Blueberry Pharmacy is creating an entire new way to think of retail pharmacy and what Kyle McCormick, PharmD., is doing is beyond remarkable. He has gone all cash. Just think about this, no PBM’s, nor third party audits or pre-authorization hassles. The pharmacy stocks only generics, does a super job of providing one-on-one care and his patients love it, and tell their friends. In this podcast Kyle tells Bruce Kneeland, and co-host Robyn Amberg, how he got started along with the rationale for how and why it works. I think you’ll love listening to the story of how a true pharmacy pioneer has taken off on a new path.
