Pharmacies: Trust and Tradition Aren’t Enough — Your Margins Need a New Model
Let’s be real: the old pharmacy model is on life support, and your margins just took another hit.
COVID’s bump is over, and it’s not coming back.
I’ve visited third- and fourth-generation, community-rooted pharmacies; trusted landmarks, not just stores.
Here’s what I’ve seen up close:
Pharmacists are healthcare’s unsung heroes, putting patients before profits and even driving someone to the ER when no one else will. Pharmacists just care, plain and simple.
Think about the airplane rule: put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. If you do not shift your model, you will not be there to care for anyone.
Dispensing alone won’t sustain you. It’s time to embrace clinical care.
Medicare Drug Price Negotiations are squeezing margins and delaying reimbursements. Relying on fills is a race to the bottom, a clear red flag.
Pharmacies that are thriving did not wait for a bailout or new legislation. They moved first. They jumped to a new S-curve that rewards outcomes, not volume. They get paid for delivering care, not just pills.
Peer-reviewed studies here and here have shown that pharmacists who go beyond the fill, with patient education, therapy tweaks, and proactive follow-up, cut and sustain blood pressure gains, yet too many of these pilots fade without lasting support.
That is where Truentity Health comes in.
We built the infrastructure and our compliance-first platform turns your pharmacy into a clinical care hub, remote patient monitoring (RPM), chronic care management (CCM), and more, at scale. The clinical results speak:
- 11–15 mmHg systolic BP reductions
- 1.0–1.6 percent A1C drops
All reimbursed by Medicare and audit-ready day one.
States are finally recognizing pharmacists as care providers (for some interventions), but change is slow. Don’t wait on the system. Care is moving into communities, into homes, into your pharmacy.
You have the trust. Now build the services that turn trust into outcomes and outcomes into revenue.
Will you cling to volume and risk closure, or lead the shift into real clinical care and secure your future?
The market won’t wait. Move with clarity and conviction. Lead.
Take care of your business so you can keep taking care of everyone else.
We’ve partnered with pharmacies in multiple states to transform them into clinical care hubs.
