Stop Sending GLP-1 Patients Somewhere Else
GLP-1 prescriptions are one of the fastest growing segments in the pharmaceutical industry today. Too often independent pharmacies are forced to send patients elsewhere, losing both the prescription and the opportunity to remain the primary healthcare destination point for your patients because the reimbursement does not make financial sense.
That should not be your only option.
Through IPC’s Digital Health initiative, we are introducing a new program designed to you create a smarter strategy for GLP-1’s and select brand-name prescriptions, so you can protect your margin with profits of $50 or more on select prescriptions, keep your patients in your pharmacy and continue serving as the local healthcare hub your community depends on.
Your Patients Already Trust You. Keep Them with You.
When a patient cannot fill a GLP-1 prescription profitably at your pharmacy, everyone loses.
- You lose the prescription.
- You lose the opportunity to counsel that patient.
- You lose a touchpoint that could strengthen their loyalty to your pharmacy.
- And your patient may be pushed toward a chain, manufacturer-direct option or online alternative instead.
IPC believes independent pharmacy should remain a key component of patient access to healthcare. This program is built around that belief.
It is not just about one prescription.
It is about keeping your pharmacy at the center of care.
A GLP-1 Strategy Built for Independent Pharmacy
This program gives IPC members and eligible warehouse purchasing affiliates a way to evaluate select GLP-1 and brand-name prescription opportunities that may help improve margin while keeping patients connected to your pharmacy.
For many pharmacy owners, GLP-1 prescriptions have felt like a no-win situation. You either fill them at a loss, send the patient elsewhere or watch the patient bypass your pharmacy entirely.
IPC Digital Health is working to change that.
This Program Can Help You:
More Than GLP-1s
GLP-1s are the starting point because they are one of the biggest pain points facing independent pharmacies today.
But this program may also create opportunities across a broader list of select brand-name medications.
The goal is simple: help you identify prescriptions that may have stronger reimbursement opportunities and help your pharmacy capture more value from the patients you already serve.
Why It Matters
- Patients are still coming to you for advice.
- They still trust your team.
- They still see your pharmacy as part of their healthcare journey.
The question is whether the prescription stays with you.
This program is designed to help make that answer “yes” more often.
