clear: the industry may not need to create new dollars—it needs to change where existing dollars land.
 
In partnership with GoodRx, this manufacturer-direct program combines GoodRx’s trusted consumer platform and broad patient reach with IPC’s nationwide network of independent pharmacies. Together, we create a more direct and accessible path from patient engagement to prescription fulfillment—while keeping community pharmacies at the center of care.
 
IPC GPO members interested in participating should contact their IPC Regional Director. Other IPC members, affiliates, and interested pharmacies can reach IPC Digital Health at digital-health@ipcrx.com.

A specialty prescription can pass through a payer, PBM, hub, specialty pharmacy, provider’s office, and manufacturer support program before the patient receives the first dose. At every handoff, critical time, information, and patient confidence can be lost.
 
In Episode 1 of this three-part series, Todd Eury and leaders from AcariaHealth and CassianRx examine where fragmentation often begins: the moment a specialty prescription is written and the prescriber loses visibility into what happens next.
 
The conversation explores AcariaHealth’s use of the CassianRx ONE Journey physician portal to reconnect prescribers and their staff with the specialty pharmacy process. The platform provides NPI-scoped access to prescription status, shipment history, patient information, secure two-way communications, and document exchange.
 
The episode also examines why provider adoption is an experience challenge—not simply a technology challenge. Even the most advanced portal delivers limited value if it creates another login, adds complexity, or fails to provide immediate and meaningful information.
Topics include:
The true cost of status calls, faxes, and disconnected workflows
Improving transparency from referral through dispensing
Designing technology that prescribers and office staff will use
Secure communication between practices and specialty pharmacies
Scaling the provider experience across a national specialty operation
The appropriate role of AI in specialty pharmacy workflows
How provider connectivity can accelerate patients’ access to therapy
The episode closes with the series’ recurring question: What is the one handoff you would eliminate?
Episode 1 establishes the provider layer of the specialty journey before Episode 2 shifts attention to the person still navigating access, affordability, onboarding, and treatment—the patient.

One patient. One journey. Every stakeholder.

This week on TWIRx, we’re looking at the expanding role of pharmacists in public health, value-based care, artificial intelligence, medication intelligence, and the technology infrastructure supporting independent community pharmacy.
 
We begin with a special conversation featuring Alex J. Adams, PharmD, MPH, Assistant Secretary for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and Pennsylvania pharmacy leader Robert “Rob” Maher, PharmD, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Care Network (PPCN).
 
Dr. Adams brings a pharmacist’s perspective to federal health and human services leadership, while Maher leads a statewide clinically integrated pharmacy network focused on measurable patient outcomes. Together, we discuss how pharmacists are becoming increasingly involved in public health initiatives and how organizations such as PPCN are helping demonstrate the value of pharmacist-provided care through value-based models in Pennsylvania.
 
Next, we continue our countdown to NASP inSPire 2026 with one of PPN’s Podcast Press Sponsors, Hendren AI.
 
John Boos, PharmD, MBA, Founder and CEO of Hendren AI, joins us to examine the growing role of artificial intelligence in specialty pharmacy and rare disease management. We discuss how AI-enabled tools can support pharmacists by processing complex information, improving workflow efficiency, automating administrative processes, and helping pharmacy teams devote more time to clinical care and patient engagement.
 
Our 3rd segement on today’s TWIRx, we catch up with Vince Costanzo of RxBLU for an important discussion about the rapidly changing pharmacy technology landscape.
 
Pharmacy software today is about far more than features and functionality. For an independent pharmacy, its technology platform can sit at the center of dispensing, claims, inventory, patient communication, workflow, and business continuity.
 
We discuss why pharmacies should evaluate not only the technology they purchase, but also the stability, accessibility, support structure, and long-term strategy of the company behind it. As consolidation continues throughout healthcare technology, independent pharmacy owners need to understand what a potential acquisition, ownership change, or shift in corporate priorities could mean for the software platforms their operations depend upon.
 
Our featured Podcast Press Sponsor is First Databank — FDB.
 
David Delaney, MD, President of FDB, joins TWIRx to discuss the company's newly announced FDB Script Agent™, an AI-powered prescribing agent designed to move ambient listening beyond clinical documentation.
 
FDB Script Agent converts patient-clinician dialogue into structured prescriptions ready for clinician review, using FDB medication intelligence to provide clinical grounding and codification rather than relying on simple natural-language processing alone. We explore what this next generation of ambient AI could mean for prescribing workflows, medication safety, clinicians, and ultimately the pharmacies receiving those prescriptions.
 
It’s another packed edition of This Week in Pharmacy — connecting pharmacy leadership, public health, specialty pharmacy, artificial intelligence and the technology shaping the future of the profession.
 
This is TWIRx — This Week in Pharmacy, from the Pharmacy Podcast Network.

Hospital pharmacy is evolving rapidly — and pharmacists are playing a more influential role than ever in shaping safe, personalised and effective patient care.
In this first episode of a special three-part series presented in partnership with Clinigen’s Love Your Pharmacist Awards, we explore how hospital pharmacy has transformed from a traditionally dispensing-focused profession into a highly clinical, technology-enabled and collaborative discipline.
Host Todd Eury welcomes Dr. Varun Sethi, SVP, Asia-Pacific and Japan Region at Clinigen, and Alison Tennant, former Chief Pharmacist and recipient of the 2025 Love Your Pharmacist Lifetime Achievement Award.
Together, they discuss how pharmacists are helping solve complex treatment challenges, manage medicine shortages, support multidisciplinary clinical decisions and improve access to specialised therapies. The conversation also examines the growing influence of artificial intelligence, electronic prescribing, automation, pharmacogenomics and personalised medicine — and why human judgement, empathy and patient advocacy remain irreplaceable.
The episode also looks ahead to emerging innovations including advanced formulations, precision therapies and 3D-printed medicines.
At the heart of the discussion is a simple message: hospital pharmacists are often working behind the scenes, but their impact can be felt throughout the entire patient journey.
The Love Your Pharmacist Awards celebrate those extraordinary contributions.

