Physician Consulting Groups & Physician Dispensing Why more consultants are turning to physician dispensing

Physician groups all over the country are witnessing firsthand the many benefits that arise when state of the art technologies collide with the world of Healthcare. Physician dispensing is just one of those benefits and like the others, strives to provide increased patient satisfaction, improved patient compliance, and capture streams of revenue that were at once walking right out the front door. MEDeRx offers a physician dispensing platform that allows physician groups to dispense directly to the patient from the point of care. No longer does a patient have to travel to a pharmacy to obtain medications. MEDeRx uses a free web based software program that allows physician groups to complete the cycle of care and send their patients home with the prescribed course of therapy. Please take a few minutes to review the next slides that will help answer the questions: What is physician dispensing and how can it benefit our group? Regards, Cory Buscher Vice President, Sales

MEDeRxTM - A Common Sense Solution

The average physician spends up to 60 minutes a day dealing with pharmaceutical issues

for no revenue. For every three physicians, there is usually one employee dealing

exclusively with pharmaceutical issues. This employee is often a nurse whose salary and

benefits may reach $100,000 annually.

healthcare costs with the digitization of information. Healthcare Information Mgmt, 2000

American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines do not preclude office dispensing as long

as state and federal regulatory requirements are fulfilled, the doctor prescribes only to

his/her patients and allows them to fill prescriptions where they want.

Physician drug-dispensing’s impact on revenues reveals a different and unfamiliar

dynamic. Dispensing oral medications is not a high-margin business. The net revenue

generated depends on the number of scripts filled. The impact that low-volume, high-

margin drugs have on profitability is nominal in comparison to high- volume, low-margin

generic medications. Revenue generation depends more on the process (volume) than

price (profit).
