Since 1984, APCI has been the ‘united voice of independent pharmacy’

APCI began as a small buying group for a limited number of independent pharmacies in central Alabama. Since that time, the cooperative has grown to more than 1,800 members pharmacies in 26 states, and provides its members with a wide range of products and services.

Our mission is to represent the economic and professional interests of independent pharmacies by providing leadership, vision, and a collective voice for our members in the healthcare marketplace. Our goal is to level the playing field for our member pharmacies by providing innovative, targeted programs to benefit our entire membership.

EnvisionRxOptions: Revised 2016–2017 Retail Vaccination Reimbursement Schedule

The vaccines listed within the reimbursement schedule include this season’s flu vaccine and others, as determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). EnvisionRx has identified pricing increases as well as new drugs added per the CDC website. The 2016-2017 Retail Vaccine Reimbursement Schedule attached has been updated to reflect these modifications.

Each vaccine is associated with a GPI. You may administer any NDC associated with these GPIs and your reimbursement will be the amount seen in the "Total Reimbursement per Dose" column (Drug cost + Administration Reimbursement). The Addendum and corresponding reimbursement schedule was effective on September 12th, 2016.

As a reminder, in order for your Pharmacy to be reimbursed correctly, please submit claims as you would normally with the NDC code. You must enter "Dose (ml)" from your Attachment A-Reimbursement in the "Metric Decimal or Quantity Dispensed" field which appears as FIELD # 442-E7 on your Payer Sheet.

You must submit "MA" in the "Pro Svc Code, Professional Service Code" field which appears as FIELD # 440-E5 on your Payer Sheet. The administration fee of $15.00 must go in the "Incent Amt Sub, Incentive Amount Submitted" field which appears as FIELD # 438-E3 on your Payer Sheet.

For questions about our retail vaccine network, you may reach me via email at ProvRelContracting@envisionrx.com. Please include "Vaccine Program" in the subject line.
