Medication Therapy Management: Anticoagulation Services

Premier Health partners with providers to offer pharmacist-managed medication therapy management services, including an anticoagulation clinic. Through a referral-based program and a consult agreement with a patient’s primary or specialty provider, the clinical pharmacist will work one-on-one with the mutual patient to safely and successfully manage his or her anticoagulation therapy. Patients will receive comprehensive and individualized care based upon current FDA-approved indications and accepted clinical practice guidelines.
