YOUR PRACTICE & POINT OF CARE DISPENSING

BRP is proud to serve physicians and clinics in the following practice areas and specialties:

Urgent Care

Urgent care clinics are especially well-suited for point of care dispensing. Your patients will value the speed and convenience that in office dispensing can provide; they can buy their prescription medication directly from your clinic instead of making a trip to a pharmacy, waiting in line, and waiting to have their prescription filled. This provides real benefits to urgent care clinics:

Increased Revenue

You can grow your practice profit by up to 50% just by dispensing in-office. That’s up to a 50% profit increase just doing essentially what you’re doing now – without taking on a single new patient, employee, or piece of equipment.

Improved Outcomes

Studies suggest that at least 40% of prescriptions are either not filled or the course of treatment is not followed properly. You can solve this problem for your patients with point of care dispensing, ensuring the prescription is filled and communicating directly with your patients about treatment. Over three-quarters of people consider recommendations from friends, family, and others when choosing a doctor or a clinic. Patients who have benefited from improved convenience and better outcomes will write reviews and recommend you to others – and are more likely to stay loyal to you themselves.

Greater Efficiency

Never take a pharmacist phone call or verification again. You can dispense prescriptions on average in less than two minutes, and spend the rest of your time with patients or growing your practice instead of talking to pharmacists.

BRP Pharmaceuticals provides a large formulary of urgent care medications at competitive prices and has a long track record of partnering with urgent care clinics and chains. We are pharmacist-owned and operated and always maintain at least one professional pharmacist available for any issues that might arise. Please contact us for pricing for your formulary.

Workers’ Compensation

Many clinics that manage workers compensation patients already benefit from point of care dispensing. Such clinics are often dispensing a relatively small number of medication with high frequency, making it even easier to manage inventory and dispense a high percentage of prescriptions in-office as opposed to through a pharmacy. This provides substantial direct benefits to your clinic and patients:

Increased Revenue and Profit

Dispensing prescription medication directly to patients at the point of care allows your clinic to profit from the markup. This markup is normally charged by pharmacies, and represents the difference between wholesale and retail prices of these medications. By dispensing medication directly, your clinic receives this income instead, which flows straight to your bottom line. This benefit is maximized by BRP’s extremely low negotiated wholesale prices, which increases your profit.

Improved Patient Convenience and Outcomes

Since most workers’ compensation patients are dealing with an injury, the convenience benefits of avoiding an unnecessary trip to the pharmacy are even more significant. In addition, most pharmacies are not accustomed to dealing with workers’ compensation billing and hence in many cases the patient has to wait days or weeks before the pharmacy is able to provide their medications. Such delays have a significant impact on injured patients.

Improved Compliance

Studies show that approximately 40% of prescriptions are either not fulfilled or the patient does not fully comply with its instructions. This figure might be even higher for some workers’ compensation patients with reduced mobility or ability to obtain their medications from a pharmacy. Decreased compliance adds costs, delays or inhibits recovery, and creates a frustrating experience for both physician and patient. By dispensing medication directly at the point of care, you ensure that patients receive the medicine that they need and are appropriately instructed on its use.

We are pharmacist-owned and operated and always maintain at least one professional pharmacist available for any issues that might arise. Please contact us for pricing for your formulary.

Worksite / Onsite Clinics

Employee Productivity

Your organization benefits the sooner that employees are recovered and back on the job. However, in the United States, 40% of prescriptions are either never filled or their instructions are not followed. This can prolong treatment and delay recovery and return to work, as well as generating $300 billion in unnecessary medical costs per year. In-office dispensing ensures that prescriptions are filled and treatment programs are discussed directly between patient and physician – leading to better compliance and quicker recovery.

Reduced Employee Healthcare Cost

By offering physician and medication dispensing services at worksite clinics, employers can reduce their cost of the healthcare they offer their employees. Some organizations have reported a range of 10-60% savings on prescription medication costs. Additionally, by dispensing medications at these clinics, an employer is able to reduce cut out the middlemen that extract a significant margin by limiting pricing transparency on these medications. Employers have full transparency regarding medication cost when they offer medications through their worksite / onsite clinics.

Employee Care and Loyalty

It’s much more convenient for an injured employee to get medication directly from their doctor instead of having to go to a pharmacy and wait to get a prescription filled. By providing point of care dispensing, organizations provide value and care to their employees and reinforce loyalty. Worksite / onsite dispensing also protects employees’ confidentiality by allowing them to get the medications they need directly from the doctor who is treating them.

General Practice / Family Doctors / Primary Care Physicians

Physician dispensing is especially attractive to many primary care physicians, family doctors, and general practices.

More Profit

Primary care physicians can increase profits from their practice by up to 50% through point of care dispensing. That’s a benefit you get without having to take on new patients, staff, or equipment.

Better Care

You write a prescription and expect patients to get it filled and follow its instructions. However, 40% of the time this does not happen; either the prescription is not filled or its instructions are not followed. This can lead to worsening conditions and slower recoveries. By dispensing medication at the point of care, there is no chance that the prescription will not be filled, and the patient will communicate with you directly about any questions or issues with following its instructions. Vastly improved compliance leads to significantly better outcomes.

