LTCRFP has announced consulting services that guide U.S. nursing homes and assisted living communities through the pharmacy RFP process, including drafting proposals, evaluating bids, negotiating contracts, planning provider transitions and auditing pharmacy bills.
-- Newly announced consulting and facilitation services from LTCRFP help administrators and directors of nursing at long-term care facilities across the United States manage the pharmacy request for proposal (RFP) process. The service supports skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities and personal care homes that are in the process of selecting a pharmacy provider for the first time or considering a change from their existing provider.

The announcement comes as the long-term care pharmacy sector faces significant strain, with a survey by the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) and the Senior Care Pharmacy Coalition (SCPC) finding that about 84% of long-term care pharmacies plan to reduce services or stop serving certain facilities or regions. According to Skilled Nursing News, closures of long-term care pharmacies could leave nursing homes without access to essential pharmacy services, which means more facility leaders may find themselves reviewing their current pharmacy contracts or searching for a new provider.
Choosing among nursing home pharmacy services involves more than comparing prices, says LTCRFP. A long-term care pharmacy contract affects medication management, regulatory compliance, resident safety and day-to-day nursing workflows, and the LTC pharmacy RFP process itself can take up a considerable amount of staff time.
The newly outlined service covers that process from start to finish, beginning with planning and drafting clear RFP documents suited to the facility rather than relying on a generic long-term care pharmacy RFP template. LTCRFP then manages communication with pharmacy vendors, evaluates the proposals that come back and assists with contract negotiations.
For facilities switching long-term care pharmacy providers, the company also supports transition planning, including timelines and communication plans for staff and vendors. The aim, as the company describes it, is to make sure “nothing falls through the cracks” during the move. A carefully planned transition helps limit disruptions to medication delivery and resident care while the new provider takes over.
Beyond the RFP itself, LTC RFP reviews pharmacy bills and rebates to identify overcharges, missed credits and other savings opportunities, which can support facilities working to reduce medication costs in nursing homes and other care settings. Its compliance and medication management consulting focuses on keeping facility processes, and the pharmacy providers that serve them, aligned with changing regulations.
