You've spent a career becoming valuable. There's more than one way to use it.
TM Pharmacy Consulting helps experienced pharmacists explore and build physician-partnered care management practices of their own.
START HERE
You're new at this. You're not new
You've spent years learning to make a call without every piece of information. To talk to a physician who has four minutes. To catch the thing nobody else caught. To earn trust from people who had no reason to hand it over.
Nobody gives you a certificate for any of that. It just becomes what you do on a Tuesday.
You may never have built a practice of your own. That's genuinely new terrain, and it's worth respecting. It just doesn't mean you're starting from zero.
THE MODEL
So what is physician-partnered care management practice?
A physician's patients need support between office visits. Medications get complicated. Chronic conditions need watching. Things fall apart in the weeks when nobody's looking.
A pharmacist can provide that support, working in partnership with the practice, under care management services billed through the practice.
The practice gets support it couldn't staff on its own. The patients get somebody paying attention. The pharmacist builds a business around judgment she already has.
That's the model. The rest is figuring out how it works in your market.
OPERATOR PROOF
I run this model too
Before I teach something, I want to know what happens when it meets an actual physician office, actual patients and actual healthcare operations.
So I built one. Tendco Health, in rural northwestern Pennsylvania. Physician partnerships, hundreds of patients getting support between visits, a team, real payroll, and all the ordinary problems that come with running something. I built it here. Other pharmacists have built versions of it in very different markets.
A practice that has to work on a Tuesday in February, not just in a slide deck.
OPERATOR PROOF
There isn't one raod
One knows physicians who'd answer her text today and hasn't built anything else.
One has the LLC, the logo and the domain, and has never had a single physician conversation.
One has a yes and no idea what happens next.
One is already running it and just hit capacity.
Where you start changes what matters next.

STARTING POSITION
Find where you are
No score and no grade. For the pharmacist seriously considering this, who wants to see what she's already carrying and what terrain comes next.
You don't need to know exactly where this road leads before you look at where you're standing.

Meet the Expert:
Dr. Thea M. Blystone, PharmD
I've been a pharmacist for 30+ years.
I've worked retail, hospital, LTC, and community pharmacy.
And I was burned out.
In 2016, I discovered remote patient monitoring and chronic care management.
I built my first RPM practice in 2017.
The results:
• Zero to $20K/month in 5 months
• 50 patients in Year 1
• 200+ patients across 20+ physician offices by Year 8
• Multiple employees, 6-figure practice, complete schedule control
Now I help other pharmacists build the same model.
I've coached 200+ pharmacists through PIVOT. I've built continuing education programs for ASCP. I've spoken at national conferences on care management services.
I'm not a theorist. I'm a practitioner.
Everything I teach in PIVOT is what I do in my own practice—every single day.
If I can do this, you can too.
