Pharmacist-Led Adherence Support

Medication adherence support for Medicaid members.

A licensed pharmacist works one-on-one with each member, delivers their medications, checks in every week, and tracks the two biometrics that drive most chronic disease — blood pressure and blood sugar.

The Problem

Between visits, no one is managing the medications.

For high-risk Medicaid members with chronic conditions, the gap between doctor visits is where things fall apart — one missed medication at a time, until it becomes a hospital bill.

Can’t get there

No transportation to the pharmacy, so refills go missed.

Doses missed

Forgotten doses with no reminders in the weeks between visits.

Too confusing

Complex regimens and low health literacy lead to unsafe use.

Plans fly blind

No visibility between claims — until the hospital bill arrives.

How It Works · The Patient Experience

Four simple steps, every month.

Here’s exactly what a member experiences: a pharmacist calls, they talk through their biometric readings, text check-ins keep them on track between calls, and their medications arrive at the door — all it takes is a phone.

The Call

A pharmacist calls every month

The same licensed pharmacist calls each member every month to review their medications, answer questions, and check in on how they’re doing — a real person they get to know.

The Readings

They discuss their biometric readings

On the call, the pharmacist walks through the member’s blood pressure and blood glucose readings together — explaining what the numbers mean and whether their conditions are under control.

The Check-ins

Weekly check-ins between calls

Every week between monthly calls, simple text messages remind the member to take their medications and ask for their latest blood pressure and blood sugar — a quick reply is all it takes, so nothing slips through the cracks.

The Delivery

Medications delivered to their door

Prescriptions are filled and delivered right to the member’s home — no trip to the pharmacy, no missed refills. The transportation barrier that causes so many missed doses simply disappears.

DELIVERED ✓ 3 medications, to the door
For the member, all it takes is a phone — no app, no portal, no login. Every reading feeds a live dashboard the health plan can see.

Scope of Service

Whole-person support in every pharmacist visit.

Each monthly encounter goes beyond the prescription — addressing the clinical, behavioral, and social barriers that keep Medicaid members from staying adherent and healthy.

Medication reconciliation & education

A full review of every medication, plain-language counseling, and tailored education so members understand what they take and why.

Refill coordination & home delivery

Proactive outreach to prevent gaps in therapy, with prescriptions filled and delivered free to the member’s door.

Physical & behavioral health monitoring

Ongoing assessment of clinical and behavioral health status, tracking response to therapy and flagging issues early.

Non-emergency transportation

Coordination of NEMT so members can reach appointments — reducing the missed visits that drive avoidable costs.

PCP & specialist coordination

Scheduling and closed-loop follow-through with the member’s care team, so nothing falls between providers.

Coverage navigation

Hands-on help with Medicaid and Medicare access challenges, so cost and paperwork never stand between a member and their medication.

We close the gaps you’re accountable for.

  • Address medication-adherence HEDIS gaps

    Monthly pharmacist contact and delivered refills move the adherence measures tied to your quality scores.

  • Reduce avoidable ER visits & readmissions

  • Reach the hard-to-engage

    A phone-only, low-tech model works for members that apps and portals leave behind.

  • No lift for your team

    Refer a member and we handle counseling, filling, delivery, and follow-up — purpose-built for the Medicaid population.
