Case Study

BACKGROUND:

Consisting of fourteen clinics and one mobile clinic, Mosaic Medical is a community-based, community-supported and community-governed network of community health centers that provides quality care for all regardless of life circumstances. Founded in 2002, Mosaic believes that the quality of healthcare should never depend on how much money one makes, what language one speaks or someone’s insurance status.

With this in mind, Mosaic realized it lacked the ability to provide access to medication for its patients in need. Mosaic turned to its 340B third-party administrator, CaptureRx for a solution. That solution was the CaptureCard, a customizable cash card which allows covered entities to pass along 340B savings for discount prescriptions.

“We had patients that were not picking up their medications and the lack of medication adherence was really affecting their health outcomes. CaptureCard allowed us to customize payments and groups, so that we can compliantly provide access to lifesaving medications,” said Robin Vallie, Pharmacy Program Supervisor, Mosaic Medical.

Mosaic uses a grouping system for its CaptureCard, based on patient need. Group A receives the sliding fee scale which covers 100 percent of the cost – patients don’t pay anything for medications such as COPD inhalers and insulin.

“CaptureCard is super-functional and does what it is supposed to do.”

Group B consists of patients that are at more than 100 percent federal poverty level. These patients use their cards to obtain prescription drugs at the 340B price. And Group C provides patients an open formulary option – either brand or generic – provided at admin fee pricing.

“CaptureCard is super-functional and does what it is supposed to do. Now we have a solution that helps to enable our mission of providing quality healthcare to all,” said Vallie.

ENABLING MOSAIC’S MISSION THROUGH GRANTS:

Mosaic Medical was a recipient of a 2019 Community Mission Grant through Capture Cares.

“Applying for a Capture Cares grant could not have been easier – and we are so glad we did! We had identified the need for affordable medication in our clinics three years ago as a critical issue. Our patient population consists of high rates of COPD and diabetes and we needed to address the problem of our patients not picking up or taking prescriptions due to transportation issues. The solution was to integrate a retail pharmacy in our existing primary care clinic,” said Robin Vallie, Pharmacy Program Supervisor, Mosaic Medical. “However, we had not yet been able to fund a program to do so. With the Capture Cares Community Mission grant, we will now have the opportunity to bring a program to life and provide more than 5,000 patients access to affordable and accessible medication. Thank you, Capture Cares!”
