ABSTRACT:
A centralized pharmacy business method includes forming a business alliance between a centralized pharmacy, one or more satellite pharmacists/facility directors, and a shipping service. Optionally, the centralized pharmacy and the shipping service are located “end of runway,” which means that the shipping service is co-located with or in close proximity to the centralized pharmacy. The satellite pharmacists/facility directors may accrue incentives based on recruiting one or more customer bases. Maintenance prescription orders are received and filled by the centralized pharmacy and delivered to the respective customer base. Acute prescription orders are received and filled by the satellite pharmacy of the pharmacists/facility directors near the customer base and may be delivered to the respective customer base.
