What A&E Pharmacy does

A&E Pharmacy is a privately held, specialty long-term care pharmacy headquartered in Arden Hills, Minnesota, serving senior living communities and independent living seniors across Minnesota, Iowa, and Colorado. The company delivers prescription medications, OTC products, IV and hospice medications, and medical supplies (including diabetic supplies) on a daily, same-day basis to each facility, with free home delivery for independent living residents. Core service components include blister or vial packaging, 24/7 pharmacist access, monthly co-pay billing, and acceptance of most insurance plans including Tricare and Medicare Part D; the company does not serve Veterans Affairs insured patients.

The business operates a B2B sales-led motion targeting senior living facilities, complemented by a direct-to-consumer model for independent seniors. A 9-person team coordinates closely with nursing staff, physicians, and specialists through shared data systems that streamline medication management communication. Add-on clinical services — comprehensive medication reviews, pharmacogenomics consultations, and on-site vaccinations — are layered on top of the core dispensing offering. Revenue is generated through insurance-billed prescriptions (subscription/recurring), OTC and supply sales (transactional), and professional service fees for medication management, with monthly statements issued for resident co-pays.
