Impact of a pharmacy care management service on cardiometabolic medication adherence and resource use for Medicare Advantage beneficiaries
Compared with well-matched controls, PCM patients with cardiometabolic disease had significantly higher rates of medication adherence and significantly lower hospitalization rates during the 12-month follow-up period. This effect was greatest in patients nonadherent at baseline. Our results provide insights into how PCM programs achieve their benefits and underscore the value of targeting the PCM program to high-risk individuals.
