You’ve spent your whole life feeling like something’s wrong with you. Here’s a radical thought: what if you’re not broken - just different? Welcome to Different, Not Broken, the no-filter, emotionally intelligent, occasionally sweary podcast that challenges the idea that we all have to fit inside neat little boxes to be acceptable. Hosted by L2 (aka Lauren Howard), founder of LBee Health, this show dives into the real, raw and ridiculous sides of being neurodivergent, introverted, chronically underestimated - and still completely worthy. Expect deeply honest conversations about identity, autism, ADHD, gender, work, grief, anxiety and everything in between. There’ll be tears, dead dad jokes, side quests, and a whole lot of swearing. Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or just human and tired of pretending to be someone you’re not, this space is for you. Come for the chaos. Stay for the catharsis. Linger for the dead Dad jokes.

When it comes to prescription drug prices, it can feel like the prices are made up and the copays don't matter. Pharmacist Nate Hux is helping to change that with Freedom Pharmacy and Pickerington Pharmacy. Freedom Pharmacy and Pickerington Pharmacy are both owned by Nate Hux but together help patients optimize what they pay for medications in what is a completely unique setup for pharmacies, unlike any other in America. Nate doesn't just talk about his business but also his path top get here (which involves working for some of the most well known chains) and how this model helps him find a fulfillment and happiness he never before had in practicing pharmacy. Honestly, this is a must listen for pharmacists with several great takeaways.

Bhavana Muthra joins the podcast to discuss this topic and why this can help ensure quality is education and knowledge is being used and translated in a way that can help patients.

Why can't patients get a medication that will work for them without jumping through hoops? Why can't they buy them OTC from the pharmacy? This is the premise that prompted Dr. James Lott to start Scripted.co and help provide an answer to this common healthcare problem that results in mountains of wasteful or extra spending in healthcare. Why can't the pharmacist use their knowledge of medications, easy to diagnose tools and even patient specific information to provide a cost effective option for patients without sending them away to other very expensive options, or even cause them to not get care at all? Here is the article Dr. Lott wrote for Crain's Chicago: https://www.chicagobusiness.com/opinion/illinois-can-save-millions-making-meds-over-counter Here is the company he helped start to answer this simple, yet currently complex, question in healthcare: https://www.scripted.co/…

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, two pharmacists were researching working conditions in pharmacy. While they largely found that working conditions across the field of pharmacy were not good, it was really bad in chain pharmacies. Now this is coming to a head as many chain pharmacies can't find staff and are doing everything they can to bring on new people, with little impact. Dr. Jenny Beal and Dr. Mercedes Clabaugh authored the research paper, "Perceptions of working conditions and safety concerns in community pharmacy" and did an amazing job! So much so that the American Pharmacists Association published in in their publication, Journal of the American Pharmacists Association. This dovetails with the #PizzaIsNotWorking movement that Dr. Tanoe covered last episode. Highly recommend you listen to both of these back to back, in either order You can find the paper here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1544319121002788 Follow Dr. Beal On Twitter here: @JenPharmDPhD (https://twitter.com/JenPharmDPhD) Follow Dr. Clabaugh here on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mercedes-clabaugh-pharmd-rph-14186516a/…

Ohio Senator Matt Dolan joins me on this episode to discuss home major pieces of legislation that he sponsored and passed, unanimously, to help fix the broken payment system behind the Ohio Medicaid program and how he helped get pharmacists provider status. This episode is important because it shows the impact of how one persistent voice can help change the direction of pharmacy and how Senator Dolan was able to take an idea presented to him by a constituent and turn it into a law that is now being recognized nationally for having a major impact in changing how healthcare is delivered in Ohio. Here is the Modern Healthcare article that we discussed on the episode which highlights Senator Dolan's work: https://www.modernhealthcare.com/providers/pharmacists-ohio-managing-care-providers-and-getting-paid-it-too Some links to find more info on Senator Matt Dolan: https://electmattdolan.com/ Twitter: @ElectMattDolan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/electmattdolan/…

Most pharmacists have read the Ellen Gabler article in the New York Times that directly called out the issues we have seen at major chains like CVS in January of 2020. Well, I brought that pharmacist on the podcast to discuss this, and other issues. Guess what? He's running for a Board of Pharmacy seat in North Carolina! Wesley Hickman was a pleasure to interview and hear how him sharing his story was a bomb going off inside of our profession and that of healthcare.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяThis track is the entirety of the Supreme Court Audio (as released) covering the case of Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA). This case will be nothing short of monumental for pharmacy and prescription drug prices, no matter which way it goes! I can not stress that enough. I'm personally hoping the ruling goes for Rutledge as I know this will drop drug prices, increase transparency and allow pharmacists in the community to really be allowed to have more time to work with patients and make bigger impacts in their lives and out of pocket healthcare costs.

