PPCN Member Spotlight: PPCN is excited to celebrate Shop and Carry Pharmacy in Philadelphia, PA for their efforts to lean into Medicaid Provider Status services and medical billing! When one of PPCN's payor programs shifted from eCare planning to medical billing, Director of Pharmacy Services Jittu George saw this as an opportunity to transform their practice even further. The pharmacy team leveraged their patient relationships and existing services to transition their encounter documentation and billing to medical billing. Jittu joined a recent PPCN payor program quarterly webinar and shared his takeaways, challenges, and wins with medical billing to all network pharmacies. Congratulations to the Shop and Carry Pharmacy team for their success in growing and diversifying their pharmacy services and business model!
