Requesting samples from drug companies is another great way of adding value to a patient’s membership without undercutting any sort of income or profit from your clinic. It allows you to get your hands of some pretty expensive drugs for free, and distribute them to your patients as they need them. Because your patient panel is generally going to be quite a bit lower than your normal medical institution (600 as opposed to 3000), these samples go quite far.
Registering with drug companies online is going to be the easiest route when it comes to getting your hands on samples.
Different companies offer different samples, so it’s important to sign up for as many as are useful to you to diversify your offerings. Below are some that we find helpful:
