Physician Dispensing Services

InstyMeds is much more than a machine plugged into a wall.  It is a machine plugged into a system.

Services include:


InstyMeds Prescription Medication Dispenser
A fully automated, ATM-style prescription medication dispenser that allows patients to receive their acute prescription medications at the point-of-care without adding additional work for staff.

Dispenser Maintenance
Maintenance is included as part of the InstyMeds services. 

InstyMeds Prescription Writer
An easy-to-use electronic application is used to send the prescription directly to the InstyMeds dispenser or to print a prescription to be taken to a retail pharmacy.

Packaging
The medication inventory for the InstyMeds dispenser is prepackaged and purchased from InstyMeds.  After the initial order of medications, additional medication is automatically shipped by InstyMeds when supplies reach a predetermined level.

System Networking
Through the use of an HL7 interface, patient information is automatically transferred to the InstyMeds application. (A manual registration process is also available.)

Inventory Management
InstyMeds tracks medication inventory and dispensing history real-time without any manual tracking.  This real-time tracking allows InstyMeds to automatically ship inventory replenishments and monitor expiration dates.

Reporting
The real-time automated tracking creates a variety of detailed reports.

Accounts Receivable
InstyMeds determines the insurance co-pay or the cost of the prescriptions for the patient and then processes the patient's payment using a credit card, debit card, or cash.

Formulary Management
InstyMeds will help you to customize your formulary of medications to meet the needs of your facility and patients. The InstyMeds dispenser holds up to 102 sleeves of medications.

The InstyMeds dispenser is capable of labeling and dispensing nearly any form of medication including tablets, capsules, inhalers, sprays, creams and ointments, suspensions and syrups.

Security
The InstyMeds dispenser has a webcam inside allowing the 24/7 InstyMeds Call Center to know if a system connection has been lost.  In addition, the real-time inventory tracking ensures all medications will be monitored.

Pharmacist Services
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are available for consultation to you or your patients 24/7.

Adjudication
Insurance approval is obtained real time once the prescription is entered electronically by the prescriber.  By the time the patient reaches the InstyMeds dispenser, the claim has been adjudicated and the insurance co-pay has been determined.  If there is an insurance issue, an InstyMeds technician may communicate with the patient via the phone on the InstyMeds dispenser.  The system is accepted by nearly all third-party payers.

If a patient doesn’t have prescription benefits, a cash price will be calculated for medications to be dispensed.  The healthcare facility may elect to provide the prescription medications at no cost to the patient (compassionate care).

24/7 Call Center
The InstyMeds dispenser has a direct dial telephone that immediately connects patients with the InstyMeds Call Center, manned by pharmacy technicians and pharmacists. The call center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to answer patient questions regarding their medication, how to use the dispenser and insurance coverage.  Patients are also able to contact the InstyMeds Call Center after they leave the healthcare facility if they have additional questions.
