Pharmacy

Pharmacy services at Commonwealth Medicine, the health care consulting division of UMass Medical Center, encompass a wide range of activities — all of which are designed to provide high-quality pharmaceutical outcomes while balancing the fiscal constraints faced by public and private sector organizations.

Clinical Support
Building on our pharmacists’ longstanding expertise with traditional cost-saving methods, we now offer a broad set of progressive services to contain the high cost of drugs, while maintaining excellent health care outcomes.

MassHealth
With a strategy that emphasizes excellent program and benefit design, comprehensive drug utilization review, and ongoing quality improvement and measurement, our pharmacy team has avoided more than $1 billion in costs for MassHealth, the Medicaid program for the state of Massachusetts.

Pharmacy Benefits Management
With no hidden revenue sources, our transparent business model ensures that our pharmacy benefits management clients know exactly how their dollars are being spent — and the impact their investment has on health and on fiscal outcomes.

Clinical Call Centers
When providers and pharmacists reach our clinical call center, the first person they speak with is a registered pharmacist who has the knowledge and authority to respond quickly to inquiries.

Administrative Call Centers
Our administrative call centers help clients manage the flow of pharmacy benefit information to their members.
