Did you know that more than 20% of all prescriptions written go unfilled? For workers’ compensation, this number is greater than 30%.
One of the keys to a patient’s recovery is following their physician’s orders, including taking any prescribed medications.
Why don’t patients fill their prescriptions?
- They don’t understand the importance of taking their medication.
- They are concerned, especially workers’ compensation patients, about paying out-of-pocket for expensive medications.
- They don’t have the time to go to a pharmacy and wait for their prescriptions to be filled.
In-office dispensing is a simple and easy to implement program that eliminates all of these patient compliance problems. And, since it is an additional service provided by the physician, an in-office dispensing program can generate $25,000 to $100,000 or more additional income annually.
