ABSTRACT
The ongoing pandemic has disrupted the health care system, creating challenges for health care workers and patients alike. As workflows and job responsibilities have been adapted to provide care to coronavirus-infected patients, many primary care services have been postponed. This change has led to significant financial impacts that will be difficult to overcome. Ambulatory care pharmacists can help fill gaps both in access to primary care services and in the financial deficit, if given the opportunity to practice at the top of their skillset and bill for their face-to-face and telehealth services both during and after the pandemic.
