Math we love

When you’re an APC Pharmacy/Facility Member, there’s a long list of benefits to check out. But if you take advantage of just a couple of the bigger ones, those may literally* save you enough to pay for your membership and more. 

Tabz credit card processing (and more)

Tabz — formerly HealNow — is a fully integrated commerce and payments platform that can save you a heck of a lot. For starters, PFMs are guaranteed a processing rate no more than 2.75%, and (get this!) that rate will decrease as we add new members to the plan. Check that against what you’re currently paying your processor. We bet your current rate is higher. 

You can also use Tabz as a patient portal. It’ll handle copayments, let patients schedule deliveries, even let them get a consultation and buy supplements and OTC meds from any smart device. 

There’s no setup fee, no integration fee, and to make the transition easier, the first month is free for APC members.

Tabz lets you offer your patients and customers the kinds of online services that the big-name digital pharmacies offer theirs. Payments, messaging, refills, revenue — Tabz’ll do the heavy lifting.

Exclusive: CCE accreditation

Our newest benefit can not only save you a lot of money, it can do something better: save you time and hassle. 

Coalition for Compounding Excellence (CCE) is a new accreditation program from APC that can take the place of a bunch of separate accreditations, including that pesky multi-state licensure. And because it’s got compounding pharmacists doing the evaluations, they know your business and they’re there to help you resolve any issues and keep your compliance solid (and save you money at the same time — win-win).

Shipment Trackers

You can trust your package carriers 99% of the time, but that last 1%? Maybe they owe you a refund of two. Maybe a few packages don’t make it to their destination on time. Or maybe you don’t have the best contract.

That’s what Shipment Trackers is for. It’ll do a transportation audit for you (yes, that’s a thing) and see where you might be able to save some cash and even improve your service. That’s just the start. It offers parcel insurance (including against “extreme temperature events,” consultations with your carriers, and as much analytics as you’re willing to pore over. 

Fun fact: Just reviewing your UPS and FedEx audits for late delivery credits can save you 10 to 15 percent on your shipping expenses.

The point is, a lot of benefits come with being an APC PFM — these three are just the tip of the iceberg. Service discounts, educational materials and training, APMS membership, and more, with new benefits being added every year. PFMs can save some serious money — easily more than your dues.
