Office Medications
Dispensing medications from physician offices was once a very common practice but because of regulations it diminished greatly.
With declining revenues, it is becoming an increasingly popular way to help cover overhead as well as assisting patients by obtaining medications easier and at a lower cost.
QuiqMeds QuiqMeds™ - Delivering Quality, Convenience and Value in prescription fulfillment at the point-of-care.is a unique vending machine approach that is 100 percent automated with the physician or office staff ordering a prescription by a touch screen. Patients then pick up their meds at the checkout desk.
The machine is locked down and no one at the practice can open it. Quiqmeds takes care of refilling and maintenance and the office collects a fee for the medication from the patient. Other dispensing companies work with the offices and will bill the insurance company for the medication. Patients would pay their co-pay just as they do at the pharmacy.

now isnt that neat! How many employees can that machine replace?!
It may not replace staff but it might add revenue to pay the staff you have
The July 6, 2008 article in the Intelligencer posted on their web site indicates a potential monthly profit of $500 per month. Vending machines have been tried and always fail as vehicles for physician dispensing. If a practice takes the time to learn how to dispense and make it part of the practice flow, costs can be lowered and profit should be nearer $4,000 per month per physician.
