Factors such as increased demand, supply chain disruptions, and insurance coverage issues contribute to the scarcity. Compounded formulations of these medications provide a promising alternative for those affected, offering personalized and potentially cost-effective options for weight loss management.We are excited to launch our newest initiative to help our patients and community who have been searching for options.Learn more / Sign up: www.SkippackPharmacy.com/weightloss#semaglutide #tirzepatide #weightloss
It’s the city of brotherly love after all and folks like Kelce inspire us to go the extra mile for others. In Philadelphia for a meeting and before leaving the pharmacy tonight had remembered a homebound senior had signed up on the pharmacy website looking to receive a vaccine at their home so we took a dose to the city.Might not have been in costume, but we stick to our mission to make sure no one gets left behind especially not our seniors and disability community.Kylie Kelce / Jason Kelce, you’ve done a lot for our city…your next shot ๐Ÿ’‰ is on us! ๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿฝ‍โ™‚๏ธ

Pharmacies have not been able to process coupon cards on brand name medications due to ongoing processing issues with Change Healthcare/UnitedHealth Group.On my drive into the pharmacy this morning, I detoured & stopped by Cardiology Consultants of Philadelphia to pick up samples for a patient who has been without her medication.Ms. C is one of our homebound patients we serve & skipping doses of her blood thinner could cause further health issues, hospitalization, and even death.She lives on her own, has limited income, has no family or means of transportation, and relies on small providers like Skippack Pharmacy to offer additional support & deliver to her.Oftentimes, that support, doesn't come back to our pharmacy in the terms of profit but as a good deed.  In fact, each time we deliver this medication through her insurance/coupon, we lose money as the insurance does not reimburse us enough to cover the cost we purchase the drug from our wholesaler for.As providers, we are left with many choices.  Oftentime, the easier choice is just to pass the concern of the patient over to someone else.Today, I chose otherwise.  I stood up for my patient & made sure she got the medication she needed.  She, like many patients who support independent pharmacies, have ignored numerous letters/calls from their PBM (pharmacy benefit manager)/insurance who have tried their best to steer patients to a PBM-owned chain or mail order pharmacy.๐‘บ๐’‰๐’† ๐’„๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’† ๐’•๐’ ๐’”๐’–๐’‘๐’‘๐’๐’“๐’• ๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’๐’๐’„๐’‚๐’ ๐’‘๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’Ž๐’‚๐’„๐’š ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’•, ๐’˜๐’†'๐’๐’ ๐’Ž๐’๐’—๐’† ๐’Ž๐’๐’–๐’๐’•๐’‚๐’Š๐’๐’”.๐…๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐‚ ๐๐ž๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/cyberattack-change-healthcare-patients-struggle-get-medication-rcna141841#ChangeHealthcare #Cyberattack #Pharmacy #Healthcare #PBMReform[Repost from Dr. Mak’s LinkedIn]

I said tell her we’ll figure something out and call her.She’s an 85–year-old senior living by herself with no family, no grandkids, has limited/no income and has to decide if she’s going to take a blood thinner she needs to live or go without it because she can’t afford it.Like many seniors her insurance may tell her she needs to gets her meds through the mail or CVS but she chose Skippack Pharmacy from the day I opened and once that happens, we’re not leaving her hanging.I was in the office making calls to see if there was any programs to help her get the med for little to no cost and in the meantime I look up at the camera and see a local community member, Julie Martiello, at the front counter.Julie had won our Super Bowl challenge and guessed the closest score for $100. She came in to tell us that the $100 could be used to help someone in need.That $100 was put into our Superheroes fund (donation bin next to counter) which helps local patients like grandma who can’t afford life-critical medications.God has his ways of answering our call & helping people; even if its through angels like Julie. Thank you for leading the way…grandma will be getting her blood thinner!When you support local, it comes back to local 10-fold.#Thankful #LoveOurCommunity #OneFamilyReposted from Dr. Mak’s LinkedIn: http://tinyurl.com/CommunityGivesBack

The medical residents were able to provide wound care to people outside the Mercy House and other adequate treatment. A month ago American Pharmacists Association chapter president-elect, Christ, from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy had reached out to see if Skippack Pharmacy could help and without hesitation we said, yes.For the first time, through a collaboration, there was a vaccine station at this health promoter event helping those who may have not received these services otherwise.  Students like Joel & Prenin who administered the vaccines often learn things in the classroom setting but are reminded that there is nothing more rewarding than going out and helping someone who might not have received care otherwise.In the spirit of servitude, we look forward to continuing this collaboration on our mission to make sure “no one gets left behind.”#IndependentPharmacy #CommunityService #CollaborationReposted from Dr. Mak’s LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mayankamin_independentpharmacy-communityservice-collaboration-activity-7165713093438660608-hod8?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Amidst health challenges and the pandemic, pharmacists have been advisors, innovators, and caregivers. From filling healthcare gaps to navigating complex medication landscapes, pharmacists have answered the call to provide care for you and your families; however, have not been recognized as “providers” by your insurance company.While pharmacists don’t need the recognition, having provider status with the state Medicaid plan will now allow pharmacies to enable pharmacists to engage further with patients, identify gaps in care, provide clinical services, and perform at the top of their license while allowing pharmacies to keep their doors open.Through advocacy, today, we had a meeting in Harrisburg with leaders to discuss provider status, collaborate and work on pressing healthcare issues which our Commonwealth faces. Thank you, Sally Kozak, Terri Cathers, Dr. Valerie Arkoosh, and team from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services & Victoria Elliott & team from Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association / PPCN and many others who worked tirelessly to make this happen. It’s a step in the right direction that will trickle to more opportunities for our pharmacies to serve you. Together, we are stronger.#Pharmacists #ProviderStatus #Advocacy #Collaborate #BridgeTheGaps
