In 2021 our PA Health and Wellness (PHW) Pharmacy Team will be virtually “opening our offices” to our Network Prescribers to offer educational “Lunch and Learns.” We will use these forums to update you on pharmacy benefits, program changes, and facilitate open discussion! We invite you to also ask any questions that you might have during these forums so we may better assist you in providing high-quality care to your Patients, our Participants.
Our Prescriber Lunch and Learns will occur on the 4th Tuesday of each month in 2021 starting on February 23, 2021. Register online today.
PHW is committed to providing appropriate, high-quality, and cost-effective drug therapy to all PA Health & Wellness Participants. We, at PHW, want to help you navigate our plan pharmacy benefits in order to better explain to our Participants what they need to do in order to obtain care they need without unnecessary barriers. This will include all PA Health and Wellness products: PA Health and Wellness (Community HealthChoices), Allwell from PA Health and Wellness (Medicare D-SNP and Advantage Plan), and Ambetter from PA Health and Wellness (Commercial Exchange).
