  • Taking the Leap to Entrepreneurship with Dr. Danielle Plummer

    Taking the Leap to Entrepreneurship with Dr. Danielle Plummer
    Jun 14 2020

    In this episode, our guest Danielle Plummer shares about taking the leap from community pharmacy to entrepreneurship. After being a retail pharmacy manager and working with tourists on the Las Vegas strip and near Fremont Street, she launched teleMDcare in late 2019 as a medical concierge service for tourists in Las Vegas.

    MAIN POINTS:

    1. If anyone is uninsured or underinsured (have high deductibles, high co-pays or no telemedicine benefit) or business owners who do not offer their employees insurance, teleMDcare can support you with unlimited telemedicine and a prescription formulary:
      • for yourself and your family members 
      • to offer our service as a benefit to your employees
      • to earn money back to your non-profit organization
    2. Pharmacists are expanding their roles and revenue through telepharmacy. Although laws vary by state, and to my understanding we can still cannot charge insurances for most services, many pharmacists are getting creative. Examples include:
      • Consultants in specific niches are charging patients directly for their services. These include specific disease states, functional medicine, pharmacogenetics…
      • Partnering with physician’s offices to offer MTM and other services through Medical Part B
      • Remote prescription verification
      • Tapping into a telemedicine physician networks to drive business to your pharmacy
        • Patients can see a physician through a terminal or app in a retail pharmacy then have their prescriptions filled **One Stop Shopping***
        • Patients can drive business to their mail order pharmacies by using a physician’s telemedicine network

    ***GenieMD can support all of these services and are even offering pharmacists a free telepharmacy platform for consultations. Contact Danielle@genieMD.com to arrange a demo for you.
