The Contract Pharmacy Fee Problem

Where Your 340B Savings Go

Per-prescription fees, monthly minimums, and platform costs that add up quickly for smaller programs.

Retail pharmacies charge 15-25% per prescription—that’s $150-$250 on a $1,000 medication, or $1,500-$2,500 on a $10,000 specialty drug. These fees add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per prescription for higher-cost brand and specialty medications.

Many manufacturers now limit contract pharmacy access, reducing the drugs available through these arrangements.

Rx Office Dispensing: Keep More of Your 340B Savings

By dispensing directly from your clinic, you eliminate contract pharmacy fees entirely and dramatically reduce TPA costs.

No more $15-25+ per-fill fees. When you dispense in-office, you keep the full margin on every prescription.

Office dispensing is not subject to the contract pharmacy restrictions that have limited access to many 340B drugs.

Fewer parties involved means simpler compliance tracking and reduced audit risk compared to contract pharmacy networks.

Perfect for Smaller Covered Entities

You don’t need a full pharmacy to capture 340B savings. Office dispensing works even when traditional pharmacy options don’t make sense.

Contract pharmacy minimum fees don’t make sense when you’re processing fewer prescriptions. Office dispensing scales with your actual volume.

No room for a full pharmacy? Office dispensing requires minimal space—often just a locked cabinet and small workflow area.

Can’t afford a full-time pharmacist? Physician dispensing allows your existing clinical staff to manage the program.

Limited local pharmacy options? Office dispensing provides your patients immediate access to medications without travel.

Building a pharmacy requires significant investment. Office dispensing has minimal startup costs and quick time to revenue.

Unlike building a pharmacy (12-18 months), office dispensing can often be operational in weeks with the right support.
