The module agent

Henrique prepares the sale and the corporate agreement charge. The pharmacist dispenses.

Henrique Lobo checks the drug manufacturer’s program at the time of sale, verifies the covered employee’s limit and requests the Farmácia Popular authorization. At month-end, he prepares the invoice for each partner company. Dispensing is the pharmacist’s role, and the close of each corporate agreement waits for finance’s approval.

The September close for Metalúrgica Alfa is ready: 37 covered employees, 112 purchases, R$ 6,418.30. Every purchase stayed within each employee’s limit. The invoice shows the amount per employee, without the list of medicines. It goes to the company once finance approves it.

Drugstore

Manufactured medicines, priced within the CMED ceiling.

Manufactured medicines and off-the-shelf products come in by barcode, in the same product catalog as the rest of the pharmacy. Each price-regulated medicine carries the maximum consumer price (PMC) that CMED publishes for your state’s ICMS rate, and any sale above it is rejected. The sale goes through the counter register and gets an NFC-e or NF-e, like every ready-made product.

Anvisa registration, barcode, type (reference, generic or similar) and label stripe in the product record

PMC at your state’s ICMS rate, updated with each new CMED list

The pharmacy’s price is set by the person accountable for sales, always within the PMC

An up-to-date price list available to customers and to Procon, the consumer protection agency

Prescription medicines are only sold with the prescription, which the pharmacist reviews

Controlled substances only with the prescription the regulation requires, with record-keeping and submission to SNGPC

Programs and corporate agreements

Drug manufacturer discounts and purchases billed to the employer.

Drug manufacturers’ programs (PBM)

A customer enrolled in a drug manufacturer’s program gets the discount on the spot. Henrique checks the program with the customer’s CPF, records the authorization and the discount, and keeps the receipt with the sale.

Corporate agreements with companies

The partner company pays for its employees’ purchases at the end of the month. Each covered employee has the limit agreed with the company, and a purchase that would exceed it is rejected at the register.

Monthly invoice

At the close, Henrique prepares each company’s invoice, with the amount for each covered employee. Finance approves, and the invoice goes into accounts receivable.

Reconciled payouts

Payouts from drug manufacturers’ programs and Farmácia Popular go into the branch’s accounts receivable, and Leonardo reconciles them with the bank statement.

What stays with people

Henrique prepares. People dispense, set prices and approve.

01

Dispense the medicine

The pharmacist reviews the prescription and dispenses the medicine, through a program, a corporate agreement or Farmácia Popular. Counseling the patient is the pharmacist’s role.

02

Set the prices

The person accountable for sales sets the price of each medicine, always within the PMC, and approves the discounts and terms of each corporate agreement.

03

Approve the close

Finance approves each corporate agreement’s invoice before it goes to the company. Reversing a wrong sale is approved by the manager, and the original stays in the history.

Questions about the drugstore and corporate agreements.

No. The module serves compounding pharmacies that also sell manufactured medicines, in the same store or at a branch.
Each price-regulated medicine carries the CMED PMC at your state’s ICMS rate, updated with each new list. The pharmacy’s price is set by the person accountable for sales, and any sale above the PMC is rejected at the register.
VUpharma integrates with the companies that run drug manufacturers’ benefit programs. In the demo, we confirm the ones your pharmacy uses.
No. Only a branch accredited to the program by the Ministry of Health. At the others, Farmácia Popular stays turned off. Every sale follows the program’s rules and goes through the pharmacist.
The company receives the amount each covered employee spent, without the list of medicines, because that list can reveal health data, which the LGPD protects as sensitive data. Marketing messages only go to people who have opted in.
