Online Prescriptions
Once a medical questionnaire is completed and paid for by the customer, it will be reviewed by Dr Fox doctors and if suitable a prescription will be issued online. Dr Fox is owned and operated by Index Medical Ltd which is registered with, and regulated by, the Care Quality Commission to provide prescriptions online. Full documentation can be provided to the pharmacy governing the legal and regulatory status of issuing prescriptions online.
Dispensing
Pharmacies are given their own secure and encrypted login area to view and print pending prescriptions, and can also be notified by email each time a new prescription is pending.
To dispensing the order the Pharmacist simply enters the parcel tracking number, which triggers a notification to the customer that their order has been dispensed.
Despatch
Medications must be despatched by Royal Mail recorded delivery (UK only).
Reimbursement from Dr Fox
Pharmacies invoice Dr Fox, for branded or generic prescribing, the C+D price plus 10% or drug tariff price plus 10%, whichever is lower.
Dr Fox pays a minimum £3 where the calculated price (C+D price or drug tariff price plus 10%) is less than £3.
P&P charges are also reimbursed (to be discussed).
There is an easy-to-use automated invoicing system which will be explained to pharmacies as part of the onboarding process.
Accounting
Dr Fox has a proven and easy-to-use area for pharmacies to manage their online prescriptions which includes a monthly accounting and cost submission process.
The charge to Dr Fox for the cost of the medications and delivery can be entered for each prescription as they are dispensed, or at a later date. Previous costs for same items are 'remembered' so as to reduce admin in this area. Submitted costs are reviewed and the total paid direct to your bank account within 10 days of receipt.
