Abstract:
A method of distributing and tracking donated prescription medicines includes a pharmaceutical donor donating in-kind pharmaceutical products to a non-profit organization which then transfers the donated pharmaceutical products to a pharmaceutical distributor. An electronic record is established indicating a credit with pharmaceutical distributor in favor of the non-profit organization. After a pharmacy has distributed a pharmaceutical to an eligible patient, the pharmacy notifies the non-profit organization of the transaction and the non-profit organization authorizes the pharmaceutical distributor to apply to the credit to the benefit of the pharmacy.
