What is the blue banner? What is PharmSaver?
The blue banner is also sometimes displayed at the top of the page in the system (unless it has been minimized via the X in top right of the banner). PharmSaver is a service that helps pharmacies reduce cost by connecting pharmacies with independent wholesalers. With PharmSaver, wholesalers compete for your business by offering you short-dated inventory purchasing opportunities at substantial discount over your primary wholesaler.
To get started with PharmSaver, simply click on the PharmSaver logo in the banner. Doing so will
navigate the user to PharmSaver’s web application. Once there, select New Pharmacy on the
PharmSaver site (note that PharmSaver is a free service).
This notice will be displayed when there are “Short Date” purchasing opportunities currently available within PharmSaver that match those drugs (and generic equivalents) that are actively dispensed at the customer’s location(s). Further, the aggregate savings opportunity is calculated (using PharmSaver’s Short Date pricing and Datarithm’s forecast usage) and displayed within the blue banner.
Clicking on this figure will display line-item detail related to these short-dated buying opportunities.
