Pharmacy Profit Ratios:

There are a number of components that need to be considered when deriving a pharmacy’s realistic business value. Two of those components are the sales and profit ratios. We know that because of the aging population and the introduction of new drugs that, in general, most Nevada pharmacies are seeing an increase in sales. However, because of imposed federal regulations and other market conditions, net profit ratios are typically experiencing decline even though sales are increasing.

Reimbursements:

Reimbursements have been reduced and this is negatively impacting the pharmacy owner’s profit. Additional cuts in pharmacy reimbursements are expected. On top of that, some states have become slower in paying the reimbursements. With many states getting into financial difficulties themselves, Nevada pharmacy owners will need to plan for the possibility of slower cash flow, or even an interruption of the reimbursement payments.

Medicare/Medicaid:

When a pharmacy business has a larger portion of prescription sales in Medicare/Medicaid then the cuts in reimbursements, and slower payments, will have a more profound effect on the pharmacy owner’s net profits. Some owners, out of necessity, will require the use of funds from accounts receivable financing, or some other type of financing.