TWIRx NEWS
1. Medicare Part D Paid Nearly $588 Million for Ineligible OTC Drugs
 
A federal audit found that Medicare Part D sponsors made approximately $587.7 million in ineligible payments from 2021 through 2023 for medications that had effectively transitioned from prescription to over-the-counter status.
 
The HHS Office of Inspector General cited outdated FDA information and the lack of a clear CMS rejection timeline as major contributors.
 
Why it matters: This exposes a serious coordination problem across FDA data, manufacturers, CMS, health plans and pharmacy claims systems.
 
Pharmacists may see the rejection or payment issue at the counter, but the failure often begins far upstream.

2. FDA Responds to Estradiol Patch Supply Pressure
 
The FDA is working with six manufacturers to improve access to estradiol transdermal patches amid increased demand.
 
While FDA has not declared a national shortage, availability varies by product, strength and geographic area. Manufacturers are increasing production through larger batches, added shifts and expanded capacity.
 
Why it matters: Pharmacists are again serving as the front line of a supply-chain challenge—helping patients locate medication, coordinating with prescribers and identifying alternatives.

3. New RSV and COVID-19 Guidance Released
 
The American Academy of Pediatrics and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have issued updated recommendations for RSV and COVID-19 protection during the 2026–2027 respiratory season.
 
Why it matters: Pharmacists may face conflicting recommendations, patient confusion and questions about eligibility.
 
Clear counseling and coordination with pediatric and obstetric providers will be critical.

FEATURED CONVERSATION
Building a Bridge to GLP-1 Access
 
Our featured guest is HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health.
 
HaVy works at the intersection of pharmacy, healthcare technology, medication affordability and prescription access.
 
Buzz Health operates platforms including BuzzRx, RxCompare and RxAffect, with a focus on helping connect patients, pharmacies, prescribers and prescription pricing information.
 
That makes today’s discussion particularly timely.
THE MEDICARE GLP-1 BRIDGE
 
CMS launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge on July 1, 2026, to provide eligible Medicare Part D beneficiaries access to selected GLP-1 medications for weight management.
 
The demonstration runs through December 31, 2027.
 
Eligible beneficiaries pay $50 for a monthly supply, while the program operates outside the traditional Part D payment flow through centralized prior authorization, claims adjudication and pharmacy payment.
 
Eligible therapies currently include:
 
Foundayo®Wegovy®Zepbound®
 
The bigger issue is not simply GLP-1 coverage.
 
It is how healthcare connects eligibility, affordability, prior authorization, pharmacy workflow and patient access.
 
The central question for today’s discussion:
 
Can we create a medication-access system where patients know whether they can obtain and afford their therapy before they reach the pharmacy counter?
CLOSING THOUGHT
 
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge is more than another federal drug program.
 
It is a real-world test of how healthcare can better connect coverage, affordability, prior authorization and pharmacy fulfillment around high-demand therapies.
 
Pharmacists remain at the center of that process.
 
The opportunity is to use technology to move more complexity upstream—allowing pharmacists to spend less time troubleshooting prescriptions and more time caring for patients.
 
Our thanks to HaVy Ngo-Hamilton, PharmD, RPh, Senior Pharmacy Director at Buzz Health, for joining us on This Week in Pharmacy.

Featured Guest: Bhuren Patel, CEO, PelMedsPresented by: SuiteRx Pharmacy Technology Platforms
 
Episode Focus
This episode will explore how PelMeds has developed a closed-door, full-service pharmacy model centered on medication management, specialized packaging, compounding, specialty products, and coordinated delivery. PelMeds serves residential schools, group homes, hospice and palliative care organizations, assisted living residents, individual patients, and veterinary clients.
 
Discussion Topics
 
1. The PelMeds Growth StoryBhuren’s pharmacy leadership journey and how PelMeds evolved to meet increasingly complex medication needs.
 
2. Serving Diverse Care EnvironmentsThe operational differences involved in supporting group homes, assisted living communities, residential programs, hospice care, individual patients, and veterinary practices.
 
3. Medication Management and Specialized PackagingHow adherence packaging, refill coordination, delivery, and proactive communication improve safety, efficiency, and continuity of care.
 
4. Technology Behind the WorkflowHow pharmacy technology can connect dispensing, packaging, documentation, communication, delivery, and customer service.
 
5. Balancing Personal Service with ScaleMaintaining a high-touch pharmacy experience while expanding operations, services, and customer relationships.
 
Key Takeaway
Successful pharmacy growth increasingly depends on combining technology, medication-management expertise, dependable delivery, and personalized service—not simply filling prescriptions.

As MTM evolves and pharmacies prepare for increased demand, what does success look like from both the technology side and the pharmacy operations side? Ross brings the perspective of innovation, workflow transformation, and MTM Intelligence. Jon brings the perspective of an independent pharmacy owner and operator who understands the realities of staffing shortages, prescription volume, patient expectations, and limited resources. The result is a conversation that feels less like a product discussion and more like an industry discussion about helping independent pharmacies thrive.
