Question: How long does it take a pharmacy to supply the information that you need?

For each pharmacy, the time depends on the number of customers who participate in Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the number of prescriptions they obtained. We work with the pharmacy staff to find the most time effective way to gather the data. Many pharmacies print out the customer profiles and fax them to us. If a pharmacy has one or two customers who participate in MEPS, it can be faster and easier to give the information over the telephone. For pharmacies with many customers who participate in MEPS, we can provide a customer list in electronic format and accept data returned in electronic format as well.
