Kerrius,

So far my patients love it too. In two days I have already taken enough orders for "stock bottles" to order without a shipping fee. I too made labels (using Avery software) and simply write their name and date on the label (which already had the directions and drug name on it) and stick it to the bottle. I would guestimate I make $5-10 per script. I can track these meds in AC in the Meds section by simply putting a "DO" before the drug name, e.g DO Amoxicillin 500 mg.
I actually had a patient give me a hug and a kiss today because I saved her over $60 by dispensing 100 Lisinopril 20 mg which she
can cut in half. She got 200 doses for $12, I made $6. It took all of about 60 seconds to process. I have never seen patients whip out their cash or their checkbooks so quickly as I have the last 2 days. I track the manufacturer, lot number and expiration dates in my PM program using the packing slip which came with the drugs when shipped. When the front office ladies enter the charge/payment for the drug, they can quickly enter this info also. I am trying to figure a way to do that in AC but have not yet come up with a better solution. Right now, I can do a search for the drug in AC then cross-reference in the PM program should I need that info.
