Pharmaceutical Bluebook Benefits
|
In 1958 an entrepreneurial chemist identified a need to offer a
medicine price to fellow pharmacists and the Pharmaceutical BlueBook was launched.
An ever-increasing supply of medicines with regularly changing prices
ensured that the pharmaceutical and medical industry soon relied
heavily on this publication and its relevance has remained ever
since. Over the many years, the Pharmaceutical BlueBook cc has become
renowned for supplying the industry with independent and accurate
price lists. Publication of the Blue and Green Books became the
central activity of Pharmaceutical BlueBook cc. |

- The on-line database is updated as soon as changes are received from the pharmaceutical manufacturers, who supply the information directly to Pharmaceutical BlueBook cc. In this way the database is kept up to date on a daily basis reducing the possibility of medical aid rejections through incorrect pricing.
