5 Dispensing 101

6 Dispensing 101 What is Medication Dispensing? 90% of all treatment plans call for the use of prescription medications; making the prescribing of medications your client’s #1 most outsourced ancillary activity. By insourcing this activity not only do they maximize revenue streams but they also provide patients with a convenient alternative to the pharmacy. Programs Available: ASM will provides prepackaged medications (relieving the burden and manual counting or labeling), regulatory consultations (laws in your state specific to dispensing) and a software platform that allows you to keep proper records, track inventory and run a series of activity reports. These standard offerings have advanced on-site dispensing into a very turn-key operation. Goal: My goal today is to create a basic understanding of the value ASM can bring to you and your clinics and to create a roadmap for interested centers to implement and manage a world class dispensing program that will create a market advantage for you in the marketplace 6

7 In-Office Dispensing Model
All medications come from our specialty distribution center located in Chicago. Medications come prepackaged, safety sealed and labeled specifically for in-office dispensing; eliminating the need to pour, count, and package each prescription. You can carry any medication currently prescribe to carry on-site at the clinic. Instead of sending the patient to the pharmacy, the on-site dispensary can provide the patient with a full prescription at the time of their office visit. Clinic uses software to dispense the medication and collect payment or file a claim. The dispensing software records the entire transaction and makes all the required documentation needed to exceed state and federal requirements.

8 Repackaging Components
Our patented in-office medication dispensing program was designed by ASM for today’s physician’s office. Our program will increase the quality of service at your facility, while capturing revenue that is currently being referred outside your practice.
