provides pharmaceutical companies and physicians with a safe, easy way to offer free samples.
PPSI's StarterScript, sample voucher system provides flexible solutions for all aspects of the sample program. In lieu of a physical sample, the physician gives a patient a voucher for a designated quantity of medication. The voucher for the patient's trial supply is accompanied by a prescription and can be redeemed at any of the nearly 50,000 retail pharmacies utilizing the PPSI adjudication system.
The pharmacist dispenses the "sample" from inventory and submits a bill for cost of goods plus a dispensing fee electronically--just as he/she would for any other prescription. The sponsor is charges based on the number of vouchers redeemed. StarterScript vouchers have no inherent value, eliminating diversion concerns. The system is a seamless process for the pharmacist with drug review provided for added safety.
