Today, I'll walk you through how to Google or online search your way to brand and specialty drug copay coupons. Note: these are not coupons like GoodRx or SingleCare - these are coupons specifically to help you get the cost of your copay down on your commercial healthcare plans through your employer. These are a good way to save if you're on brand or specialty drugs and have high copays or coinsurance.

Anybody love a good bulk buy? Me too!

Today's tip - buy those maintenance drugs in bulk! Think beyond the 30, even 90-day fill if you can.

Note that not every state allows longer that 90 day prescriptions - please keep that in mind when asking your pharmacist if you may buy in bulk! Also, some products can only be purchased at a smaller quantity due to safety or Risk Evaluation & Mitigation Strategies (REMS) programs.

Hello my lovelies! Here's one of my all-time favorite tips for the Hunt for Happiness Week this week - GREAT BOOKS to read!

  1. You have to use Google Chrome for this tip and use Amazon.com.

  2. If you use Chrome, download the Library Extension in Google Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/library-extension/chkgcmmjoejpekoegkedcpifgfhpjmec

  3. Once you download it - go into it and put your local libraries.

  4. Then search for new books to read on Amazon - the library extension should pop up on each book's page with where you can get it - WITH YOUR LIBRARY CARD, for free! Yippie!

  5. Note that it also appears to work in Goodreads, B&N and Google Books too.

Recently, I pulled out my pharmacist social media influencers list and did an analysis of the top 50 male and female pharmacists to see how the growth was going at LinkedIn for each of them.

If you're not in pharmacy - you're probably asking, "What is a PBM?"

It's called a pharmacy benefit manager.

If you're in pharmacy - you're probably thinking, "This podcast title does not compute."

Actually, a PBM can get close to perfection - some are better than others. While there is no perfection, today, I'm going to lay out some of the "ideal" PBM characteristics and operations.

They all go back to a blog post I wrote recently over at Apex Benefits: https://apexbg.com/the-perfect-pbm-does-it-exist/.

The N of 1 miniseries continues, where we explore pharmacists that roll solo at work!

Today, we chat with Dr. Priyal Popat, a second-generation pharmacist, but first generation in her family in the US.

Her bio: As a research pharmacist, Priyal Popat strives to ensure a high level of care and accuracy to patients enrolled in clinical trials. After she graduated with her Doctor of Pharmacy in the US, she joined Orlando Immunology Center as the pharmacist for the covid-19 vaccine trials; Some of her responsibilities include implementing protocols from sponsors according to state and federal regulations, Investigational Product (IP) preparation and maintaining IP accountability. In 2013 Priyal attained her Bachelor of Pharmacy in South Africa where she was born and raised. Her decision to pursue a career in pharmacy was influenced by her mother who is a pharmacist and an independent pharmacy owner. One of the things she found most appealing about pharmacy was the many different career paths you can take as a pharmacist. Before relocating to the US in 2017 she gained experience as a clinical pharmacist in rural parts of South Africa and spent 3 years as a community pharmacist. She believes that the best and fastest way to progress is to embrace opportunities that come your way and to always be learning, especially from your mistakes.

Most pharmacists are surrounded by other pharmacists during their education - but what about the working world?

In this new miniseries, we explore being the ONLY pharmacist, particularly in a nontraditional pharmacy setting.

Our first guest and N of one pharmacist is Dr. Jason Kwan.

Jason Kwan has a dual bachelor’s degree in finance and molecular biosciences/biotechnology. He earned my PharmD at the University of Arizona. Throughout undergraduate and graduate school, Jason pursued entrepreneurship training and created his own startup, LinkX. He also completed a managed care residency at Aetna Medicaid, gaining full competency in prior authorizations, formulary management, clinical quality, clinical outreach programs, and shadowing the pharmacy directors and executive director. He proposed a blockchain project on medication adherence and our team was runner up in the company-wide competition for innovative ideas.

Jason's current role is as the population health pharmacist at Arizona Care Network. He analyzes the population data and develops clinical programs centered around specific disease states.  

The Lean Startup was a book Jason recommends: https://amzn.to/2YuCDTM

Once upon a time, before I went to law school (but after pharmacy school) I researched and wrote a book about Life Science Lawyers: https://amzn.to/2LK76dP. That was now over a decade ago - so I thought it was time for a follow-up and check-in with some of the healthcare lawyers in the book!

Today, we kick this series off with a pharmacy law rockstar - Prof. Joseph Fink III of the University of Kentucky:

Prof. Fink's bio: https://pharmacy.uky.edu/people/joseph-fink#:~:text=Joseph%20L%20Fink%20III%20is,of%20Leadership%20at%20the%20University.&text=He%20has%20served%20the%20University,roles%20under%20five%20UK%20presidents.

