President’s Viewpoint

Make You're Expertise Your Most Valuable Commodity

ctober is American Pharmacists Month and as I write this article we just finished another great marketing campaign to educate the public on the great works we are capable of as a profession. Every day we were reminded of all the wonderfully diverse tools pharmacists can provide to the health care team. From comprehensive medication reviews (CMR’s) to administering flu shots, pharmacists have tried desperately to jump off the prescription product ship to explore other options in the health care ocean. Associations like Illinois Pharmacists Association (IPhA), American Pharmacists Association (APhA), and National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) are continuously supplying the lifeboats needed to stay afloat, including continuing professional development opportunities, certificate training programs, diabetes coaching opportunities, and community pharmacy tool-kits for events like the National Brown Bag Day and National Drug Take Back Day. As a community pharmacist, it is difficult at times to remember there is more to pharmacy than filling script after script. But, we cannot continue down the lick-and-stick rabbit hole without combining a service to the product. Our profession, and the success of the business itself, relies on all those other lifeboats being filled and continuously navigating the rough waters. If you do not

complete your CMR’s you will be penalized thousands of dollars by pharmacy benefit manager (PBM). If you do not help your patients understand the nuances of Medicare Part D open enrollment, then you risk losing a large portion of your patient population to the competition, or worse yet, mail-order. Additionally, if you do not offer immunizations, then your patients will travel to your competitors for their flu shot, and you risk losing those patients forever. With the diminishing reimbursement rates and increasing DIR fees and “performance” penalties we face, the PBM monsters have tried their best to remove any allowance of time for these other activities, but we must find the time. The vast majority of pharmacies still operate under the product model and aim for high script volumes as a mark of success. However, without a fair playing field, the profits are going to trend closer and closer to zero like a single dose of gent in a kinetics equation. We must fight together to win back fair reimbursements, however we cannot rely on those reimbursements to be our sole source of revenue. As we continue our pressure on capitol hill to pass Provider Status, we must be prepared to support our claims that we can Provide the care we say we can. So, I dare you to jump in a different lifeboat and start rowing. Get out there, practice at

IPhA President Ben Calcaterra

the top of your profession and show your patients you are more valuable than the products on your shelf. Show them you are the expert and your expertise is worth something. Make your expertise your most valuable commodity. Thank you for a wonderful and exciting year as your President. It has been a proud and enlightening year. We accomplished a lot, both offensively and defensively, and have already regeared for the upcoming battles we face. I cannot stress enough the need for your help to recruit members to keep this amazing association live and thriving. I fear our non-members in the state have a false sense of security that someone will always step up and protect them from the next outrageous legislation that threatens the sanctity of our profession. Our elected Board and Staff are proud to take that charge and do so wonderfully and without nearly enough praise, but without more members we will not be here to continue that fight. Please ask a peer to join today. Unless we all want to work for Amazon tomorrow.

Executive Director’s Viewpoint

Illinois Pharmacists Association

Executive Director’s Viewpoint (continued) a controlled substance would be written. The bill would require pharmacists to obtain a signature to dispense a controlled substance if the patient has been identified by the PMP on a 3:3:1 (3 Pharmacies or 3 Prescribers in 1 Month) report. IPhA and ISMS (Med Society) worked with the sponsor to amend the bill to: Prescribers shall attempt to check the PMP and document when providing initial C-II opioids prescription. (Except for oncology, palliative care, 7-days or less supply.) The pharmacists responsibilities have been amended to that if a prescriber is send a 3:3:1 report than the pharmacy should also be sent a copy. (Bill in House Healthcare Licenses Committee) IPhA is still in opposition until all parties are in agreement. • SB2011 – would limit opioid prescriptions to a 7-day supply or less for any patient 18 years or younger. Initial prescription must be 7-days supply for 18 years or older. The bill would allow a pharmacist to partial dispense a C-II prescription (which is already allowed under law). (Held in Committee) IPhA is still in opposition until all parties are in agreement. • HB2392 – Sponsor(s): Rep. Mary Flowers (D-Chicago) | Status: Re-referred to (H) Rules Committee 04/28 ■ Amends the Pharmacy Practice Act. ■ Requires that at least one registered pharmacy technician be on duty whenever the practice of pharmacy is conducted. ■ Requires that pharmacies fill no more than 10 prescriptions per hour. ■ Requires 10 pharmacy technician hours per 100 prescriptions filled. ■ Prohibits pharmacies from requiring pharmacists to participate in advertising or soliciting activities that may jeopardize patient health, safety, or welfare. ■ Provides that a pharmacist shall receive specified break periods. ■ Requires pharmacies to maintain a record of any errors in the receiving, filling, or dispensing of prescriptions.

