Jerry Mann Questions and Answers to Reserve Distribution of Medication Service

1. Is there any historical Data for the disposal records for FY 2023 for the pharmacy GEMs program for an estimation on volume?

Pharmacy does not have any historical data for GEMS volume.

0. To provide a Fixed price not a per/lb rate an estimated volume is needed.

From previous service done there is an estimated volume of 131lbs.

1. Will the medications be current month expired or will there be up to 120 day future dated items included in shipment?

We pull items up to 90 days future dated. If the reverse distributor will take them that would be great.

1. How are cache medications handled?

All Cache are destroyed according to the facility local policy or are turned over to GEMS. VA pharmacies are prohibited from receiving credit on those medications.

1. Will these be included in the quote?

Cache items will should not be included in a quote.

1. The facility currently uses a pre-scanning software that determines on current Manufacturer policy what is returnable or not. Will the facility still request to use this software capability or will they just want to send back all drug items regardless of status?

Pre-determination of returnable will be conducted.

1. This will impact the weight quote.

No impact on the weight quote.
