Abstract
The implementation and expansion of primary care (PC) pharmacist medication optimization and management services has been hindered mainly by the lack of a payment mechanism for PC providers to engage pharmacist services. If pharmacists expect to be included in new PC team-based payment models, we need to actively engage in ongoing PC practice transformation discussions with PC organizational leaders. In this commentary, examples of integrated PC pharmacist services and payment models are provided to (1) reinforce the feasibility of pharmacist integration into expanded PC teams and (2) share with PC leaders, payers, and policy makers.
