APC is launching five new benefits for our Pharmacy-Facility members to help you and your business prosper. (If you’re a pharmacy owner but not a PFM, you should probably think about signing up.)

Here’s a brief overview, and you can click here for more details on all the new benefits:

What’s new?

• UniPen best pricing: Thanks to our agreement with Love Lifesciences, PFM members are able to buy popular UniPen self-injectors at a discount — “industry-best pricing.” UniPens are a great way to make sure your patients are self-administering properly, and to increase their adherence. 
• A 20% discount (and PFM-only group pricing) on the Conduit AI Chat Companion: It’s not just another AI chatbot. Conduit’s AI is specifically trained on the latest, most accurate information that compounding pharmacists need. In a nutshell, you have 24/7 access to an expert on compliance, compounding calculations, SOPs, and more. Try it yourself at pharmacycompounding.ai or watch some short video examples here.
• Certification report review from Veteran Scientific: The vast majority of certification reports have errors, but you can catch them before submitting yours with a certification review. The Compounding Facility Certification Surveillance (CFCS) program will give an expert review of your certification reports. PFM members get best pricing on the program, which includes an in-depth review, help with remediation (and even contract renegotiation), reassessment of their environmental sampling plan, and more. That’s just for starters — there’s ongoing review and even training assistance. 
• We have two new ways to help you lower your credit card processing fees and achieve a 2.5% – 2.8% overall effective rate:
  • • A new deal with CashierLive for POS and merchant services to help our Paladin and RxDispense customers.
    • Lower negotiated rates with HealNow for online and card-not-present transactions if you don’t have LegitScripts accreditation.

And we’re working on adding tools to the toolbox — more to come next month!

These are in addition to the long list of benefits that PFMs already receive, making PFM membership a no-brainer for large and small compounding pharmacies (and chains).
