Yes! Three out of four (75%) Americans would prefer to have their prescriptions filled in their doctor’s office instead of a retail pharmacy if given the choice. Additionally, 84% feel it would be more convenient, and 62% believe it would help them better manage their health. Every month, over 25,000 patients fill SKNV prescriptions.
Studies have shown that up to 70% of patients who encounter prior authorization don’t receive the original prescribed medication, but a substitute. Physicians know what works best for their patients. This allows you, the provider, to customize your patient’s medication regimen to ensure they receive the best medication for them. It also offers the convenience of dispensing during their visit and reduces out-of-pocket expenses compared to their pharmacy copays. When patients leave the office with medication in hand, their understanding is enhanced, their compliance rates increase and their outcomes are improved.
Aside from the convenience of dispensing in-office, you have the benefit of face-to-face prescription consultations as your patients receive their medication. You get to have an open discussion with them about taking the medications, the intervals, completing the regimen as directed, and verbally warning them of interactions that may occur with any other medications you know they are taking. Compliance with drug therapy is 60-70% better when medications are delivered at the point of care than when patients are handed a written prescription. Care and satisfaction are quickly improved because you can monitor your patients’ process and progress while providing concierge-level service for your patients.
