Who should become a Platinum Business Partner (PBP) IPA Member?

Pharmacies that are currently participating in advanced pharmacy practice initiatives, such as New Practice Model, value-based networks, collaborative practice agreements, billing for pharmacist services, State Innovation Model, and Hospital Improvement Innovation Network, would highly benefit from PBP membership. Pharmacies that are considering involvement in such initiatives or are looking to improve their current level of patient care services would also benefit from the resources provided by this membership.
 

What is the value of this new member category?

In addition to the benefits received by Business Partner members, PBP members will receive proactive communication with IPA staff on a regular basis to provide timely information regarding new trends and emerging practice models in pharmacy as well as participation in weekly legislative calls with IPA staff. Increased access to IPA staff, consultative services, and assistance with implementing initiatives that lead to revenue opportunities adds immeasurable value to this membership category.
 

Does the PBP Membership include pharmacists and technicians?

No. IPA’s Platinum Business Partner memberships are for the licensed pharmacy only and not individual practitioners at each site. Individual memberships for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can be added on.
 

If my practice site has multiple licensed pharmacies, can we choose only certain sites to become PBP members?

Yes. The price of your PBP membership will be based on the number of licensed pharmacies that are electing this category of membership specifically. Your practice can choose to enroll only the sites that are currently engaged in practice advancement if desired. However, access to the resources outlined will be limited to those sites participating in PBP membership.
