The COVID-19 pandemic has had widespread effects across the healthcare industry. Affecting everything from patient care and drug shortages to financial pressures and expanding regulatory guidelines, COVID-19 is estimated to cause American hospitals and healthcare organizations to lose an average of $50.7 billion per month, according to the AHA.  

One of the hardest–hit areas is independent pharmacies. The NCPA highlighted their struggle in a recent survey, indicating that 88% of community pharmacy owners are looking to apply for COVID-19 federal aid, such as provisions from the CARES Act. Additionally, two-thirds (66%) of the 511 pharmacy owners that took part in the survey shared that they were experiencing negative cash flow issues. 

To help solve their financial hardships, more and more pharmacies are turning to Rapid Credit programs to receive credit fast in the wake of the pandemic. Rapid Credit programs offer the fastest reverse distribution credits available on expired pharmaceuticals. With a Rapid Credit program, pharmacies can improve their cash flow through: 

  • Quick credit on returned drugs
