August 2026 Newsletter

CPESN DMV is a regional network comprising high-performing community pharmacies in Delaware, the District of Columbia, and Maryland, aimed at enhancing the quality of patient care while reducing healthcare costs.

AT RISK!

The ELV program for DC was canceled as of July 1st because the MCO's contract with DC Medicaid was not renewed. This is a big loss for our network and DC pharmacies.

The Maryland market is AT RISK of cancellation due to low engagement. ELV pharmacies: Please complete your initial encounters and A1Cs within the next month. WE cannot afford to lose this program. We know you are busy, but this is a network priority.

Bailey Szamski is available to assist in training your team on this program. Please reach out to her (and respond when she reaches out to you!)
