Patient Convenience
Patients will appreciate the convenience of having prescriptions filled in-office, saving them a
trip and a long wait at the pharmacy. No one wants to bother with a trip to the pharmacy when they are
ill or their child is ill. Filling routine prescriptions at the pharmacy could delay the patient’s
return to work. By dispensing the medication in-office, you will save your patients time allowing them
to return to home or work faster. TOP
Patient Loyalty
The additional level of care you provide your patients by in-office medication dispensing will
cultivate a caring and compassionate relationship with your patients. TOP
Increased Practice Profits
By dispensing medication directly in your office, your practice will see increased profits almost
immediately with the PPC program. PPC has incredible buying power lowering the cost of the drugs
purchased. Since program costs are minimal, the practice will quickly see the positive impact to the
bottom line.

Reduced Pharmacy Call Back Time
A 1999 study by the Institute of Medicine estimated that every pharmacy call-back cost physicians
practices $5–$7 to pull and review the chart and return the call. With the average physician
writing 30 prescriptions a day and handling nearly another 30 requests for refills, the dollars add up
quickly. (Tipping the Balance of Power with Digital Patient Information, Pharmaceutical
Executive, March 2002, Mary Johnston Turner)
Physician Pharmaceutical Corporation's Program for in-office medication dispensing will significantly
decrease the amount of time, and therefore the cost, of pharmacy call-backs. TOP
Prescription Accuracy and Compliance
Prescription non-compliance is a significant cause for hospital visits for patients taking three or
more prescriptions, especially elderly patients. Furthermore, over 30% of prescriptions are never
filled.
The PPC program tracks each patient’s prescriptions so the physician knows what prescriptions
are being taken including dosages and timing. It also ensures the physician that the patient received
the medication and did not opt to ignore instructions. TOP
Easy Set Up
PPC handles almost every aspect of setting up the physician dispensing unit. Among other tasks,
PPC handles licensing paperwork, insurance/pharmacy benefit manager paperwork, assistance with setting
up the location, screening and training of the Certified Pharmacy Technician, and establish the
system/work flow. TOP

medication dispensing unit. Some of the support provided is assistance with the initial inventory
