Enclara Pharmacia

What Enclara Pharmacia does

Enclara Pharmacia is a US-based B2B hospice pharmacy solutions provider exclusively serving hospice organizations, including for-profit and non-profit providers operating under Medicare Part A. The company delivers medication access, clinical support, and digital tools designed to reduce pharmacy costs for hospices operating under capitated per-diem reimbursement. Its core technology stack includes the E3 Pro platform (integrated web/mobile mail order and local dispensing), Enclarity (business intelligence tracking pharmacy costs by care model), MUGs/Medication Utilization Guidelines (point-of-care prescribing support), and remote pharmacy administration for automated dispensing systems (BD Pyxis and Omnicell) in hospice inpatient units. Enclarity integrates with electronic medical records and electronic prescribing platforms via interfaces developed with hospice EMR vendors.

Enclara operates a hybrid distribution model combining its own full-service mail-order pharmacy with next-day delivery, a local pharmacy network for community dispensing, and remote management of automated dispensing machines in inpatient units. Revenue is generated through pharmacy services contracts with hospice providers under managed-services and professional-services arrangements, with costs tied to medication management under the Medicare Part A hospice benefit. The company has 501-1,000 employees and supports hospice clients across multiple US states, with at least 30+ clients operating 50+ inpatient unit locations on its automated dispensing program.

The company was founded in 2006 and was owned by Humana for several years before being divested in 2025. Following the divestiture, Enclara joined Dragonfly Health, a strategic operating parent that combines pharmacy, durable medical equipment (DME), and combined service solutions nationwide. Enclara serves as Dragonfly Health's hospice pharmacy franchise and provides 24/7 pharmacist consultations, utilization management, formulary design, staff training, and clinical education resources such as the Enclara Learning Academy, Palliative Pearls newsletter, and Clinical Alerts.

Direct peers

• Guardian Pharmacy Services: Guardian Pharmacy Services is one of the largest long-term care and specialty pharmacy providers in the U.S., serving senior living, skilled nursing, and hospice populations.

• PharmScript: PharmScript is a long-term care pharmacy provider serving skilled nursing facilities and hospice patients with dispensing, clinical support, and technology-driven medication management. It is comparable to Enclara in providing specialty LTC pharmacy services with technology integration.

It is comparable to Enclara in its hospice-adjacent LTC pharmacy focus and technology-enabled service model.
• ExactCare Pharmacy: ExactCare Pharmacy (a Tabula Rasa HealthCare company) provides medication management and pharmacy services for patients with complex, chronic needs, including those in home-based and LTC settings. It is a direct peer in chronic-condition medication management and home delivery pharmacy services for vulnerable populations.
• Clarest: Clarest (formerly Remedi SeniorCare) is a long-term care pharmacy provider serving skilled nursing, senior living, and hospice populations with dispensing, clinical consulting, and technology-enabled medication management. It is comparable to Enclara in its LTC/hospice pharmacy focus and tech-enabled service model.
• Optum Hospice Pharmacy: Optum Hospice Pharmacy (formerly AxelaCare) is a hospice-focused pharmacy services provider owned by UnitedHealth Group/Optum.

Broad incumbents