We've all heard the term "essential employees", but what does that mean? Peter Kreckel sits down to discuss what he believes this means, as a follow up to his article that was recently published in Drug Topics.

Narcan (Naloxone) seems to always be making the news. Dr. Dan Arendt sits down with me to discuss how he is working with his state board to make this process easier to document for pharmacists, which will hopefully lead to pharmacists using their status as providers, in Ohio. Dr. Arendt brings up some great points here about stigma, access and more. There is an Easter Egg at the end where you can comment and actually make a difference as well!

Dr. Logan Yoho sits down with me to discuss what 340B drug pricing is, how it works, who it benefits and some of the recent political discussion that has sprung up around it. We talk about big Pharma's tactics to halt it, PBMs trying to game the system (more than they usually do) and also ways that Dr. Yoho has used the programs in the times of COVID to really help make a difference in the lives of the patients his pharmacy serves.

Moments after Ohio Governor Mike Dewine signed Ohio House Bill 203 into law, Representative Scott Lipps joined me to discuss this bill he sponsored and why he thinks pharmacy and pharmacists are so important to the healthcare that he worked to expand what we can do for our patients. Representative Lipps has been a huge advocate for helping push pharmacy forward and fight against PBMs. He even discusses why he thinks pharmacy is a a bipartisan issue where common ground can be found to improve our healthcare in this country for all. I personally have met Representative Lipps and really love hearing him speak about the impact pharmacists can have on patients and in healthcare and highly encourage you to follow him and what he has done, especially with bills like Ohio HB 203! https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/legislation-summary?id=GA133-HB-203 http://ohiohouse.gov/p-scott-lipps Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottlippsforstaterep/ Twitter: @LippsForOhio…

In pharmacy, we often try to focus on getting our fellow pharmacists active and involved. Many times patient advocates can be just as effective in helping our cause because they understand what we do for them, sometimes better than we do. State Representative Randi Clites (Ohio District 75) joins me on this episode to discuss how she went from being a strong patient advocate to being elected to represent her district in the Ohio House of Representatives. Rep. Clites has been a strong voice for patients and pharmacy during her time in the legislature and is one of the candidates I really enjoy following because of her work to make healthcare better for everyone in her state.

Brennen Hodge, now CEO of Citizen Health, discusses with me a major case of fraud in pharmacy that is now settled in Mississippi. He shares with me what he saw, how some of his work was used in this and how the PBMs use this software to maximize profit at the expense of patients. We do a bit of a deep dive here and see just how much analytics they can use to ensure they are squeezing every penny out of our healthcare system for their own bottom line.

In this episode, Mark Cuker is our guest and explains how he has been working with 700 independent pharmacies to rectify illegal and shady pricing games that they have been bullied into by one specific major player in the pharmacy benefits industry.

Mark Cuker is working to fight that and right this egregious wrong that has been costing Americans billions of dollars, while hurting consumer choice and running many small businesses out.…
This episode is one that is near and dear to my heart. The story behind Kevin's Law starts in my home county in Ohio, where Kevin Houdeshell tragically lost his life because there were laws that prohibited pharmacists from being able to dispense a life saving medication, in this case insulin. My guest today is Dan Houdeshell, also known as Kevin's father. Dan has been a great patient advocate who has helped get Kevin's Law passed in numerous states. If this law isn't in your state, please reach out to Dan or myself for more information so we can help you get it in your state. Laws like this are vital until pharmacists get provider status, and in some cases even with that in place.

When you think pharmacy and rap music, you probably about drug abuse. Tork Barayan (aka King Rx or Torki) is working to change that image.

Dr. Ken Thai, Immediate Past President of California Pharmacists Association, joins me to discuss the "No Pharmacist Left Alone" law in California. This law is super important to help stop and minimize the issues with lack of staffing at chain pharmacies, which we have all seen grow over the past several years. This law just shows how much impact a state pharmacy organization can have in helping protect both patients and pharmacists, because they truly listen to the issues that are brought to them by their members.

Recently, UnitedHealth Insurance decided to mail 200,000 patients at home COVID tests and generic Tamiflu. While this may seem like a good idea, this can cause several issues for the patient. Some of those issues include a lack of continuity of care, as well as them not being able to get a replacement if the medication is lost (at home or in the mail) since many insurances limit how often they cover oseltamivir to once every 180 days. This all begs the question, why can't pharmacists be able to test for the flu? Provider status aside, this is something that we should be able to due to limit the spread of flu and COVID. We can do COVID tests, why not influenza? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/24/health/Covid-flu-elderly-Medicare.html…
The Paragon Award at CVS recognizes it's highest performing and best in class pharmacists. So why have a fair number of them left the company?
