APC’s Pharmacy/Facility membership can pay for itself – and strengthen your ability to serve patients

APC’s Pharmacy/Facility membership – PFM, for short – is for owners and managers who want three things at once: 

  • Practical, day-to-day business savings through member-only pricing and preferred programs that can reduce core operating costs (payments, shipping, services, and more). 

  • A stronger national voice protecting patient access to compounded medications – with APC advocating in Washington and in state capitals so policymakers understand legitimate compounding and don’t “solve” access problems by restricting it. 

  • A better-informed team because all pharmacy employees become APC members and benefit from our information and services – and make better-informed decisions as a result. 

No exaggeration: It’s like writing yourself a check.

Here’s the simple claim: For many PFMs, the savings and value from included services can meet or exceed annual dues – sometimes with one operational change like credit card processing, shipping cost recovery, or accreditation savings.

If you want a back-of-the-napkin ROI test, start here:

  • Practical, day-to-day business savings through member-only pricing and preferred programs that can reduce core operating costs (payments, shipping, services, and more).

  • A stronger national voice protecting patient access to compounded medications – with APC advocating in Washington and in state capitals so policymakers understand legitimate compounding and don’t “solve” access problems by restricting it.

  • A better-informed team because all pharmacy employees become APC members and benefit from our information and services – and make better-informed decisions as a result. 

Direct savings first

  • Credit card processing group program (two paths):

    • WorldPay: APC-negotiated credit card processing option designed to deliver industry-best rates and meaningfully reduce processing costs – often the fastest way for a PFM to see “write yourself a check” savings.

    • Tabz: Yes, it’s a streamlined online payment experience for patients – but it also offers highly attractive credit card processing rates. For many pharmacies, Tabz can reduce processing costs while also improving the patient payment workflow.

  • Right-size your shipping costs with Shipment Trackers
    Helps recover lost money tied to shipping performance issues and supports smarter shipping spend through analytics, contract consultation, and freight optimization.

  • Taxes made easy with Medari Advisors (20% discount)
    a full-service tax and accounting firm specializing in independent pharmacies, with specific expertise in the operation of compounding pharmacies

  • Accreditation savings with Coalition for Compounding Excellence
    APC members can access Coalition for Compounding Excellence (CCE) accreditation with preferred pricing – often saving substantially compared with other accreditation programs. CCE is designed to be practical and pharmacist-led, with evaluators who understand real-world compounding operations and focus on helping pharmacies resolve issues and strengthen compliance.

  • Special pricing on TxtSquad plans (at least 20% off)
    Pharmacy-focused texting that can reduce phone tag and improve follow-through: refill reminders, pickup notifications, appointment reminders, payment nudges, and other patient communications that keep workflows moving.

    •  
  • Group purchasing power for employee benefits via Simple Benefits
    Access to group purchasing rates for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance through Simple Benefits.
    •  
  • Significant registration discounts on all APC conferences, events, and webinars
    PFMs and their employees receive meaningful registration discounts across APC education and events – making it easier to keep your team trained, connected, and current.

Compliance and risk reduction (avoid costly surprises)

  • NABP Survey of Pharmacy Law (annual $100 discount)
    Essential for pharmacies licensed in multiple states – a state-by-state compendium of pharmacy law and regulation, now available as an interactive online platform.


  • Alliance for Patient Medication Safety PSO (annual enrollment included)
    Supports continuous quality improvement – documenting and improving systems so your team can prevent repeat issues and demonstrate a disciplined, patient-safety forward culture. Importantly, PSO participation and the CQI structure it supports can help meet the requirement in many states that a pharmacy have a continuous improvement program/plan in place.
    •  
  • A free legal consult
    A free one-hour consultation annually, plus a reduced hourly rate for new clients with attorneys at Bendin, Sumrall & Ladner (compounding law/compliance).
    •  
  • Discounted PTCB services for technicians
    $5 off the PTCE and $10 off the Pre-PTCE.

Tools that improve margins and operations

  • Members-only Compounded Cost-Charge Tool (must log in to access)
    Included in your dues, APC’s calculator supports pricing decisions and internal cost-charge consistency – practical, owner-level utility.

    One initial trial subscription to The Pharmacist’s Letter and Pharmacy Technician’s Letter.
