Dispensing Medicines as a Physician Ancillary Program
Business executive Chris Manfuso serves as a national director of sales of sister pharmaceuticals companies, Enovachem Pharmaceuticals and Nubratori RX. Chris Manfuso also owns Physician Ancillary Management where he offers ancillary programs, such as medication dispensing, to private physicians.
Medication dispensing as an ancillary program provides convenience to patients while allowing them to be fully compliant with the required medicines since they walk out of the doctor’s office with the medicine already on their hands.
The medicines are prepackaged with the set amount of dosage, which eliminates the need for an on-site pharmacist. When a patient avails of the medication dispensing ancillary service, a staff receives the doctor’s prescription, chooses the right packets, and hands over the medicines to the patient before leaving the office.
The doctor can virtually include all the medicines he or she can prescribe in the medication dispensing list. This is to ensure that the ancillary program can pay itself off. Accordingly, ancillary programs, such as medication dispensing, take six months to recover the startup costs.
