What it does: The pharmacy services organization partners with providers, payers, accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical home programs to provide specialty medication management.
How it grew to become one of healthcare's hottest: The rapid and fully organic growth of Physicians Pharmacy Alliance owes partial credit to timing. The Affordable Care Act “has caused a lot of change, a lot of chaos, and a lot of need for additional support programs,” CEO Judi Grupp says.
That's where Physicians Pharmacy Alliance comes in—working collaboratively with physicians, patients and the private companies to help manage medications. And making things better for patients also improves the company's bottom line. “Fixing things in the industry will drive results for us,” Grupp says.
This is the second year the company is one of Healthcare's Hottest.
