The Illinois Pharmacists Association (IPhA) Patient Self-Management Program (PSMP) is an initiative within the Wellness and Fitness Services sector that uses community pharmacists to support employees in managing chronic conditions. Participants with chronic diseases enroll to receive personalized coaching from IPhA-qualified pharmacists to monitor progress toward health and lifestyle goals. As an incentive for participation, patients have co-pays for medications and related supplies waived. Employers promote the program, compensate participating pharmacies, and pay quarterly fees to IPhA PSMP. The program is modeled after HealthMapRx and has been associated with reductions in direct healthcare costs; the organization is based in Springfield, Illinois at 204 West Cook Street, with 2-10 employees and a website at ipha.org.