For the first time (or at least in a very long time), IPhA testified on a proposed ordinance that mirror HB2392. IPhA has been successful, thus far, in preventing passage of O2017-979. It is the Association belief that the City of Chicago would be in violation of the Illinois Pharmacy Practice Act in attempting to regulation Pharmacy. • O2017-979 – Sponsor: Ed Burke (14th Ward) | Status: Remains in Finance Committee ■ Requires that at least one registered pharmacy technician be on duty whenever the practice of pharmacy is conducted. ■ Requires that pharmacies fill no more than 10 prescriptions per hour. ■ Requires 10 pharmacy technician hours per 100 prescriptions filled. ■ Prohibits pharmacies from requiring pharmacists to participate in advertising or soliciting activities that may jeopardize patient health, safety, or welfare. ■ Provides that a pharmacist shall receive specified break periods. ■ Requires pharmacies to maintain a record of any errors in the receiving, filling, or dispensing of prescriptions. • Regulatory – Patient Counseling Rule | Effective 08/18/2017 | Enforcement 09/01/2017 Direct response to the Chicago Tribune Investigation (December 2016)

68 IAC 1330.30 (Unprofessional and Unethical Conduct) • Makes failure to respond to requests to provide patient counseling, attempts to circumvent the patient counseling requirements, or discouraging patients from receiving patient counseling as unprofessional and unethical conduct.

68 IAC 1330.700 (Patient Counseling) • Change to a): Patient counseling (verbal) shall be provided to the patient or patient's agent if any of the following: ■ New Patient ■ New Medication to an existing patient

ILLINOIS PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION • VOL. 80 - NO. 3 (3rd QTR 2017)

■ Medication that has a Change in the Dose, Strength, Route of Administration, or Directions for Use • Offer to counseling shall be made on all other prescriptions (refills, etc) • Required Signage to be placed in the Pharmacy • On-site and off-site institutional pharmacies are not required to provide patient counseling unless "drugs are dispensed by the pharmacy upon a patient's discharge from the institution." • "Nothing in this Section shall be construed as requiring a pharmacist to provide counseling when a patient or patient's agent refuses such counseling.”

IPhA continues to work with IDPH, CSU, SIUE, and UIC on HJR139 (99th GA) to encourage IDPH to institute a study with the state-sponsored pharmacy schools to examine the barriers of transitions of care and improve the interprofessional communication and e-prescribing use. IPhA legislative priority items: • HB3833 to add pharmacy and pharmacist-provided services to various insurance acts, as a component of IPhA pharmacist provider status strategy. • HB2957/SB1844 to add PBM audit protection conditions. ■ IPhA is fortunate to continue to partner with Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) in lobbying support to move PBM legislation. ■ IPhA and IPC will be meeting with PCMA representatives concerning SB1844. • SB1888/HB3479 to amend the public code to establish a fair and reasonable reimbursement rate to pharmacy providers for pharmaceutical services, prescription drugs and drug products, and pharmacy or pharmacist-provided services. Reimbursement rate should be at least equal to FFS Medicaid. ■ IPhA had meetings with Medicaid to discuss utilizing pharmacists in medication optimization programs. Also, discussing the new CMS Covered Outpatient Drug rule, which goes into effect 04/01/2017.

