Your heart failure and AFib patients' medication adherence is on your scorecard.
CMS is moving specialty care toward full financial accountability for outcomes. The Ambulatory Specialty Model launches in selected markets in 2027. Even if Hattiesburg is not in the first wave, the direction is unmistakable: whether your patients stay on their anticoagulants will increasingly determine your reimbursement. Fairview Pharmacy makes sure they do.
What it is costing your practice
Your staff is drowning in prior authorizations. Your patients are abandoning treatment while they wait.
Every week, a cardiology practice processes a heavy load of prior authorizations, and a meaningful share of the staff week disappears into that paperwork. Worse, patients abandon treatment while a prior authorization sits unresolved.
An Eliquis prescription stuck in limbo is a stroke risk that nobody is managing. The longer it sits, the worse the exposure, for the patient and for your scorecard.
Cardiology specific quality risk
Every unfilled anticoagulant moves your numbers.
Here is how medication adherence flows directly into a cardiology practice's reimbursement.
MIPS #326, AFib and oral anticoagulation
Are your AFib patients prescribed and actually taking an oral anticoagulant? If the prescription goes unfilled, your outcome scores can still be affected.
MIPS cost measures, readmissions
Non adherence is associated with strokes and hospitalizations. Those readmissions drive up your cost score.
Ambulatory Specialty Model for heart failure, starting January 2027
A mandatory CMS model rolling out in selected markets, moving toward full financial accountability for heart failure outcomes. Adherence is central.
Star Ratings PDC, triple weighted
Your patients' adherence is tracked by their health plan. The adherence measures are triple weighted, and poor plan performance pressures your practice through value based contracts.
Every magnitude here is framed as a maximum or a possibility, not a certainty. That is the accurate and defensible reading of these programs.
The liability between you and your scores
At a chain pharmacy, if your patient's Eliquis hits a prior auth, nobody follows up.
If they skip a refill, nobody calls. If they stop taking it entirely, nobody tells you. You find out six months later at the next visit, or from a hospital discharge summary.
For an anticoagulation patient, that gap is not a paperwork problem. It is a stroke waiting to happen, and it is on your scorecard. That is not a pharmacy partner. That is a liability.
