Jonas Congelli, RPh, discusses how limited distribution networks and medically integrated pharmacies can improve access, continuity, and quality of oncology care—particularly in underserved areas—while addressing systemic barriers posed by traditional distribution models and pharmacy benefit managers.

In 2025, medically integrated dispensing pharmacies face significant challenges, including low reimbursements, restrictive pharmacy benefit manager practices, complex therapies, regulatory barriers such as the Stark delivery law, and the Inflation Reduction Act's financial implications, necessitating urgent advocacy, reform, and collaboration to sustain equitable, patient-centered cancer care.
