The New York Times is right. PBMs hurt pharmacies—and that includes #LTC pharmacies and the 2 million patients they serve in long-term care every day. Congress must address the unique needs of LTC pharmacies and patients as they consider much-needed #PBMreform. https://lnkd.in/dsBgCtVe

A strong, unified and influential advocate for independent long-term care pharmacies.
About us
Established in 2014, the Senior Care Pharmacy Coalition (SCPC) is a non-profit advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C. dedicated to representing the exclusive legislative and regulatory interests of independent long-term care (LTC) pharmacies and the vulnerable patients they serve, an increasing number of which are rehabilitation-oriented. SCPC members maintain operations in all states, serve approximately 850,000 patients daily. No other organization in Washington focuses solely on the public policy priorities unique to this increasingly dynamic LTC pharmacy sector. LTC pharmacy is rapidly expanding its valuable services beyond traditional institutional settings to assisted living facilities (ALFs), and other residential and community-based environments. Our collective mission is to ensure federal lawmakers, regulators, and the broader health care community gain a deeper understanding of LTC pharmacies’ unique value proposition, and how they are part of the solution to meeting the staggering demographic, fiscal and health policy challenges facing America. Consequently, SCPC is committed to pursuing positive, bipartisan, data-driven policy solutions aimed at protecting patients, improving the quality of health care across a shifting care continuum, and addressing disparities in care that currently exist. SCPC seeks to strengthen the economic viability of the independent LTC pharmacy sector and its ongoing ability to serve a vulnerable population and affect vital national health policy objectives.

We commend The New York Times for continuing to shed light on harmful PBM practices impacting the entire pharmacy community. However, lawmakers & media must also consider the specific and far more detrimental impacts PBMs have on #LTC pharmacies and the 2 million patients in long-term care nationwide. https://lnkd.in/dsBgCtVe

#ICYMI Long-term care pharmacies that serve patients in nursing homes & assisted living facilities rely heavily on revenue from brand-name drugs to survive. This includes 8 of the 10 Rx medications in the first round of #Medicare #Part D negotiations. Thanks for the critical coverage, Healthcare Brew https://lnkd.in/g_8Vwrxm
