Urgent Care

On-site medication dispensing is a perfect fit for the urgent care practice model. Patients that visit urgent care clinics are looking for fast, convenient treatment of acute ailments, and the last thing they want to do at the end of their visit is drive to the local pharmacy and wait for their prescription to be filled. Ailing urgent care patients value speed and convenience more than cost savings, but urgent care clinics can typically deliver all three of those benefits through on-site medication dispensing. Becoming a one-stop shop for your patients and offering both treatments and medications on-site, urgent care clinics can also improve patient satisfaction and benefit from higher patient retention and referrals in an industry that is often characterized by long waits and poor patient experience.

PharmaLink offers a wide variety of urgent care medications in low-cost generic form, which allows our urgent care customers to mark up medications (earn a profit) while still offering a patient price that is competitive with their copay or cash cost at the pharmacy.

Some of the most commonly dispensed urgent care medications include:

Acetaminophen
Amoxicillin
Benzonatate
Cephalexin
Ciprofloxacin
Clindamycin
Cyclobenzaprine

Ibuprofen
Levofloxacin
Lisinopril

PharmaLink’s full medication formulary includes over 2,000 branded and generic medications, so even if you don’t see the medication you’re looking for on this list, there’s a good chance we carry it!

Workers’ Comp

Dispensing medications to workers’ compensation patients at the point of care provides convenience and confidentiality to patients, improves medication compliance, and can be very profitable for providers. When workers are injured on the job, it costs their company money every moment they are away from work. You can offer exemplary service to employers who have employees hurt on the job, getting them back to work sooner, and increasing your profit margins at the same time.

Workers’ compensation regulations and reimbursements are determined by governing bodies at the state level. In states where worker’s compensation medication dispensing is permitted, the reimbursement amount is typically calculated as the average wholesale price of the medication plus a dispensing fee. The total reimbursement often exceeds $100 per dispense, sometimes significantly higher, generating substantially more profit for the practice than other forms of payment for dispensed medications (cash and carry or private insurance reimbursement, for example).

Some of the most commonly dispensed workers’ compensation medications include:

Acyclovir
Albuterol Sulfate
Amoxicillin
Azithromycin
Benzonatate
Cephalexin
Ciprofloxacin
Clindamycin
Clonidine
Cyclobenzaprine
Doxycycline

Fluconazole
Fluoxetine
Furosemide
Gabapentin
Hydrochlorothiazide
Hydrocortisone

Gastroenterology

Medication dispensing is a great ancillary service for gastroenterology practices as it provides convenience and confidentiality to patients, as well as generating additional profit for the practice on the large volume of in-office procedures performed. Colonoscopy prep kits are not always covered by insurance and the cash cost at the pharmacy is often over $100, providing a great opportunity for gastro practices to generate additional profit and save patients money versus their cost at the pharmacy on pre-procedure and post-procedure medications.

Some of the most commonly dispensed gastroenterology medications include:

PEG 3350
Gavilyte-C
Gavilyte-G

Student Health

Medication dispensing provides a compelling value proposition to student health centers that do not have a full service pharmacy on site. Dispensing medications to students at the point of care improves medication compliance, helping to contain the spread of infections and creating a healthier campus. PharmaLink’s turnkey dispensing solution makes it easy to implement and operate a medication dispensing program at your student health center.

Employer Health

Employer worksite medical clinics can generate tremendous cost savings while improving employee productivity and medication compliance by dispensing medications on-site rather than sending employees to the pharmacy to pick up their prescriptions.

Direct Cost Savings: By purchasing medications through PharmaLink and dispensing directly to your patients at your on-site medical clinic, you’re able to eliminate the large pharmacy and PBM (pharmacy benefit manager) markups. Switching from the traditional pharmacy-pickup model to on-site dispensing can often save your clinic up to 60% on total medication costs without changing prescribing habits at all. The direct cost savings from worksite medication dispensing are often enough to cover the overhead for the entire clinic!
Productivity Improvements: By skipping the trip to the pharmacy and receiving their medications at your on-site medical clinic, your employees reduce the amount of time spent away from the office, generating immediate productivity savings for your company.
Medication Compliance: Studies show that medication compliance increases substantially when patients receive their medication at the point of care rather than from the pharmacy. Higher medication compliance translates to better control over recurring/chronic health conditions for individual employees, as well as reducing the risk of spreading contagious illnesses.
