AcariaHealth Ignites Innovation at the 2025 Healthcare Advocate Summit
AcariaHealth recently took center stage at the
2025 Healthcare Advocate Summit held in Las Vegas from September 2 to 5, 2025. Known for its exemplary performance in specialty pharmacy solutions, AcariaHealth, a proud member of Centene Corporation, introduced a groundbreaking initiative—the
"Reimagine Access" Hackathon. This engaging event brought together healthcare advocates, providers, and pharmacy experts to tackle real-world challenges facing the healthcare system today.
The Exciting Hackathon Experience
Scheduled for September 2, from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM PT, the
Reimagine Access Hackathon was designed as an intense and dynamic gathering that encouraged collaboration among participants. The goal was clear: to generate actionable solutions to pressing access issues in healthcare.
Thematic Breakout Discussions
During the Hackathon, participants were segmented into themed breakout sessions focusing on various healthcare challenges like:
- - Breaking Bio: Understanding the dynamics of biosimilars and ensuring a continuity of care.
- - No Place Like Home: Exploring innovative strategies for home infusion therapies.
- - Coverage Unlocked: Navigating the complexities of Medicare and Medicaid access.
- - The Access Avengers: Forming partnerships between specialty pharmacies and healthcare advocates.
- - Pharmaformers: Strategizing to redefine the specialty pharmacy experience.
Guided by AcariaHealth's Regional Sales Directors, each group utilized brainstorming techniques to develop practical solutions which attendees could implement in their respective organizations.
Expert Panels Offer Invaluable Insights
In addition to the Hackathon, AcariaHealth organized two expert panels on significant topics that resonate across the healthcare landscape.
Biosimilars and Market Disruption Panel
On September 4, the
Biosimilars: Market Disruption panel featured a robust discussion on biosimilar trends, payer mandates, and strategies to avert care disruptions. The panel boasted an impressive lineup:
- - Alysha Robinson, PharmD, CSP - Director, Specialty Pharmacy Program Management
- - Kathleen Stenberg, PharmD, CSP - Lead Specialty Pharmacist, Operational Excellence
- - Robin Waida - Director, Physician Sales
- - Gil Rosas, BSN - Account Executive
A key highlight included a new video showcasing the critical role of AcariaHealth's
Provider Experience Managers (PEMs) in enhancing collaboration between providers and pharmacies.
Medicare Prescription Payment Plan Roundtable
The summit concluded with an interactive roundtable titled
M3P Unpacked, taking place on September 5. Here, attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with speaker
Sheri Wallace, clarifying their lingering questions about the
Medicare Prescription Payment Plan (M3P) and its implications for patients and advocates.
A Commitment to Advancing Access
Jessica Ciccolella-Kahl, the CEO of AcariaHealth, emphasized the company’s philosophy stating, "At AcariaHealth, we believe access to care should be as seamless as the care itself. We are proud to lead these conversations and help drive lasting solutions through innovative strategies and collaborative efforts."
