Making MTM Central to Clinical Strategy | Outcomes: Insights Beyond the Counter
In this episode, host Jon Grice takes a candid and timely look at the evolving role of Medication Therapy Management (MTM) in community pharmacy. Jon raises an important question: Are pharmacists missing a critical opportunity hiding in plain sight? He explores why MTM remains essential—not just for patient care, but for the financial sustainability of today’s pharmacies. He discusses the shifting landscape where dispensing margins have eroded, clinical services have become the new value driver, and yet emotional and historical frustrations with payers may be holding some pharmacists back from embracing what’s next. Drawing on conversations with industry leaders and his own lived experience as an independent pharmacist, Jon challenges listeners to re‑examine assumptions, recognize cognitive biases, and reconnect with the shared goals of insurers, pharmacies, and patients. Whether you're a chain pharmacist, an independent owner, or someone trying to understand the future of clinical care, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at where MTM stands—and where it needs to go next.

Community Link by GoodRx | TWIRx
Independent pharmacies are facing growing reimbursement uncertainty, especially when dispensing high-cost brand medications such as GLP-1 therapies. In this exclusive Pharmacy Podcast Network special feature, we examine how GoodRx Community Link provides independent pharmacies with predictable pricing and favorable economics across both brand and generic medications, ultimately helping pharmacies remain solvent while providing consumers affordable prescription prices. Todd Eury is joined by David Graziano, Head of Retail Network at GoodRx, and Tom DePietro, independent pharmacy owner at DePietro’s Pharmacy, for a practical discussion about the pressures affecting independent pharmacy and the need for reimbursement models that support pharmacy viability. The conversation explores how Community Link supports brand medications through manufacturer-funded savings that flow back to the pharmacy through GoodRx, while the manufacturer covers the administrative fee. For generic medications, the program uses a NADAC-based cost-plus model intended to provide clearer visibility into reimbursement. Listeners will also hear how independent pharmacies are impacted by rising deductibles, prior authorizations, narrow formularies, cash-pay growth, and increased competition. David and Tom discuss the importance of transparent pricing, digital engagement, streamlined fulfillment, personalized patient care, and sustainable economics for local pharmacies. Key discussion points include: The financial risk of dispensing high-cost brand medications like GLP-1s Predictable reimbursement for brands and generics The role of manufacturer-funded savings for brand medications NADAC-based cost-plus pricing for generics Pharmacy access to GLP-1 cash-pay programs Competing through service, technology, and patient relationships Protecting local healthcare access through independent pharmacy Explore how GoodRx Community Link can bring greater transparency and predictability to brand and generic dispensing, helping independent pharmacies serve patients sustainably and with confidence.

CMS’s Intent to Return the CMR Completion Rate to the Star Ratings Program | Outcomes: Insights Beyond the Counter
In this episode, host Ross Frey, Senior Product Manager and resident MTM/CMR strategist, sits down with Cindy Henry, Director of Payer Products at Outcomes, to unpack one of the biggest changes hitting Medicare Advantage plans: CMS’s intent to return the CMR completion rate to the Star Ratings program beginning in measure year 2027. Ross and Cindy explore how the industry reacted to the latest CMS Advance Notice, why the CMR measure’s return matters, and how MTM strategy has quietly shifted during its two‑year placement on the display page. Together, they outline the pressures plans are feeling—from shrinking margins to rising expectations around clinical quality—and the renewed focus on the value of medication therapy management, total cost of care, and local pharmacy engagement. A key topic throughout the episode is the impact of CMS’s expanded MTM eligibility criteria, which significantly increases denominators for 2025 and beyond. Cindy explains how this shift forces payers to rethink scale, budget, ROI, and operational models, while Ross shares Outcomes’ cut‑point predictions and how performance is likely to redistribute once the measure becomes active again. The conversation also highlights Outcomes’ strategy to support both health plans and community pharmacies as they prepare for 2027. Ross describes work underway to reduce documentation burden, streamline workflows, leverage new technology, and allow pharmacists to practice at the top of their license—ultimately helping MTM delivery scale without sacrificing quality. By the end of the episode, the message is clear: Plans that begin modeling, staffing, vendor alignment, and workflow modernization now will be best positioned when Star Ratings recalibrate in 2029.

Uplevel your Health with Brown's Gas with George Wiseman | The Holistic Pharmacy Podcast
I was blown away by my conversation with today’s guest, who discovered that without HEALTH you have nothing... He became a Jack Of All Trades and subsequently an inventor that has changed entire venues with his innovations. He has fully recovered his health thanks to one of his own inventions, and is now on a mission to help people optimize their health to enjoy living! George Wiseman is an inventor, engineer, and founder of Eagle-Research, best known for his decades of work developing Brown’s Gas technology for both energy and emerging wellness applications. Raised as a rancher’s son in a remote, off-grid environment, George learned early how to build, repair, and survive with limited resources, which influenced his lifelong commitment to practical and reliable innovation. After leaving the ranch in the late 1970s, he pursued a path in alternative energy and automotive systems, eventually specializing in fuel efficiency and combustion technologies. In the 1980s, he began developing Brown’s Gas systems that could significantly improve fuel economy and even replace traditional torch gases at a fraction of the cost. Over time, George’s work took an unexpected turn as customers began reporting potential health-related effects from the technology—something he initially dismissed. Years later, after personally experimenting with the applications and witnessing growing anecdotal results, he shifted his focus toward exploring its broader potential and developed his at-home device, AquaCure. This mission became deeply personal following the loss of his wife after a long battle with Lupus, which intensified his commitment to sharing what he had learned. Today, George is driven by a singular goal: to make his technology accessible to as many people as possible.
