Pharmacy Accreditation

 

Let Us Help You Sort Through Your Many Pharmacy Accreditation Options

Accreditation is increasingly important and increasingly puzzling for pharmacies. We help you assemble your unique puzzle.

It wasn’t always like this, certainly. You get your licenses, you set up your pharmacy, and you’re up and running. However, if you are diving into the 21st Century with both feet, offering specialty medications, or doing some or all of your business by mail, your payers want you to be accredited.

But which accreditation? URAC? ACHC? Joint Commission? NAPB? More than one? And will specialty accreditation suffice, or should you also get mail service accreditation? Or both? How about Pharmacy Services, Specialty Physician Practice Dispensing, Rare Disease, Specialty Pharmacy Services, Infusion Pharmacy, Medicare Home Infusion Therapy Supplier, Opioid Stewardship, or other distinctions?

Our pharmacy accreditation consulting experts will help you sort through these decisions. And, once you decide, we’ll walk with you through the entire process, from application to the news that you’re now fully accredited.

Every senior member of our pharmacy accreditation consulting team is a former reviewer and veteran consultant. We’ve seen every kind of pharmacy go through accreditation, from the smallest to the largest.
