What is VAWD?

Have you ever wondered what all of the "VAWD" talk is all about?

VAWD stands for Verified Accredited Wholesale Distributor.
This status is awarded by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy to pharmaceutical wholesalers who meet their stringent requirements. Keltman is proud to say that we achieved this status in 2008.
Applicants for VAWD undergo a lengthy inspection process which includes compliance & policy review, license verification, an on site survey, and background checks.
Keltman is licensed in 19 states and is expanding its operations nationwide. Keltman is one of the few wholesalers in its industry segment to earn this esteemed award.

Why Should You Dispense?
If you are already dispensing, then you are on the right track! If you are not dispensing from your office, you should strongly consider contacting us.
There are several reasons why you should at least look into dispensing:

• Physicians are getting hit with such dramatic reimbursement cuts everywhere
• Everyone is in a hurry these days -so their time is restricted!
• Costs for your practice are increasing daily

So we have the solution: IN OFFICE DISPENSING

• Patients find it very convenient to receive their medication on site & they love not having to wait at the pharmacy.
• You can strengthen physician/patient relationship.
• You will be more compliant & your patients will get back to work sooner.
• You will most likely attract new patients due to the convenient service you provide when dispensing.
• You will see a significant return on investment. Your can increase your clinic revenue!

Please contact us today at 1-800-325-0903 or email me at lpatterson@keltman.com for more information on in house dispensing.
