Pharmacy Podcast Network

The COVID-19 pandemic validated how essential pharmacists are in providing patients care, services and vaccines. In this podcast — held at Cardinal Health’s annual Retail Business Conference (RBC) in Boston — Congressman Buddy Carter and Doug Hoey, CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), address how they’re advocating to elevate the inherent value pharmacies bring to the healthcare industry. They also address the importance of accessibility, affordability and quality in healthcare. Listen in as Congressman Carter and Hoey talk about the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (H.R. 1770, S. 2477), a provider status bill that—if passed—would enable Medicare patients to receive timely and consistent treatment from pharmacists for pandemic-related health services, and would provide a federal reimbursement to pharmacies under Medicare Part B for treatment and services rendered. They also address the current and future state of pharmacy not only through a legislative lens but also how this industry can be positively impacted by advocacy and grassroots efforts.  About Congressman Buddy Carter: U.S. Representative Carter is serving his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Budget Committee. He’s the former mayor of Pooler, GA, a former Georgia General Assembly member, a pharmacist and past owner of Carter’s Pharmacy, Inc. With more than 30 years of experience in pharmacy, he is dedicated to working on behalf of pharmacies to expand their role and interaction with patients.  About Doug Hoey: Hoey is the CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), is a licensed pharmacist in Oklahoma, Virginia and Texas, and has practiced in various pharmacy settings. He is viewed as a pillar of advocacy as he’s spent the last 20+ years working in and representing community pharmacies.
