Why Partner With PrideScript

Partner pharmacies can deliver high-impact clinical services while strengthening their role as trusted community healthcare providers.

  • Expand clinical services to include pharmacist-initiated PrEP and PEP under California law

  • Generate reimbursable clinical encounters through insurance, Medi-Cal, and assistance programs

  • Increase patient volume and community engagement

  • Address unmet HIV, hepatitis C, and substance use-related needs in your service area

  • Receive implementation support, workflows, and patient navigation assistance

Most community pharmacies already meet many of the requirements.
