OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate health care provider awareness and perceptions of the 2 types of advanced practice pharmacists (APPhs) in New Mexico: pharmacist clinicians (PhCs) and community pharmacists with independent prescriptive authority (iRPhs). METHODS: A cross-sectional electronic survey was administered to health care providers in New Mexico to describe awareness and perceptions of APPhs and benefits and barriers to collaborative practice with APPhs. RESULTS: A total of 5905 providers received the emailed survey, and 634 (11%) completed the survey, with 68% of the respondents indicating that they were not aware of the 2 types of APPhs in New Mexico. The top benefits of working with a PhC identified by the respondents were access to medication knowledge, enhanced clinical outcomes, and increased access to patient care. The barriers to employing a PhC at their practice included cost, difficulty in billing for services, and limited reimbursement. Importantly, 80% of the respondents felt that PhCs should be recognized as providers for insurance reimbursement. Awareness of iRPhs varied by prescriptive authority service, ranging from 34% for tuberculin skin testing to 84% for adult vaccinations. Overall, 80%-92% indicated that iRPhs should be reimbursed, depending on the prescriptive authority service. CONCLUSION: Provider awareness of APPhs in New Mexico was low; however, the willingness to refer patients to APPhs for clinical services was high. Cost, difficulty in billing for services, and reimbursement for PhC services were the primary identified barriers to adding a PhC into practice. Most of the respondents indicated that both types of APPhs should be granted provider status and reimbursed by third-party payers for their services.
