Operational Cost Savings

Helping your alternate care pharmacy operate more efficiently is our main focus. We provide services and technologies that enable you to manage your inventory, reimbursement, procurement, and staffing processes more effectively in order to control costs and preserve your margins. 

  • Inventory management is an important aspect of an alternate care pharmacy because it significantly impacts the cost of supplies and working capital - in fact, it is often the largest component.

    Our Inventory Management solution begins with an accurate snapshot of how well you are managing inventory and then implements solutions for greater control and cost savings. Some of these solutions we implement can include:

    Premier Technology Solutions
    Including FastPak® compliance packaging and MedSelect® Flex™ automated dispensing cabinets.

    Lower Inventory Costs
    Many pharmacies take advantage of our RxInventory Optimizer application to reduce inventory creep, reduces stock-outs, and maximize labor.

    Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS)
    Electronic ordering of Schedule II controlled substances reduces inventory on hand and staff time managing orders.
  • Maximize revenue through more aggressive and accurate management of claims, contracts, and collections.


    Simplify Third-Party Negotiations
    You can join our Good Neighbor Pharmacy Provider Network® (GNPPN) and take advantage of the negotiation leverage of our 5,000+ retail pharmacies, simplifying negotiations and accepting more plans under favorable contract terms.

    Submit and Collect the Correct Rates
    Our MAC pricing research helps ensure that your reimbursement rates reflect the most current prices. And our online, real-time error prevention and data validation tools help optimize collections.


    Maximize the Profit Potential of Generics
    AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation's PRxO® Generics solution combines competitively priced products with rebates, promotions and price protection programs that you won't find anywhere else.  And with one of the largest generics forumlaries in the industry, you can consolidate most of your purchases with us, making it easier to accumulate higher savings.
