Turning the Tables on Drug Pricing With Marc Essensa & Darren Thieding

Drug pricing has been a long-standing issue for independent pharmacies, but the tables are starting to turn. Thanks to organizations like IPC, the industry’s largest GPO, independents can finally get a fair deal. In this episode, we meet with IPC executives Marc Essena and Darren Thieding to talk all things drug pricing. We discuss how rebates can be as bad as DIR fees, how making a plan is harder than executing it, and how IPC is helping shape the future of independent pharmacies. Tune in to learn about how you can save thousands on wholesale drugs, get a discount on next-day drug shipments, and improve your pharmacy’s finances.
