Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation

APhA and other stakeholders are working to secure opportunities for pharmacists that were created with the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Some initiatives to be supported by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation were announced November 16. Most of the dollars allocated will go to integrating and coordinating care. We understand from our sources that there will be opportunities for pharmacists in the health home and medical home concepts. There will also be a great opportunity to work with states that will be eligible for grants to design care coordination programs for dually eligible (Medicaid and Medicare) patients.