■ IPhA and other pharmacy stakeholders have held and continue to hold meetings DHS concerning the implementation of the CMS AMP rule and the proposed expansion of Managed Medicaid.

IPhA continues to work with our partners Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists (ICHP) and Illinois Retail Merchants Association (IRMA) to maintain a strong and collective message for pharmacy and patient care. IPhA and IRMA through Pharmacy Choice and Access Now (PCAN) have continued to inform legislators and the public on issues of immunization expansion of scope, Medicaid cuts, and pseudoephedrine regulation. IPhA continues to work with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to develop Administrative Code changes concerning compounding pharmacy practice and other updates due to recent legislation. IPhA continues to communicate and work with the Governor’s office and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services on professional dispensing fee, managed

ILLINOIS PHARMACISTS ASSOCIATION • VOL. 80 - NO. 3 (3rd QTR 2017)

Executive Director’s Viewpoint (continued) Medicaid reimbursement, and proposing changes to enhance Medicaid (including pharmacist care services).

Membership and Building Partnerships Building new IPhA membership continues to be a challenge as we meet the growing needs of potential members. There are over 19,000 pharmacists licensed in the State. IPhA continues to develop new membership benefits and recruitment & retention strategies. IPhA is participating in a pilot program offering a joint membership with APhA and IPhA to enhance both organizations. Membership continues to be the primary priority of IPhA; so IPhA may represent the pharmacists, student pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians of the State and advance the practice of pharmacy. The efforts of the Membership Committee need to be applauded. They are thinking outside the box and everything is on the table. Membership is at an improved pace to this time last year and that is solely to the determination and dedication of the Membership Committee and trying new ideas. IPhA is proud to continue have HD Smith as a major Corporate Partner. Thank you to HD Smith for their support and dedication to the advancement of Illinois Pharmacy. IPhA has developed a Corporate Advisory Board and is working to add potential partners for our Corporate Partnership Program (CPP). The CPP will assist IPhA in strengthening our vital relationships with our Corporate Partners. Our Corporate Partners bring support and direction to the Association and assisting IPhA in accomplishing our Mission and Goals.

Patient Self-Management Program (PSMP) The PSMP continues to provide pharmacist delivered patient-centered care with our existing employer clients. We have continued to expand our network into 22 states to best support the education and wellness needs of our clients. PSMP is poised to evolve with our current clients and will required additional support, advice, and strategic guidance from the Board of Directors to allow PSMP to meet our evolving needs. PSMP and the Illinois Pharmacists Network are poised to evolve into the development of a high performance pharmacy network. 10

Illinois Community Pharmacy Enhanced Network (I-CPEN) IPhA continues to innovate and push the barriers of patient care. In May 2017, we saw the creation of the Illinois Community Pharmacy Enhanced Network (I-CPEN).

Purpose and Goals: • Develop, implement, maintain, and expand a network of community pharmacies. • Provide quality, enhanced services to improve patients’ clinical outcomes and optimize utilization of healthcare resources. • Work collaboratively with health care providers, health systems, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), payers and pharmaceutical industry via a single contracting entity to document and achieve improved health outcomes. • Currently 0 contracted pharmacies, goal of 75 pharmacies by 2020.

Mission Statement: I-CPEN will improve the health of Illinois patients by collaborating with other health care providers and patients to achieve therapeutic outcomes with safe, effective, evidence-based medication management.

Vision Statement: I-CPEN is a network of community-focused pharmacies that provide an elevated set of pharmaceutical care services to patients in their communities. The services provided by I-CPEN pharmacists will improve patients’ overall well-being and advance the profession of pharmacy while providing documented value and reducing healthcare costs for patients and our health care system. The newly created and formed Board of Director have just met in August 2017 and IPhA looks forward to assisting them in any way to Advance Patient Care through Access to Pharmacists. I especially would like to thank Harry Zollars, Region 7 Director and Chair of the I-CPEN Board of Directors for all of his time, effort, and support in making I-CPEN a reality.

