For the fastest and easiest way to bill Medicare for vaccines administered to Medicare Part D beneficiaries.

The primary responsibility of physicians is their patients' health. However, fulfilling this duty is becoming increasingly difficult. Physicians face the challenges of compliance with government requirements, communicating administrative data with payors, and other real-world business considerations.

IntroducingeDispense, a powerful portal solution developed by POC Network Technologies (PNT). eDispense is a complete easy-to-learn, easy-to-use web-based point-of-care solution. It boasts numerous features that give physicians previously unimagined flexibility in the provision of drug benefits.

Medication Management.PNT's eDispense application is a web-based tool that helps physicians easily and efficiently administer and dispense medications and vaccines within their office. eDispense tracks patient utilization and dispensing history and provides complete online inventory management. It also allows physicians to manage multiple "site specific" inventories, enjoy real-time reporting with a variety of sorting options, reorder with min/max inventory controls, print labels and barcodes at the click of a mouse, and enjoy FDA-, DEA- and State Pharmacy Board-compliant tracking of all program utilization.

PNT Provider Networks: Participation in a PNT Provider Network provides physicians access to reimbursement contracts with most of the top payors (PBMs, PDPs, MAPDs, etc.) in the country. Using eDispense, PNT Provider Network members connect to all contracted payors, eliminating the need for physicians to contract individually with each individual payor.

Claims Management:eDispense covers claims-processing for third-party payors, including worker's compensation and Medicare Part D plans. The portal calculates in real time provider reimbursements and patient financial responsibility. The entire coverage inquiry and claims submission process takes less than a minute to complete. Claims are reimbursed to providers at the end of each month along with an easy-to-read statement that identifies each individual payment amount from each individual payor.

Inventory Management. The eDispense Inventory Manager application provides complete online inventory management and tracks prescriptions, drugs dispensed in the office, drug samples, and virtually any other commodity the physician or office manager wishes to track. This application also allows physicians to manage multiple "site specific" inventories, enjoy real-time reporting with a variety of sorting options, reorder with min/max inventory controls, and print labels and barcodes at the click of a mouse. To aid in compliance, the eDispense Inventory Manager application tracks patient utilization and dispensing history, thus helping providers to practice in accordance with State Pharmacy Board, FDA, DEA, and Prescription Drug Marketing Act requirements.

Sample Management. PNT's eDispense portal provides the appropriate regulatory oversight for managing manufacturer samples in accordance with Prescription Drug Marketing Act requirements. This functionality is vital, as non-compliance with PDMA requirements could severely restrict the ability of providers to supply samples from their offices and thus limit providers’ ability to provide beneficial drug therapies to their patients. Physicians are required by law to track the distribution of manufacturer samples. However, until now there has been no accurate and hassle-free way for them to do so. With eDispense, physicians can track how samples are being prescribed, who is using them, and how the samples can be more effectively managed. Specifically, eDispense assists manufacturers and physicians as they seek to comply with the Prescription Drug Marketing Act 187 21 CFR, parts 203 and 205, including PDMA requirements for drug sample distribution, storage and handling.

Increased quality of service. Physicians who use eDispense have a higher quality of service. Not only is there a reduction in pharmacy callbacks, errors and paperwork, but there is greater convenience for patients, greater therapy compliance, and, above all, greater patient health.
