What happens if my pharmacys regular price is lower than the negotiated price?
A.The pharmacist should submit the regular price to the processor. The processor allows only the lower of the regular price or the negotiated price. (It is not uncommon for some stores to advertise “loss leader drugs” – drugs that they are willing to lose money on to encourage customers to come to their pharmacy.) If your drug is advertised at a lower price than the negotiated price the pharmacist should submit the advertised price to the processor. Processing is needed for safety checks of your drug profile.
