Direct primary care and concierge medicine are built on a promise: more access, more transparency, and fewer middlemen. In-office medication dispensing extends that promise to the prescription itself. Dispensing your common generic medications lowers the cost of care for your patients, saves them a pharmacy trip, adds confidentiality, and strengthens the value of your membership — a high-value, low-cost addition to any direct care practice. Read more about the provider benefits and patient benefits of dispensing.
Fit dispensing to your membership model
There is no single right way to add medications to a DPC or concierge practice. PharmaLink supports the models practices actually use:
- Included in the membership fee. Fold a defined set of common medications into your monthly fee as a headline member benefit.
- A separate medication subscription. Offer a defined medication list as an add-on subscription with its own recurring price.
- At-cost pass-through. Pass medications through at your wholesale cost, giving members pharmacy-beating prices with total transparency.
Many DPC practices already offer discount programs on medications; dispensing directly is often cheaper still, and considerably more convenient for the patient. If you want to formalize tiers, recurring billing, and member benefits, PharmaLink’s membership management tools handle enrollment, automatic billing, and benefit tracking on the same platform you dispense from.
Built for lean clinics
DPC and concierge practices run lean by design, and the dispensing workflow respects that:
- Ready-to-dispense packaging. We offer thousands of common items in prepackaged, ready-to-dispense quantities — no pill counting and no manual labeling.
- Seconds, not minutes. Dispensing a medication takes 15–30 seconds, and the system prints the final compliant medication label automatically.
- Compliance handled. PDMP reporting is automatic in every state where PharmaLink operates, and the software keeps your labeling and record-keeping consistent with state requirements.
- Fast, guided setup. Credentialing and enrollment are fast and easy, we help you design the ideal formulary for your patient panel from more than 2,000 branded and generic medications, and your practice can be dispensing in as little as 3 business days after your completed application.
Restocking is just as light: order online in a few clicks, with free shipping on orders over $250 and delivery in 48–72 hours, so you can keep a small, efficient inventory.
Extend your reach with home delivery
For members you see virtually, or for medications you prefer not to stock, add mail order and home delivery. You gain a much wider formulary with no additional inventory, and prescriptions ship directly to the member’s home or to your office for pickup — a natural companion for telehealth-heavy direct care practices.
