  • Publication number: 20040230502
    Abstract: A system and method for distributing healthcare products is disclosed. A patient who obtains a prescription from clinic such as a federally qualified 340B health clinic (FQHC) is entered into a retail pharmacy's computer as a third party patient. Prescription information is transmitted to a healthcare product distributor inventory tracking system where the retail pharmacy is credited at its original invoice cost for the product. The healthcare product distributor's system charges the FQHC for the product at the 340B price. The inventory system tracks each 340B product distributed. In some cases, the first time a product is dispensed, the FQHC is charged for a stock package size and subsequent prescriptions are tracked and applied against the original purchase until the amount dispensed equals or exceeds the stock package originally charged to the FQHC. Once the quantity dispensed exceeds the stock package size, the inventory accumulation process is restarted.