Also - here's a new article on the intersection of pharmacy and law for careers at GoodRx: https://www.goodrx.com/blog/dual-degree-in-pharmacy-and-law/

Last - here's more on ASPL or the American Society for Pharmacy Law: www.aspl.org.

This one is a stumper. 🤔

We review a real world case of autoshipment of prescription drugs - WITHOUT a documented prescription (cart before the horse)? And what federal legal requirements that seem to be missing here.

Article in the NY Times about this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/24/health/Covid-flu-elderly-Medicare.html (And anyone else notice the timing of this around enrollment for 2021?)

GoodRx cash price of Tamiflu: "average retail price of $105.94." https://www.goodrx.com/tamiflu

Obra '90 overview: http://rx-wiki.org/index.php?title=Omnibus_Budget_Reconciliation_Act_of_1990

Here's why I am stumped: If this provider of Medicare supplements can just skip over the providers and OBRA 90 regulations, what OTHER Rx drugs will they be autoshipping millions of dollars' worth in the future?

What is prior authorization, and can you niche in it?

Why...yes you can! In fact, we have special guest Dr. Amanda DeMarzo on The Edutainer today to discuss more about a new certification for a wide range of professionals - the PACS.

Amanda DeMarzo, Pharm.D., M.B.A, PACS is the Associate Director of Patient Access, ACMA. She works with the National Board of Prior Authorization Specialists (NBPAS) to revolutionize the industry and set the standard of excellence in the field of reimbursement with the Prior Authorization Certified Specialist (PACS) certification. Trained as a pharmacist with years of patient-facing healthcare experience, Amanda has always had a passion for patient care and ensuring patient access. When she isn't advocating for patients, she can be found upcycling furniture or participating on the Wroxton Advisory Committee for where she studied abroad in England.

National Board of Prior Authorization Specialists (NBPAS) - an affiliate of Accreditation Council for Medical Affairs (ACMA): https://www.priorauthtraining.org/

BONUS: if you want to know more about the world of prior authorization - head on over to The Point podcast with Apex Benefits tomorrow, Friday June 19th, for my bonus conversation with Amanda! She will talk more broadly about what a PA is, and who all is involved!

Last, and certainly not least, my heart goes out to the Floyd family, and to all victims of police/racial discrimination and brutality everywhere. Our country is angry and hurting right now, and I am very, very heartbroken over this. There are no words.

Self confession: I'm a social media nerd : )

As a founder of Social Media Dames, I've always been fascinated about how healthcare professionals and pharmacists can utilize SM to improve healthcare.

This weekend, our crack team started an analysis of the top 50 pharmacists in our network's key search terms and today, we share some that fell into the top 10. If you want to see more of this data and you're a pharmacist or pharmacy technician, head on over to LinkedIn and join us on the Pharmacy MTMS group for more stats! https://www.linkedin.com/groups/761417/

Have a great week and stay safe out there!

When you have a one time woman veteran in the era when women really didn't go to the military, that's a special strong woman on your hands. But when she does it TWICE?!? That's a fierce woman--one who knows and appreciates other fierce women! Nelva Nielsen is our special guest today on the podcast. She discusses growing up in tough times, and wraps up her interview with equally strong and sage advice for us during THESE tough times. Give a listen to my conversation with her. And to all who have served - especially the women veterans - THANK YOU for your service!

Let's jump on a plane and talk to the peeps in charge when something goes haywire, shall we?

I love Moni Sengupta's story about heading to Boston to see the premier of Sanditon here in the states. I think Jane would have been proud of her!

Here's her bio:

Moni is a Washington DC lawyer, wife, and mom of three teenagers. She is a huge Jane Austen fan. She's lived in DC for nearly 30 years and is originally from a suburb of Boston. And, she is a dual US and UK citizen, however, so part of her Jane Austen affinity comes from that! She's on Twitter at: @moshimisen.

Listen in to hear what she did to share how to keep the story alive for a #SanditonSeason2!

_

CAUTION: there are many spoilers in this miniseries from Season 1 of Sanditon, which was a recent PBS/Masterpiece and ITV/Red Planet miniseries production which happened in early 2019.. If you have not yet seen the miniseries, you may not want to listen to this podcast miniseries until you do so.

You may find the series online at the following sites:

PBS Masterpiece: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/sanditon/ (you can purchase the passport and binge to your heart's delight). Or, you can stream it through Amazon: https://amzn.to/2VSMymb.

