Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy
Baltimore, MD
02.2012 - Current
- I am directly involved with patient management that involves prescriptions, receiving, filling dispensing, reimbursement, counseling, and patient clinical care. I discuss the importance of medication compliance, refill reminder calls, recommendations to alleviate any side effects and financial assistance when needed.
- I work with chronic critical patients, interacting with genuine care to help them in their medical journey. I promote compliance by making 3-day, 7 day and mid cycle calls depending on the type of medications and follow pharmacist clinical adherence programs.
- I review all refill question sets, contact history, refill history to assess if the patient has missed any doses or is compliant with refilling the medications in a timely manner. I provide detailed patient assessments, reassessments, Drug utilization reviews, medication reconciliation by going through clinical charts provided by Surescripts, prescribers and by contacting patients or caregivers.
- My priority is to provide quality patient care and customer satisfaction. I have more than 10 customer praises on record.
- I develop a care plan when an ongoing problem is identified or requested by the patient at the initial assessment, refill reminder call, 6-month reassessment and as needed during a transition of care. Care plan consists of a problem, measurable goal with a target date, interventions, outcomes, patient motivation level assessment and coordination of care.
- I am actively involved in support and education of people with HIV and the prevention of HIV.I also work to provide education and financial support for people with HIV and HIV prevention through Copay assistance programs.

- I help facilitate the process by working with the insurance company/prescriber and coordinate to obtain chart notes, lab results and other pertinent medical information needed to start Prior authorization.
- My biggest win was to get URAC accreditation (Utilization Review Accreditation Commission) for which I work tirelessly and put a lot of hard work into it. This is very important as URAC is the initiative of our company for us to be a leader in specialty pharmacy now and in years to come. I perform patient management audits as part of our URAC accreditation and review patient profiles for accuracy and completeness.

- I have worked hard to accomplish targets for fiscal year 2022 and 2023 as a part of professional development to managerial roles in the future, my local measure was to raise funds for Susan G Komen LLS, Red nose, Vitamin angel, by reaching out to patients, educating, and explaining them why they need to support this cause.
