Cost-Effective Care for Your Cash Patients

Although you treat your cash patients on a fee for service basis, you are in many ways their HMO. They rely on you to keep down their cost of healthcare. In this respect, you have an excellent opportunity to provide your patients with prescriptions, including maintenance drugs for chronic conditions at a price they can afford.

Rather than sending your patients to a pharmacy that is going to charge them twenty five dollars or much more for a basic prescription, you can provide most of your patients prescriptions at the clinic for a patient price of less than fifteen dollars. It's truly a win/win situation for the clinic and the patient. You can ensure that your patients' health won't be damaged when they don't fill their prescriptions. As you know, many prescriptions are never filled due to money concerns of the patient.

Many important name brand drugs have recently had their patents expire. However, these new generics and many of the old generics are vastly overpriced at the retail pharmacy.

NuCare Pharmaceuticals has the tools and experience to provide much better organization and efficiency to your clinic dispensary. (see attached letters of recommendation) Our experience has shown that even a limited in-house formulary can capture more than 70% of the prescriptions written. (Of course, there are still certain medications for which the patient should go to a pharmacy. NuCare advises that you should probably not stock medications for which you will have to charge the patient more than twenty five dollars.) If your clinic dispensary can provide just 60% of the prescriptions, then a clinic seeing 50 patients a day should be dispensing at least 30 prescriptions a day and generating income for the clinic in excess of $10,000 per month at a profit to the clinic well exceeding $6,000.00.

The key to successfully operating a more comprehensive dispensary lies in implementing systems to increase organization and efficiency. This is where NuCare excels. Costs for NuCare's organization systems range from minimal to zero. Depending on your proposed volume NuCare will provide the organization systems for free. All you pay for is NuCares very low cost prepackaged prescriptions. If you want to see the numbers NuCare will be happy to provide a customized spreadsheet to estimate your clinic volume and profits.

Increased utilization of a cost-effective formulary is just as important for cash patients as it is for insured patients. Your cash patients rely on you to provide as much healthcare as you can and to keep their costs down.