Next, after your heart is broken (like ours), 💔you'll want to join the crusade online to get a 2nd season of Sanditon D-O-N-E! Here's where you can follow, watch, and get involved:

Who BETTER to interview for the Jane Austen/Save Sanditon podcast miniseries than someone...in television?!? Yay!

Simone Snow is a Hollywood Executive Assistant by day, and a screenwriter by night (and weekends). She majored in Creative Writing at Knox College, and she earned an MFA in Screenwriting at the University of Southern California. She's worked as support staff on television shows, at production companies, and currently at a major Hollywood studio. Her ultimate goal is to write for dramatic television, depicting and promoting diversity for women and people of color to see themselves as heroes and leading characters—not just sidekicks—on screen. With nearly a decade of industry experience under her belt, Simone knows her chosen career path is going to be an uphill battle. However, it's one she's eager to help fight.

Simone is over at Twitter: https://twitter.com/SimoneSnow

Our Women's History Month celebration of Jane Austen continues!

Today's chat is with a woman who I so admire - she created HER VERY OWN HAPPILY EVER AFTER ENDING of Sanditon after watching season 1! Tune in to hear more about how she became active in the Sanditon Sisterhood, and more important - where you can read HER adapted happily ever after endings for Sanditon, even if we never get them on TV or the Big Screen!

Angie's bio: Angie Stenning began her career in a variety of administrative roles in early 1990’s and went on to join the U.K. Civil Service in 1997. During her Civil Service career, spanning over twenty years, Angie has fulfilled a variety of managerial roles and is currently employed as an Information Manager.

Angie began writing after the loss of her mother to cancer, and wrote her first published poem at the age of 11. She continued to write poetry throughout her teen’s and twenty’s and a number have been published in anthologies. After taking an extended break from writing, Angie only started writing again during the 2019 ITV televised Jane Austen drama, Sanditon. Since then, Angie has returned to writing poetry, but has found a new love for prose. Her first fan fiction Return to Sanditon was published to Archive of Our Own (AO3) and Wattpad in November 2019 and has been read over 30,000 times. She continues her story with two further Return to Sanditon Novella’s (Crowe & Edward’s stories). In January this year, Angie was accepted onto the Romantic Novelists Association (RNA) New Writers Scheme and is currently writing her first full length novel set in the regency period.

Angie works full time, is studying for a Charters Managers Degree and is mum to two boys, two dogs and two ponies and lives in rural North Dorset on the south coast of England.

Where to Read Angie's endings:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that we love Jane Austen! Why not tie that up with Women's History Month AND a newer movement on and through social media to Save Sanditon, Jane's last work, for a season 2 to be produced from the recent adaptation that ended TRAGICALLY on PBS/Masterpiece!

Chad Priest is a fascinating healthcare professional. He currently serves as the head of the Indiana Red Cross, and soon to be expanding into the Midwest Red Cross. He also professionally is trained as an EMT, Nurse, and Attorney. His area of specialty is disaster preparation and relief.

Chad was kind enough to speaking in my Nontraditional Healthcare Professional Elective this fall, and now in turn has invited me to speak at the red cross about one of my pet peeves - on meetings! LOL. Give a listen to my conversation with Chad for a different set of ideas on healthcare career development - and if you can, help out at your own local red cross, wherever in the world that is or happens to be!

Happy Friday!

As promised, here is my post rotation conversation with Ms. Helen Weinberg, who just spent the last 4 weeks with me at ASCP and Butler University COPHS to go through a non-patient care association management and education rotation!

Here's where you can find the ASCP APPE application now available through 12/15/19 for the 2020/21 academic year: www.ascp.com/APPE

I don't mean to scare you, but the new decade is marching towards us quickly....have you thought about your social media and expertise strategy for the new decade? Seriously - what do you want to be known for? What's your go-to topic?

