Why CPESN Supports Product Reimbursement
The Objective
The Opportunity: In Economic Terms to Medical Benefit
The Opportunity: In Economic Terms to Pharmacy Typical Referred Patient 10 Rx/Pt/Month Profit per Rx ~$10 How it Breaks Down ~100-300 pts/day/referred to NC CPESN $1200/pt/yr X 200 pts = $240,000 in annual net profit per day
we are worried about reductions in reimbursement rates to community pharmacies.we work with a few that are essential for our patients.with special needs and circumstances if they went out of business it would be really hard on the practice and the patients - Primary Care Physician (CCNC Practice)

Report on the Multi-State Pharmacy Collaborative (MSPC) Supporting the Development of Community Pharmacy Enhanced Services Networks (CPESN) Beyond North Carolina
Multi-State Pharmacy Collaborative (MSPC) Facilitate expansion of high-performing networks* Provide a venue to connect pharmacists and other pharmacy stakeholders who have interest in delivery of financially sustainable, patient-centered care beyond traditional dispensing services * High Performing Pharmacy Network to coalesce pharmacies based on the principle of providing value beyond selling drug product to effectuate health trajectory
Goals Provide Launch Support for CPESN Implementation Explore opportunities for collaboration between value purchasers and CPESNs Support development of Pharmacy Locator Application/Collaboration Site Develop communication strategy for Multi-State Pharmacy Collaborative (MSPC) engagement
The Big Picture Form a nationwide Network of Networks Increase, Develop and Sustain High Performing Networks of Pharmacies that provide enhanced services offerings Create Marketplace Presence of CPESN Networks Create Marketplace Dependency on CPESN Networks Facilitate local value propositions to other care team members to establish margin positive referral patterns Create care team dependency on clinical activities performed by community pharmacies to mitigate against risk narrow networking or reimbursement reductions on product distribution Establish Relationships and Reimbursement models with Medical Benefit side of payer infrastructure

Launching a CPESN Phase 1: Determining Interest Phase 2: Develop Network Framework Phase 3: Preparing to Launch
Step 1: Determining Interest Identification of potential participating pharmacies Webinar, Live Meeting, One-on-one discussion with targeted community pharmacists Potential luminaries Organize Voluntary Work Groups Collectively determine the posture of your CPESN Schedule live meeting for network decision making
CPESN Work Groups Service Sets Input on standard and optional services and how those are defined Input on the education and communication about services to providers/stakeholders (i.e. Pharmacy Locator App) Network Operations & Communications Establish, monitor and grow the CPESN Input regarding interactive processes and communications needed for collaboration with CPESN community pharmacies around the care of specific patients Identify funding & sustainability opportunities Quality Assurance & Performance Measurement Guidance about appropriate measures and measure definitions needed to monitor overall performance and quality of CPESN network
Step 2: Develop Network Framework Determine entity that will organize the CPESN Non-profit, For-profit entity, CCNC assistance Determine name of your CPESN Determine value proposition of your network Determine intent of pharmacy participation by Letter of Commitment or Participation Agreement
Step 3: Preparing to Launch Identify Network Administrator Survey participants to determine enhanced services offering(s) Finalize minimum participation criteria Outline required and optional service sets Inclusion criteria Engage Potential Partnerships (SOP(s), Vendors, etc.) Branding/Logo Development Establish deadline for Letter of Commitment/Participation Agreement
Work Group Kick Off Meeting Brainstorming session & reporting of work groups Define owners of work group Selection of 1 or more luminaries Determine strategy for next follow up

Summary of Network Launch Learnings Technology Platform- Documentation Tool A technology platform is not required to organize around a CPESN. While technology is an enabler of services and quality assurance and improvement, it is peripheral to the goals of establishing a CPESN. Identifying The Luminary One of the first steps for CPESN development is organizing around selfdetermined high performing pharmacies. In order to do this, you need one or more luminaries to bring other high performing pharmacies to participate. A luminary must be able to tell the story, communicate to other pharmacists why participation is important to be successful in the value-driven model. Identifying payment for services before CPESN development Do not wait for a value purchaser to approach you before starting the process of organizing a community pharmacy network. If you do, you will likely, experience a missed opportunity to work with a payer.
