CPESN NY, LLC Announces Partnership with Pharmacists Mutual to Support Expansion of Community Pharmacy Services and Standing Order Program

Buffalo, N.Y. August 19, 2025 – CPESN NY LLC, an independent practice association of pharmacies  committed to advancing community-based pharmacy care, is proud to announce the continuation of  its partnership with Pharmacists Mutual (phmic.com), a nationally recognized leader in specialty  insurance for independent community pharmacies. Through this collaboration, pharmacies gain access  to specialized insurance and risk management solutions, enabling them to expand services, including  participation in the Standing Order Program. 

Each fall, CPESN NY member pharmacies have the opportunity to enroll in the Standing Order Program  by completing a one-hour CE, presented by Joy Snyder, PharmD, MPH, BCACP, Clinical Research  Pharmacist at Wilmot Cancer Institute, and a two-hour implementation webinar. These trainings equip  pharmacies to build and operate a compliant, profitable program while strengthening their role as  trusted healthcare providers in their communities. The standing order, issued directly to the pharmacy  and covering all enrolled immunizers, authorizes the administration of 17 vaccines, including RSV,  influenza, pneumococcal, acute herpes zoster, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus, measles,  mpox, mumps, rubella, varicella, COVID-19, and more. Last year, 77 pharmacies participated, and  enrollment is expected to increase again this year.  

“Pharmacists Mutual has been a great partner to Condo Pharmacy for more than a decade now. From  helping the pharmacy navigate property issues with water damage (two weeks after going live), and  automotive issues after our delivery vehicle was hit, to providing advice on clinical and pharmacy  services as our pharmacists navigate New York’s expanding scope of practice. Knowing that I don’t have  to think of every possible vulnerability and having PHMIC come to me with their experience and  expertise about what needs to be insured and how best to do so in the pharmacy space is a big weight  off my back. Chris Lang and his colleagues are an invaluable resource and an essential part of the  Condo Pharmacy team,” said Steve Moore, owner of Condo Pharmacy in Plattsburgh, NY. 

As CPESN NY strengthens its network of pharmacies offering enhanced clinical programs, Pharmacists  Mutual provides the dependable coverage and support that allow pharmacies to focus on what  matters most: delivering exceptional care and services to their communities.
