Cardinal Health Launches ContinuCare Pathway for Pharmacies

DUBLIN, Ohio—Cardinal Health has introduced ContinuCare Pathway, a pharmacy-to-supplier referral pathway program designed to help retail pharmacies refer patients to Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions.

“Providing diabetic supplies to patients covered under a medical benefit can create administrative burden on a pharmacy,” said Rob Schlissberg, president of Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions. “ContinuCare Pathway helps pharmacies and patients navigate complex insurance requirements so they can get back to what matters most—prioritizing care.”

Cardinal Health said a smaller version of this program originated at Advanced Diabetes Supply (ADS) and has since delivered scaled growth through continued integration efforts following Cardinal Health’s acquisition of ADS in 2025. Specifically, ADS has leveraged Cardinal Health’s access to brand-name home health supplies to triple its diabetes product offerings through the program with plans to expand to new product categories, including urology and ostomy.    

Cardinal Health also shared that the southeast grocery chain, Publix Super Markets Inc., a recent new customer of the company’s pharmaceutical and specialty solutions business, has enrolled its entire pharmacy network in ContinuCare Pathway, representing nearly 1,400 pharmacies.

“Pharmacies everywhere share our deep commitment to patient care,” Schlissberg said. “Those enrolled in ContinuCare Pathway recognize that home medical equipment (HME) providers like Cardinal Health at-Home Solutions are well-equipped to help these patients get the supplies they need in a timely, reliable way.”  

ContinuCare Pathway is available to any pharmacy nationwide—from independent retail locations to retail, mass-merchandising and grocery chains. The program can fulfill orders for patients covered under Medicare Part B and most commercial medical and Medicare Advantage plans.
