Mirixa News: New Mirixa Programs Launching Next Week - May 9, 2016

CVSC Performance Network Drug Therapy Program and the SSI Performance Network Drug Therapy Program will launch this coming Monday, May 9th. These new cases will focus on potential gaps of omission issues for eligible CVS/Caremark and SSI plan participants who are your patients. For example, the patient appears to have diabetes, but does not appear to be on a statin therapy to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
