POP Medical offers a point of care pharmaceutical dispensing program that is a convenient and cost effective method for supplying your patients with the medications they need at the time of their office visit.
Dispensing Overview
Many practices today are writing more prescriptions than they are ordering labs and x-rays, etc. Yet these scripts generate no revenue to your practice. POP Medical’s physician dispensing model enables you to preserve the entire treatment process within the practice, improve compliance, and enhance the "trust factor" that inherently comes with a full-service practice.
Key benefits include:
- Continuity and quality of care
- Improved patient outcomes
- Enhanced revenue stream
- Seamless and efficient turn-key operation
- NO startup cost
National averages indicate that physicians write 2 prescriptions per patient visit and see 20 patients a day. Patients then take those prescriptions to a local pharmacy for fulfillment. POP Medical enables physician’s practice to fill most prescriptions in the office thereby generating significant new revenues for the practice and providing a tremendous service to its patients.
Our solution covers name brand and generic drugs. Using the turn-key Dispensing Solution program, the practice is furnished the prepackaged medication and sells it to the patient for the patient’s co-pay. Using the averages stated above, this program could generate between $150- $200 per physician per day in PROFIT.
Dispensing Benefits
SAVE YOUR PATIENTS TIME AND MONEY: Patients who are sick, in pain, post-op, or simply too busy will appreciate the convenience and security that comes with receiving their medications directly from their healthcare provider. This program also offers your patients a time-saving alternative to long waits at the pharmacy.
INCREASE INCOME: Medication dispensing is a significant way to generate additional income for your practice. With net revenue ranging from $5-$10 per prescription dispensed for our model, an active in-office dispensing program can strengthen your practice's bottom line.
IMPROVE TREATMENT COMPLIANCE TO IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES: AARP studies suggest as many as 30% of all prescriptions go unfilled each year. In-office medication dispensing ensures your patients have their medications in hand before they leave your office.
