The pharmacy industry is constantly changing and in order to survive and even thrive, you need to have an expert partner as your navigator.

For the last 40 years Independent Pharmacy Cooperative buying group (GPO) members have taken advantage of our Pharmacy Services support and business consultations as their navigator to solve three main challenges:

  1. What services should I offer and how do I get it up and running? (Expand Services)
  2. How can I make my operation more efficient and more effective? (Improve Operations)
  3. I need to grow. How do I market my store to my community? (Patient Acquisition)

IPC Members Succeed with Pharmacy Services Support and Consultation in the Following Areas:

Immunization Programs

Providing vaccines as a pharmacist is a great way to build additional revenue at your pharmacy. To help you get started on or improve your immunization program, we can help you understand how to promote your program and navigate the requirements and regulations in your state.

340B

The 340B program offers eligible healthcare providers access to low-cost medications, which allows them to expand the type and volume of care they provide to vulnerable populations. Pharmacy Services can help you understand the program rules and whether you are eligible.
