More than a script October 21, 2024 In Your Corner 1 MINUTE READ

More Than a Script is an innovative program developed by Blue Cross NC to help folks better manage their high blood pressure and diabetes. By enlisting pharmacists to help their customers understand these conditions and the medications to treat them, More Than a Script is having a positive impact on community health throughout the state, especially in rural areas. 

Anna Baird of Realo Drugs in New Bern, NC explains how

In rural North Carolina, it can be really challenging to number one find a doctor, much less get to that Doctors appointment.

Most people see their pharmacist at least twelve times a year, they’re coming into the pharmacy every month to pick up their medications, so it’s a familiar face.

[MUSIC]

[Anna Baird]

More than a script is a program that was developed by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina to help patients better manage their high blood pressure and diabetes.

This program just gives us the opportunity to sit down with patients and answer their unique questions.

[MUSIC]

[Anna Baird]

I can be there to help supplement what they’ve learned at the Doctor’s office. I have the time and ability to do it and I’m right down the street when them when they need to meet.

What I want them to understand is what changes they can make to live a healthier and more high quality life.

[Anna Baird]

Blue Cross and Blue shield of North Carolina cares and this program proves that.