October is facing us with its 4Q-ness next week! 🍁😳

Here's my little world:

1. Mentorpalooza I at Butler University COPHS last night was off the chain! Thanks so much to the mentors who came from as far away as Minnesota, Fishers, Carmel and North Carolina to be with us! Shoutout to the students who showed up and did their homework with great questions! I'm sure I'll post some social media pics soon. #GoDawgs! 🐶

2. Video interviewing - is this something we need to teach? 🎥

  1. On Inside Indiana Business with Gerry Dick this weekend - looking forward to it! 📺

4. Hurry pharmacists and members of ASCP - Time is running out to register for our FREE CPE/BCGP October webinar in honor of Senior care pharmacists week AND American Pharmacists Month! This one is already crazy full of registrants on 10/8 at 1 pm ET! If you miss it, homestudy will be out 11/1. P.S. it's on osteoporosis. 🥛

5. Speaking of hurrying - Our 50th Anniversary Annual Meeting- hurry on a hotel! You've got 7 days left for the hotel room! 🏨

  1. Last - can you do me a favor - and fill out our pharmacist continuing education needs assessment for 2020, so we can help you level up on your education in 2020? THANKS!!! 💊

Asked to give a talk about this 1Q20 on this topic this week...so thought I'd start putting some of my pet peeves and rants down here. CAUTION: I HAVE VERY STRONG OPINIONS (and a lot of pet peeves) when it comes to effectively running meetings.

Give a listen, and yes - I have a tone here - but it's only because I'm sensitive to your time, and I want everyone, myself included - to run some great, efficient meetings out there! Friends don't let friends run crappy, inefficient meetings that could have been an email. 🙌

And, in true form, here's my tips in an agenda written format for you on this episode!

Tips on Running a Solid, Productive Meeting:

  1. Does this REALLY need to be a meeting? Ask yourself if you REALLY need to even have a meeting in the first place.

  2. Who REALLY needs to be in the room?

  3. Agenda with appt - Send out a written detailed agenda WITH the calendar appointment - and better yet, include data and questions for people to bring to the meeting.

  4. Send out prep and background work before the meeting for people to review (Jeff Bezos is a fan of this.)

  5. START and END the meeting ON TIME. Seriously - honor those who show up on time. Think of it this way - every minute you start late or end late, you could be robbing someone of their next genius idea, creative new thing, or amazing SOMETHING ELSE they could be doing instead of WAITING for YOUR MEETING.

  6. If you're leading the meeting - have someone take notes real time.

  7. If you're also leading the meeting - take the squawkers offline and into the parking lot. Democratize all ideas around the room and give people equal airtime - including your introverts who have some of the best ideas but who will never share unless pointedly asked.

  8. Ditto with derailing minutiae - parking lot that stuff!

  9. Recap the last 5 minutes with action items.

  10. Note taker should send out the notes immediately after the meeting with action items.

There you go.

The American Society of Pharmacovigilance (www.stopADR.org) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. ASP is a national biomedical and health care network with membership open to all health care professionals. Our mission is to rapidly and dramatically reduce the high rate of suffering and mortality due to adverse drug events in the US. We represent the unity of different areas of expertise coming together to have a bigger impact on addressing the fourth leading cause of death in the US.

Bio: Sara Rogers, PharmD, BCPS, is a pharmacist, researcher and nonprofit director. As a proponent of personalized medicine and preventing harm from medication use, she co-founded the American Society of Pharmacovigilance in 2018. Since there is a strong genetic component in the way that patients respond to medications, she has taken an active role in addressing barriers to widespread implementation of pharmacogenomics. Dr. Rogers is a member of the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium, Chairman of the Pharmacogenomics Access and Reimbursement Coalition, and an organizational member of the NIH National Human Genomics Research Institute (NHGRI) Inter-Society Coordinating Committee. She hopes these efforts will lead to improved health outcomes for patients across the US, regardless of socioeconomic status.

Attention shoppers: it's officially the END of summer and August. And this episode has a little bit o' everything...JUST FOR YOU! :D 

It covers a LOT of info in 15 min or less:

1. BESCPC is ongoing at ASCP - but you might want to hurry and sign up if you're on the fence. We're running out of room for the inaugural class.

2. Burnout - episode 5 - comes from the book, Superbosses today - give a listen to find out if you have a Glorious B*stard Superboss, or just a soul-sucking mediocre boss who's going to burn you out - with 3 simple questions.

3. And...a QOTW! Should I take a new job offer if the company has bad ratings? I actually think that's a question on the right track, but there's better questions to ask yourself here...tune in to hear those.

Everyone have a FANTASTICAL end of summer Labor Day Holiday!!!!

Hello...it's me.

Back to the burnout! And sorry - ONE MORE Debbie Downer episode on the (abysmal) stats behind burnout before we can get to the REMEDIES!

Listen in to the stats on burnout, just in case you haven't heard the memo that #burnout is at epidemic rates in the US - particularly in healthcare providers.

We'll get over to the remedies soon - but the first step in solving any problem is to DEFINE and RECOGNIZE it! 🙌

I promise I'll get back to the burnout miniseries soon....but...

I wanted to talk about my fellow misfits for a second. You know the ones - the troublemakers. The difficult to work with brilliant geniuses who everyone else ignores.

