With every prescription we fill, PharMerica employs cost-saving technologies to help facilities significantly lower cost while increasing the quality of care. From dispensing quantity limits on higher cost brand or specialty medications to our automatic split-billing service when a resident changes payers and price forecasting tools that show lower-cost alternatives before you order.
