Nearly 20% of hospital readmissions are linked to medication mishaps, costing the healthcare system billions and leaving patients struggling to manage their health. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Medication reconciliation isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a lifesaving, cost-cutting, trust-building necessity for health plans.
At Aspen RxHealth, we believe every patient deserves a clear, safe, and supportive transition when experiencing a change in care setting. With our nationwide community of pharmacists, backed by our BeWell web platform, members are given a CMS-compliant consultation within 30 days of leaving the hospital so they have a medication regimen they understand and can follow. When people know what medications to take and why, health improves, readmissions drop, and patient satisfaction grows.
Healthcare transitions can be overwhelming for patients and care teams alike. That’s why Aspen RxHealth’s pharmacist-led medication reconciliation solution is designed to be proactive, efficient, and fully CMS-compliant, helping health plans and providers prevent medication errors, reduce readmissions, and support safer transitions of care.
Here’s how we simplify success:
Real-time eligibility & claims analysis
We track hospital admissions and discharges in real time to automatically schedule pharmacist consultations, ensuring there are no delays, no missed follow-ups, just seamless care.
Comprehensive claims analysis
Our platform identifies three key medication categories:
– Pre-admission active medications
– New prescriptions filled post-discharge
– Previously prescribed medications with no recent fill activity. This allows pharmacists to flag potential issues early, adjust regimens, and catch duplications or omissions before they cause harm
Pharmacist-led medication reviews
Our highly trained network of licensed pharmacists work directly with members to review every medication, including what’s new, what’s necessary, and what needs adjusting. Our personalized approach makes sure that members are safe and effectively taking only medications they need.
Seamless PCP communication
Once the consultation is complete, a reconciliation summary is faxed to the member’s primary care provider within the CMS-mandated 30-day timeframe. This keeps care teams connected and informed for better long-term outcomes.
Empowered, informed patients
Patients receive clear, easy-to-follow medication summaries designed to increase understanding and adherence. Our pharmacists help patients feel confident, not confused, about their medications after a hospitalization or transition between care settings.
Medication reconciliation at Aspen RxHealth is powered by BeWell, our state-of-the-art web-based platform that brings precision, efficiency, and human connection into clinical processes.

If a health plan member was recently discharged from the hospital and prescribed a duplicate medication, medication reconciliation helps identify the duplicate and correct it. Taking two medications in the same therapeutic class can be dangerous, especially for a member with multiple chronic conditions.
Aspen RxHealth only uses licensed clinical pharmacists to provide support during transitions of care as well as care to health plan members. Their extensive education and training uniquely prepare them for this critically important consultation.
Medication reconciliation is an important part of care transitions, such as when a member is discharged from an acute care facility. Health care providers usually perform medication reconciliation in the post-discharge setting for all patients. For Medicare Advantage plans, medication reconciliation is an important quality measure that must be completed within 30 days.
Medication reconciliation protects members from potentially dangerous drug interactions, duplicate therapies, and mitigates adverse drug events. By making sure members are taking the right drugs, at the right dose, and at the right time, medication reconciliation helps them remain healthier and happier and improves patient outcomes. Unfortunately, during transitions of care, valuable information including medication regimens may be miscommunicated, resulting in potential ADEs. Medication reconciliation can prevent such errors.
Absolutely. That’s why Aspen RxHealth pharmacists bundle multiple member consultations into a single phone call. By taking this approach, member abrasion is dramatically reduced, and patient experience is enhanced.