Leaders: ignore them no longer, unless you want your organization to die.

Employees: think about who are your company's misfits - and then reach out and consider partnering with them on something revolutionary. 

2-4-6-8-who do we appreciate?

THE UNDERDOGS. THE MISFITS - YEA....REBELS!

Yes, friends, I missed mindful Monday - because I was paying the price of being OOO on some vacation and was suffering from a terrible karmic and reality-based vacation hangover yesterday! Boo! Which triggers a new series...starting...now.  Let's talk burnout, shall we? I know, I know - everyone's talking about it! But - let's try a tip or two for a few episodes and see how it goes. If I can help you stay out of the fiery inferno of burnout, LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! Tips of this new series today to prevent the burn 🔥: 1. QUICK! Go take the nonscientific but interesting burnout quiz: https://www.tinyurl.com/shortburnouttest. If you score 60 or higher - just go ahead and subscribe to this podcast. (Hint, the standardized tool is by Maslach - but that 'for real' (scientifically validated) quiz costs $.) 2. TAKE YOUR VACATION - even though I had a day from Hades back in the office after being out, it's so important for all of us to take. Our. Vacation. I'm going to plan the rest of my vacation days this week for 2019 - and I challenge you to do the same. I'm also thinking ahead for my 1 big trip to get out of the country for 2020 too. Get those dates with destiny on your calendar now! :D If you see them coming - you actually get more enjoyment out of them. Seriously! Science backs that up. Okay - I'll be back with more on this series.

ALLEGEDLY - there are apps where people can meet, date that you can swipe left (no-go) and right (yes, let's!) for connections. Tinder is the big one.

...Again, allegedly.

But, guess what's next?

Swiping left or right on a bunch of other things: https://www.fastcompany.com/3033319/six-new-apps-that-use-tinders-swipe-theory?cid=search And here at Fast Co specifically on swiping for your next job.

And...swiping left or right on your next JOB!

Check these resources out if you're looking and want to hunt for your next gig in a fun way:

  1. Blonk - newer app that you can swipe left or right on jobs, specifically.

  2. Bumble - apparently has a professional networking side...? (I didn't test this one out, personally.)

  3. Shapr - more of a professional networking connection site - but one of the examples on Fast Company maybe for jobs coming soon?

This technology is EXCITING to be used for gigs, and professional networking! Consider checking them out!

*This episode is sponsored by the Pharm, LLC list of over 230 healthcare and life science, pharmacist certifications available online at: https://tinyurl.com/RPhCertifications***

Pharmacists: Are you shopping for more education in pain management and/or opioids? If so, look no further than the new Pain Management Specialty Pharmacist Certification (PMSP) by Dr. Mark Garofoli of West Virginia School of Pharmacy. We chat with him about the inception of this new pharmacist certification and other resources in pain and addiction management.

Mark's Bio: Dr. Mark Garofoli, PharmD, MBA, BCGP, CPE is a 2004 graduate from the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy and a 2008 graduate of the Strayer University MBA program. He is board certified in Geriatric Care (BGCP) along with having APhA certificate training in Immunizations and Medication Therapy Management (MTM). He began his career with CVS Health for a decade of being a community pharmacist and “climbing the corporate ladder”. Eventually he made the decision to switch gears and focus more on clinical aspects by joining Humana Healthcare to perform medication therapy management, or MTM, for 6 years. In 2015, he accepted a position with the West Virginia University (WVU) School of Pharmacy to develop an MTM program focusing on pain management, which then evolved into a managed care program performing reviews of patient’s pain management treatment plans. Dr. Garofoli is also the coordinator of the West Virginia Expert Pain Management Panel, which developed the West Virginia Safe & Effective Management of Pain (SEMP) Guidelines (www.sempguidelinesorg). Currently, he is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Director of Experiential Learning for the WVU School of Pharmacy, along with being a Clinical Pain Management Pharmacist at the WVU Medicine Center for Integrative Pain Management. Mark has been a consultant in the field of pain management on many different avenues such as being a grant reviewer for the CDC, an expert witness in multiple criminal and civil court cases, numerous interviews and articles locally and nationally, and recently was the recipient of the West Virginia GenerationRx Award. Dr. Garofoli is also a certified pain educator and conducts presentations across the country revolving around pain management, substance-use disorder (addiction), drug diversion, and illicit substances. He enjoys the many blessings in his life with his beautiful and beyond intelligent wife, Dr. Gretchen Garofoli, and his son Luke in Morgantown, West Virginia.
