Medication dispensing has become a well-accepted practice for physicians looking to add value to the patient experience while increasing clinic revenue. There are a number of approaches to pharmaceutical dispensing and a few gotchas.
Physician dispensing is the act of giving a patient prescription medication from the clinic rather than making him/her go to a pharmacy. State laws require the physician to only dispense to his/her own patient and some states place additional limitations on dispensing from the clinic. Dispensing clinics typically serve cash-paying or worker’s comp patients and focus on generic medications.
PCA’s dispensing solution involves distributing prepackaged pharmaceuticals directly to the clinic. We take bulk medications and repackage them into unit-of-use sizes that fit typical prescription patterns. Physicians can use our logbook system with manual labels or our software solution: RxTracker. Either approach enables the clinic to safely and legally dispense to its patients.
