LTC@Home Pharmacy Accreditation
Why BOC’s LTC@Home Pharmacy Accreditation?
Home-based long-term care is no longer an emerging trend — it’s the fastest-growing segment of the care continuum. BOC’s LTC@Home Pharmacy Accreditation is the first of its kind: a dedicated framework built specifically for pharmacies delivering long-term care services directly to patients in their homes.
Accreditation establishes your pharmacy’s commitment to excellence, safety, and patient-centered medication management — while positioning you for the payer relationships, compliance requirements, and market opportunities that define the next decade of pharmacy care.
Accreditation positions your pharmacy to meet reimbursement criteria from Medicare and third-party payers — and as payer networks aligned with LTC@Home quality standards continue to expand, accredited pharmacies will be first in line.
BOC is recognized by the Long-Term Care at Home Pharmacy Quality Commission to offer this accreditation.

Why Now?
-
Meet a Market That’s Already Here
7.5 million Americans already receive long-term care at home — compared to just 1.5 million in nursing homes. With 75% of adults 50+ preferring to age in place and all Baby Boomers reaching 65 by 2030, demand isn’t coming. It’s here.
-
Help Protect Your Pharmacy Against Audits and Clawbacks
Accreditation gives you a documented compliance framework that helps protect against audits, billing penalties, and PBM clawbacks. One accredited pharmacy faced a multi-million dollar audit and paid just $100 — because they could demonstrate adherence to a recognized set of standards.
-
Unlock New Reimbursement Streams
Many pharmacies are already serving LTC@Home patients without realizing it — and leaving reimbursement on the table. Accreditation formalizes those services and could help open the door to Medicare Part D and third-party payer contracts that require LTC compliance.
-
Get Ahead of the 2030 Mandate
CMS has set a clear direction: all Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries in value-based care relationships by 2030. Accreditation aligns your pharmacy with the quality and accountability standards those contracts will require — before they become a baseline expectation.
-
Differentiate in a Crowded Market
Accredited pharmacies are the preferred partners of payer networks, home health agencies, and care organizations. Early accreditation isn’t just a credential — it’s a competitive position that’s harder to replicate the longer you wait.
