HDMA survey of specialty distribution: Sales to physicians' offices have dropped by 66% - Pharmaceutical Commerce

• Register now to take a Board-approved California Designated Representative training course for:
         Wholesalers | 3PL | Reverse Distributors

HDMA survey of specialty distribution: sales to physicians' offices have dropped by 66% - Pharmaceutical Commerce:

"A recap helps explain: Specialty pharmaceuticals differ from traditional pharma products in that they tend to be “high touch”—needing numerous ancillary services such as infusion, monitored dispensing, REMS, or followup care. As they tend to be expensive, the reimbursement / prior authorization / patient-support questions are also complex. Oncology products, in particular, have traditionally been purchased under a “buy and bill” model by physicians’ practices, but this is fading (as the HDMA date show) in place of sales to specialty pharmacies and health systems."

Full-line distributor sales topped $300 billion in 2012 - DQSA lot/item level tracking stats

Full-line distributor sales topped $300 billion in 2012, representing 91% of pharma sales - Pharmaceutical Commerce:

"The Factbook contains operational details often of high interest to vendors serving wholesalers’ infrastructure needs. One particular number to call out: two out of three HDMA members are already tracking lot-level barcodes through their systems for at least some of their products. Lot-level tracking is now the centerpiece of the Drug Quality and Security Act, which will mandate such tracking over the next four years. Data on item-level tracking (the next stage in DQSA) is occurring, but at significantly lower percentages."
