About us

The IPhA Patient Self Management Program (PSMP) is program which helps employees successfully manage chronic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, by using community pharmacists for patient counseling. Key Components: -People with chronic diseases are enrolled, and receive personalized coaching from IPhA qualified pharmacists to monitor their progress in achieving health and lifestyle goals. -Patients have their co-pays for medications related to their chronic condition and supplies (if applicable) waived as an incentive for active program participation. -Employers promote the IPhA PSMP program to eligible participants, provide compensation to pharmacy providers, and pay quarterly fees to IPhA PSMP Program Outcomes: -IPhA-PSMP is modelled after the HealthMap Rx progrma which has been shown to reduce direct healthcare costs. -There are average annual savings of $918 per patient for Diabetes, through fewer hospitalizations and emergency room visits. -Participants lower these costly events because of better daily management of this chronic condition, including adherence to medication, and accomplishing clinical and lifestyle goals.
