Understanding DIR and Pharmacy Value-Based Contracting

Pharmacy DIR (direct and indirect remuneration) is a value-based tool that’s getting a lot of buzz on Capitol Hill and at CMS. To better understand Pharmacy DIR and how it affects Medicare beneficiaries, JC Scott talks with Dr. William Fleming, Segment President of Pharmacy Solutions and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer for Humana, Inc.

Dr. Fleming explains what pharmacy direct and indirect remuneration (DIR) means for pharmacists, why it should be thought of as value-based contracting, and how it engages with the pharmacist community to increase medication adherence and keep pharmacies accountable for increasing quality for patients.
