We advocate for the policy environment that makes it possible.  [Learn More](https://ltcah.com/joinnetwork?hsLang=en) ## Independent Pharmacies Deserve a Seat at the Table Independent pharmacies are the backbone of healthcare in communities across America. They serve patients that large chains overlook, manage the complexity of long-term care at home, and do it all while navigating a reimbursement landscape that too often works against them. At LTC@Home Pharmacy Network, our mission has always been bigger than training. We believe independent pharmacies deserve recognition, fair reimbursement, and a powerful voice in the conversations that shape their future. That's why we show up — in state capitals, in managed care negotiations, and wherever decisions are being made that affect the independent pharmacies we serve.   ![9bf795f5-29ef-45c0-9671-c8e8b199ddbc](https://ltcah.com/hs-fs/hubfs/9bf795f5-29ef-45c0-9671-c8e8b199ddbc.jpg?width=1500&height=2000&name=9bf795f5-29ef-45c0-9671-c8e8b199ddbc.jpg "9bf795f5-29ef-45c0-9671-c8e8b199ddbc") ## Where We Show Up ### On the Ground. In the Room. State Pharmacy Legislative Days - We have spoken at state pharmacy legislative days to champion the value of independent pharmacies and the critical role they play in home-based patient care. We bring real data, real member stories, and a clear message: independent pharmacies are not a relic of the past — they are the future of community health. Managed Care Advocacy - We work directly with health plans and managed care organizations to advance recognition and reimbursement for the LTC@H level of care. Independent pharmacies are already providing this care. They deserve to be paid for it. Community & Industry Partnerships - We collaborate with pharmacy associations, healthcare coalitions, and policy advocates to amplify independent pharmacy voice. We believe the strongest advocacy happens together.   ## Why This Matters ### The Stakes Are Real Independent pharmacies are closing at a rate communities cannot afford. Shrinking reimbursements, PBM practices, and a regulatory environment that often favors large chains are squeezing out the very pharmacies that know their patients by name. The patients who depend on LTC@H services — seniors, individuals with chronic conditions, those recovering at home — are often the most vulnerable. When their community pharmacy closes, the impact is immediate and severe. We believe every independent pharmacy that wants to stay open, grow, and serve its community deserves the resources, the reimbursement, and the support to do exactly that. Independent, but not alone. ![c60b03ff-05ea-4f22-ada5-c70a13c48693](https://ltcah.com/hs-fs/hubfs/c60b03ff-05ea-4f22-ada5-c70a13c48693.jpg?width=1500&height=2000&name=c60b03ff-05ea-4f22-ada5-c70a13c48693.jpg "c60b03ff-05ea-4f22-ada5-c70a13c48693") - ![NC Pharmacy Legislative Day](https://ltcah.com/hs-fs/hubfs/488176705_2400541406978987_6261907651464567127_n.jpg?width=2048&height=1536&name=488176705_2400541406978987_6261907651464567127_n.jpg) Hover message - ![2a7c8c9c-246d-49d6-b2ea-48f196372499](https://ltcah.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2a7c8c9c-246d-49d6-b2ea-48f196372499.jpg?width=1536&height=2048&name=2a7c8c9c-246d-49d6-b2ea-48f196372499.jpg) Hover message - ![0f4bb4a1-0c0b-4dfc-940a-c0da47030771](https://ltcah.com/hs-fs/hubfs/0f4bb4a1-0c0b-4dfc-940a-c0da47030771.jpg?width=2048&height=1536&name=0f4bb4a1-0c0b-4dfc-940a-c0da47030771.jpg) Hover message --- ## Add Your Voice  Whether you're a pharmacy owner navigating these challenges firsthand, a healthcare professional who sees the gap, or a policy advocate who shares our mission — we want to connect.  [Contact Us](https://share.hsforms.com/16ppQM-6wTlGuITW5pM0NlAnw4yx) Have a story about how policy or reimbursement has affected your pharmacy?
