Pharmacies are affected by the Medicare Five-Star Rating system. A savvy pharmacy will understand the components of the rating system and prioritize its performance in all pharmacy-related measurements. An essential tool must be a fully integrated technology system, such as PrimeRx™ from Micro Merchant Systems. PrimeRx™ includes several capabilities that help pharmacies track their performance across all pharmacy-related star categories. The system also provides visibility with regard to opportunities for improvement.

As pharmacies embrace their role in the Five-Star Quality Rating System, it’s helpful to understand the origins of the system, along with the critical factors plan administrators look for in pharmacy partners. With that understanding, pharmacy managers can rely on the many PrimeRx™ functions that support star measurements and look for opportunities to improve performance in these critical areas.
