In this video series featuring HealthTrust pharmacy experts, learn about efficiencies and cost-saving strategies within topics like Specialty GPO, Pharmacy Distribution Models, and Pharmacy Reimbursements.
Specialty GPO
Specialty GPOs help providers manage high specialty medication costs. HealthTrust's innovative approach overcomes traditional GPO limitations, securing unique contracts in the specialty market.
“Specialty GPO is the highest cost and fastest growing category for most healthcare providers.”
– Alyssa Huff
Pharmacy Distribution Model
Hospitals and physician practices buy drugs from wholesalers, manufacturers, or compounding pharmacies. Understanding traditional, specialty, plasma, biologic, and oncology distribution is crucial.
“While a majority of pharmaceutical products and supplies are ordered through a wholesaler there are times when hospitals purchase direct from a manufacture or a 503A or 503B compounding pharmacy to service their needs.”
– Ken Gagnon
Pharmacy Reimbursement
As drug costs rise and insurance policies grow complex, pharmacy, finance, and billing staff must understand how facilities are reimbursed for drugs billed to medical benefits.
“In most circumstances, drugs are not reimbursed separately for inpatient stays.”
– Grant Teague
