🚨 Breaking Discovery: $40+ Additional Revenue Per Vaccine

Independent pharmacies using DocStation's medical billing platform are achieving $40+ additional revenue per vaccine by routing claims to medical benefits instead of traditional PBM channels. This isn't incremental improvement—this represents transformational revenue increases that are rewriting the economics of pharmacy practice.


The Numbers That Are Changing Everything

Recent customer data reveals a stunning reality:

  • Traditional PBM Route: $15-20 per vaccine

  • Medical Benefit Route: $50-65 per vaccine

  • Your Additional Revenue: $40+ per dose

The math: Medical benefit reimbursement rates for vaccines average 132% higher than pharmacy benefit rates. Across a typical flu season volume, this translates to tens of thousands in additional revenue per pharmacy.


DocStation's Medical Billing Platform: Built for Maximum Revenue

Everything in our platform has been engineered to capture and maximize these revenue opportunities. Here's how each feature works together:

Pass Back Eligibility Verification

Real-time medical benefit verification embedded directly in your BIN billing workflow, with automatic Medicare Advantage coverage detection.

Why this matters: A growing number of Medicare patients have Advantage plan coverage, and vaccines must be billed to the Advantage plan, not Medicare Part B. Miss this detection, and you get a denied claim. Catch it with DocStation, and you get paid the first time.

Result: Eliminate denied Medicare claims and secure maximum reimbursement on first submission

DocStation Copilot Claim Summary

Our AI analyzes every rejected claim and provides specific, actionable guidance for resubmission. The industry advantage: it reads and interprets barely human-readable rejection data from payers and clearinghouses, then translates that into clear, step-by-step instructions.

While other platforms leave you guessing why claims were denied, DocStation Copilot tells you exactly what to fix and how to fix it.

Result: Recover revenue that would otherwise be written off as losses

Real-Time Medical Claim Creation

Validate and preview your medical claims on DocStation while they're fresh in your mind. See that claims are properly formed and ready to submit before you even leave the dispensing screen. All edits and adjustments are reflected in real-time.