More Patients

By providing better care and increased convenience (it’s much easier for a patient to receive medication from your office than to make a separate trip to a pharmacy) you increase patient satisfaction, which leads to increased loyalty, better reviews, and referrals to friends and family.

Greater Efficiency

It takes approximately two minutes to dispense a prescription. That’s it. You don’t have to find out the patient’s preferred pharmacy, send prescriptions to them, or field verification calls or authorizations. Spend this time instead with patients or growing your practice.

Weight Loss Clinics

The nature of the weight loss clinic business makes it ideal for physician dispensing. This is because most weight loss medications are paid for in cash (they are not generally covered by insurance) and are expensive at the pharmacy. Using BRP Pharmaceutical’s low prices and then charging a markup allows your clinic to make a good profit while providing patients with a much more convenient service that can still be price-competitive. A further benefit for patients is that physician dispensing is by its nature confidential; patients don’t have to risk being overheard at the pharmacy or talk about their weight loss with more people. In addition, patients are much more likely to comply with the specifics of a prescription with in office dispensing. One recent study found that up to 40% of prescriptions written in the traditional pharmacy model are either never filled or its instructions are not followed. Increasing compliance thorough doctor dispensing leads to improved outcomes. With all of these benefits to patients, your weight loss clinic stands to benefit from increased patient satisfaction, better reviews, more referrals, and lower risk. These benefits are all in addition to the money you will make dispensing medication. Clinics have seen profit increases of up to 50% using physician dispensing.

OBGYN

You can dispense prescription medication at your OBGYN practice in partnership with BRP Pharmaceuticals. This benefits your patients; instead of having to travel to a pharmacy and wait for their prescription to be filled, they can simply receive them from your office. Since so many prescriptions are not filled or not properly followed (40% according to one study), point of care dispensing also helps with compliance, and, by extension, improves outcomes. With your patients benefiting from increased convenience and improved outcomes, they will be more likely to remain loyal, leave positive reviews, and refer others. These benefits are all in addition to the direct financial benefit to your practice of physician dispensing. Clinics can increase profit by up to 50% just by dispensing medication, without having to serve additional patients, take on additional staff, or purchase additional equipment.

Mental Health Services

Physician dispensing provides powerful benefits to mental health practices. Patients love the confidentiality of getting their medication at the point of care instead of having to request it from their local pharmacy. Patients also love the convenience of not having to go to a pharmacy and wait for their prescription to be filled. Happier patients are more likely to remain loyal and refer others. Your clinic will also benefit directly from point of care dispensing by “cutting out the middleman” (the pharmacy). By dispensing medication directly to patients, clinics can increase their profit by up to 50% without having to take on new patients, employees, or equipment. A further, crucial benefit for mental health physicians is that in office dispensing leads directly to improved compliance. In the traditional pharmacy model, 40% of prescriptions are not filled or their instructions are not followed. Non-compliance can have especially serious consequences for mental health patients. As such, dispensing at the point of care ensures that the right medication ends up in the patient’s hands and the patient is able to communicate with you directly with any questions.

Gastroenterology Practices

Gastroenterology practices are very well suited to take advantage of and benefit from physician dispensing: Colonoscopy prep kits are often not covered by insurance and can cost over $100 per unit at the pharmacy. This provides an excellent opportunity to purchase them through BRP Pharmaceuticals at our low wholesale prices and resell them to your patients at a competitive price that still generates a sizeable profit margin for your clinic. Patients also benefit from in office dispensing and as a result, they will be more likely to remain loyal and refer others. They benefit from the increased convenience and confidentiality of being able to get their medications at the point of care instead of having to go to a pharmacy and wait for their prescription to be filled. They are also more likely to comply with the course of treatment, leading to better outcomes, since there is no chance that they would not get their prescription filled.

Student Health Clinics

BRP Pharmaceuticals partners with student health centers that do not have a full-service pharmacy on-campus or on-site. The key benefit for student health centers from physician dispensing is improved patient compliance and, by extension, improved outcomes. By helping student patients get better quickly, the risk of infections spreading is reduced. In the traditional pharmacy model, approximately 40% of prescriptions are never filled or are not consumed as directed. For students, many of whom don’t have a great deal of disposable income or access to a car, the risks of non-compliance are likely even higher. However, these risks are significantly mitigated by dispensing medications to the patient at the point of care. In addition, dispensing medications can provide a student health clinic with an ancillary revenue stream to help fund services.

Community Health Centers (CHCs)

BRP Pharmaceuticals partners with community health centers and clinics so that they can dispense medications to patients directly at the point of care. In office dispensing is a powerful tool to improve patient outcomes by improving compliance and communication. In the traditional pharmacy model, approximately 40% of prescriptions are not filled or taken as directed, costing the medical system $300 billion per year. This non-compliance is even more prevalent for lower-income patients, who may not have the time, knowledge, or resources to go to a pharmacy easily to have their prescription filled and explained to them. As such, having the opportunity to put the medication in the patient’s hand and communicate with him or her directly about the course of treatment to be followed is a powerful tool for Community Health Centers. In addition, dispensing medications at the point of care can also provide a Community Health Center with an additional revenue stream that can be used to fund services to the community.
