The Patient Access to Pharmacists’ Care Coalition launched an ad campaign to garner support for legislation to improve Medicare patient access to pharmacist-provided services.

Print and radio ads debuted in the D.C. market this week promoting provider status legislation—H.R. 592/S. 314, the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act. The ads, created by the Patient Access to Pharmacists’ Care Coalition (PAPCC), emphasize access to healthcare for seniors in urban areas.
