Why Dispensing in Your Practice is a Great Way to Boost Revenue

Why-Dispensing-in-Your-Practice-is-a-Great-Way-to-Boost-Revenue-200x300Before adding in-house dispensing, it’s important to do your homework. Take time to consider both the current market conditions and demographics of your patients to determine if it would be a benefit to them.

A few important questions to research include:

Would my clinic benefit?

There are many types of clinics that stand to benefit from in-house dispensing. While it’s important to talk with a reputable consultant like Northwind Pharmaceuticals to see if dispensing is a good fit for your clinic, a few types that would benefit are:

 

  • Primary care clinics
  • Urgent care
  • Student health centers

Why are in-house dispensaries so popular?

As reimbursements go down, physicians are looking for other ways to make up the difference and boost their revenue. One way is by adding ancillary services. Some of these services, such as x-rays and lab services, can be costly and require additional manpower. However, in-house dispensing can be both affordable and run on just the manpower you already have.
