GenieMD and RxHealing launch pharmacy-based chronic care partnership

GenieMD Medical Group and RxHealing have formed a strategic partnership to expand Chronic Care Management through participating independent pharmacies. The model aims to bring ongoing clinical support closer to patients between doctor visits by pairing pharmacy access with virtual care and care-management infrastructure.

Why it matters: - The partnership is designed to make chronic care more continuous for patients with multiple long-term conditions. - Independent pharmacies can help close gaps between physician visits because patients already visit them for medication support. - The model adds another layer of clinical touchpoints outside the traditional clinic, where adherence and follow-up often slip.

What happened: - GenieMD Medical Group and RxHealing announced a strategic partnership to expand access to Chronic Care Management through participating independent pharmacies. - The announcement came Sept. 9, 2026, in San Francisco. - The program combines RxHealing’s pharmacy network and operational support with GenieMD’s nationwide clinical network, virtual care platform and care-management infrastructure. - Eligible patients at participating pharmacies can enroll in Chronic Care Management and be evaluated by a board-certified GenieMD Medical Group provider.

The details: - Participating pharmacists will support medication adherence and reconciliation. - Pharmacists will also provide ongoing health and medication monitoring, patient education and engagement, and identification of medication-related concerns. - The pharmacy role includes reinforcing the patient’s care plan and coordinating with GenieMD Medical Group when clinical issues arise. - RxHealing handles initial patient outreach and education before enrollment. - The program is meant to let a pharmacist already known to the patient handle monthly care management after enrollment. - RxHealing describes pharmacists as Chronic Care Coaches within the model. - GenieMD Medical Group says its platform includes telehealth, Remote Patient Monitoring, Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, Chronic Care Management and AI-enabled care.

Between the lines: - The partnership reflects a broader push to move longitudinal care beyond the traditional clinic. - The structure also suggests a business goal: make CCM more workable at the pharmacy counter by shifting outreach and onboarding away from frontline pharmacy staff. - By tying pharmacies, clinicians and technology together, the model tries to reduce fragmentation in chronic disease management.

What's next: - Participating pharmacies can begin enrolling eligible patients into the program. - GenieMD providers and pharmacists are expected to coordinate ongoing care for enrolled patients when clinical needs come up. - RxHealing and GenieMD are positioning the partnership as a foundation for more community-based chronic care delivery.

The bottom line: - GenieMD and RxHealing are betting that the most accessible chronic care support may come from the local pharmacist, backed by virtual clinicians and a structured CCM workflow. - For more information, visit GenieMD and RxHealing.
