Addressing common barriers in pharmacy
The disconnect between members and their benefits – especially those with chronic conditions, diabetes medication adherence challenges, lack of access to flu vaccine, and specialty drug affordability are just some of the issues creating inequity in healthcare. We’re working to remove barriers and disparities in healthcare for everyone we serve.
Our model advances health equity through five strategic focus areas:
- Address disparities in pharmacy access.
- Drive equity in medication adherence.
- Address specialty pharmaceutical costs.
- Enable multi-language support.
- Enable maternal and child health and drug safety.
