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.

PerformRx REMINDER: reminder that refills of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Schedule II (CII) Drugs are Prohibited

During a review of 2015 and 2016 claims processing of DEA schedule II (CII) prescription drug claims, PerformRx noticed an increase in the number of schedule II (CII) drugs being incorrectly billed as refills at the point of sale (POS). While this may have been due to an error in entering and submitting prescription claim information to PerformRx, efforts need to continually be made to prevent these types of errors as they can signal potential fraud, waste or abuse incorrectly. Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 829(a), refills of medications with a DEA schedule II (CII) designation are prohibited at POS.