IPhA Foundation IPhA continues to work the IPhA Foundation in development of new patient-centered care programs, student pharmacist support, the Student Pharmacist Summer Internship Program in Association Management, and to develop an Executive Residency/Fellowship in Association Management. IPhA Foundation is working in the development of new Certificate Training Programs to advance pharmacist’s knowledge, skills, and assessment in disease management.

Education IPhA filed our one year interim report, requested from ACPE and IPhA is successfully meeting the 12 CPE Standards and our accreditation continues until 2020. IPhA is accredited to provide CPE for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. IPhA is examining how best to implement continuous professional development (CPD) into our CPE programming and interprofessional CE accreditation.

IPhA and faculty from SIUE developed and introduced in 2016 the Illinois State Opioid Antagonist Training Program. This program is to meeting the requirements of HB1 (PA 99-0480) concerning pharmacists dispensing opioid antagonists (naloxone). The program is a 1.75 hour CPE activity and designed as an online/on-demand webinar education program. The ISOATP is the only program to be approved by DFPR, DHS, and DPH (other programs have since been approved, but only by DHS). The authors are currently revising and working on Version 2.0. In 2017, IPhA has expanded the ISOATP to student pharmacists and in discussions with multiple states on the expansion of the program. ISOATP has trained and prepared over 600 pharmacists and student pharmacists to assist their communities in combat prescription and heroin abuse.

I would like to thank Erica, Kim, Sandra, and Starlin for all of their hard work and focused dedication to advancing the Mission and Goals of IPhA and service to our Members.

From The Editor

It’s All About

THE BENJAMINS

IPhA Editor

Jeffery Ellis, RPh 1. M edicine is so expensive because of insurance. Insurance doesn’t drive up the

price directly, it allows and encourages expensive medication because it conceals the actual price of it. Time and time again patients call and ask the price of the medication. When I give it, they freak out and say something like “It was only $20 last time!” So they did not want the cost, they wanted their cost (the copay). Understandable, but inaccurate. Patients need to know the cost of their medication. When the PBMs balk at paying for Lyrica, it is more understandable to the patients if they know the price differential between gabapentin and Lyrica. If the patients were paying cash for Lyrica, they would change their behavior they exact same way the insurances are attempting to do. Copays are really behavior modifiers. It explains a lot if you think of it that way. A method of solving the medication expense problem is to have the patients pay for it up front and get reimbursed (shades of my childhood!) The costs of the medication would then not be hidden and the market would be more like an actual market. $1000 for 100 Vyvanse would not fly if patients realized the price of Methylphenidate, unless the benefits could be proven. Sounds a lot like “prior approval”.

2. If I were younger, I would seriously consider opening a “pet pharmacy”. People are insane. Really. I have actually seen them not blink an eye at paying $150 for medication for their dog (cat, parrot, etc.) while driving away rather than pay $20 for antibiotics for the children. I know it is not that simple, but the money in pharmacy is from cash prescriptions, not insurance reimbursement. There is just no future in PBM reimbursement.

3. Flu shots. There are lessons to be learned here.

First, it is a lot easier and faster to get a shot at the pharmacy than at the doctor’s office. And most doctors don’t want to be bothered with them (think about that! Pharmacies feel the profit martin for flu shots are fantastic and doctors feel it is not worth the effort). Second, the vast majority of the patients actually getting the flu shot pay zero dollars. 100% paid for by insurance, Medicare, etc. It seems if the patient has to pay $32 for a flu shot, they will risk it. It is not the whole picture, but it is a big part of it. One of my patients nailed it yesterday. She offered the opinion that Medicare has realized it cost more to treat flu in their patients than it costs to make the shots free.

It’s all about the Benjamins. Jeff Ellis
