Are your profits walking out the door? Theft of small front-store items is one problem, but losses incurred from unpaid prescriptions can quickly erode a store's bottom line. It may be a case of a forgetful, valued customer or it may be theft. Either scenario is quickly and easily controlled and monitored with Assyst Point of Sale Rx Scanner.
With Rx Scanner, a UPC code can be generated for each prescription whenever there's a cost to the customer. The UPC code is printed on the existing prescription labels for easy tagging. By scanning the prescription's UPC code at the till, the transaction is quickly processed. The system eliminates keying errors and adds a professional look to operation.
At the time of filling, Rx Scanner offers users the option of releasing a bar-coded prescription to the front-store and adding it to the prescription-tracking file. A prescription remains on the tracking file until it's scanned and the transaction is finalized at a front till. The prescription can also be tagged as held until the customer picks it up. A quick scan of the prescription's bar code will release it to the tracking file.
At any time, staff pharmacists can quickly view a list of prescriptions that have been released to the front store but haven't yet been scanned at the till. A print-out of the unpaid prescription list provides all the information needed to contact specific customers.
Rx Scanner provides exact margins in the pharmacy department, and automatically puts any amounts owing by third party insurers directly into their accounts receivable.
Assyst Point of Sale Rx Scanner is just one more tool that helps pharmacies remain competitive. It eliminates the need for manual prescription tracking and helps prevent losses due to prescription walkouts.
