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.

CVS/caremark: Medicare Part B vs. Medicare Part D Point-of-Service Assistance

SecureRx PDP

RXBIN: 004336

RXPCN: MEDDADV

RXGRP: RXCAP

As required by CVS/caremark, for drug products that potentially qualify under

Part B or Part D, a pharmacy provider must promptly obtain any necessary

information from the enrollee or prescriber to properly submit the drug for

processing (e.g., to the Part B plan or the Part D plan). Pursuant to your

Medicare Part D contract, it is the responsibility of the pharmacy provider to

determine whether the drug is a Part B or Part D covered drug. Only a drug that

is determined to be a Part D claim should be submitted under the Medicare Part

D program.
