NEWS YOU CAN USE

Regarding Alternate Choice (AC) Slot Designation Changes:

To representatives of our valued customers and sales team:

In response to feedback from our sales team and customers, effective Wednesday, April 1, 2015, the Alternate Choice (AC) sub-categories CP, MF, PD, and NR will be eliminated. All Alternate Choice (AC) items will simply display as “1STP-AC” moving forward. This change is merely visual and does not affect substitution logic. As a reminder, AC-slot items do not substitute under standard OneStop substitution logic.

As we continuously strive to improve and simplify our OneStop program, we appreciate your partnership and invaluable feedback.

For questions please contact your ISM directly or at ISManagement@McKesson.com. This information will also be posted on McKesson Connect, in the weekly Newsletter, and communicated via Generics Connect campaign.

Sincerely,

The Independent Retail Program Team

Product Update: Generic Exforge Launch Exclusivity Expires 3/29, Switched Item Available 3/31

March 27, 2015

To representatives of our valued customers and sales team,

Effective Sunday, March 29, 2015, the 180-day exclusivity period for generic Exforge (amlodipine besylate, valsartan) will expire.  Please note, the supplier in the primary slot will be switched from Par to Mylan.

Pending FDA approval, we expect multiple players to enter the market resulting in a material price reduction. We anticipate inventory for the Mylan items will be available for purchase in McKesson Connect on Tuesday, March 31, 2015.  Please review and adjust your purchasing decisions accordingly.

For questions, please contact ISManagement@McKesson.com.    

Sincerely,

The Independent Retail Program Team

Regarding Price Assurance Promotion Search Capability:

To representatives of our valued customers and sales team,

Effective Wednesday, April, 1 2015, items eligible for the Price Assurance Promotion can be located in McKesson Connect by typing the term “priceassurance2015” in the search box (the search term is not case sensitive). We hope that this improvement will make it easier for customers to order and take full advantage of the Price Assurance Promotion.

As a reminder, the Price Assurance Promotion provides 30-day price assurance for McKesson OneStop Generics products, excluding controlled substances, in cases where a product’s WAC price increases by more than 20% in one day. We will continue to announce eligible products on or before the start date of the price assurance period.

For questions, please contact ISManagement@McKesson.com.  

Sincerely,

The OneStop Generics Team
