AMERICAN pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts has announced a new 12-month trial of a "performance-based pharmacy network".
The pilot will examine the impact of rewarding pharmacies that fill prescriptions for Express Scripts members and demonstrate a positive improvement on medication adherence for chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, cholesterol & hypertension.
Participating pharmacies will be able to track their own performance via a web portal, with participating sponsors such as employers and health plans able to select the therapy classes where they would like to see an improvement in adherence.
Pharmacies will compete against each other in the network pilot, with Express Scripts spokesperson Amy Bricker saying "pharmacists are one of the most trusted of all healthcare professionals and their frequent interactions with our members present enormous opportunities to positively impact patient health".
