PITTSBURGH, Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PANTHERx Specialty
Pharmacy®, THE Rare Disease Specialty
Pharmacy®, announced today that it has received the
Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS) accreditation
from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), an
association that works to ensure higher levels of public health and
safety by administering pharmacist assessment programs, pharmacists
license transfers, and pharmacy accreditations.
The VIPPS accreditation seeks to separate safe pharmacy websites
from the ever-increasing number of illegal pharmacy websites. To
achieve this accreditation, PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy®
had to demonstrate that it follows and satisfies the licensing and
inspection requirements in each state that the company practices
pharmacy, and that www.PantherSpecialty.com meets criteria outlined
by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
Receipt of the VIPPS accreditation from the NABP demonstrates a
commitment by PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy® to providing
an online presence that reflects the uncompromising quality of its
internal standards and practices. Patients searching for a pharmacy
online should not have to question the validity and safety of a
company, and the VIPPS accreditation helps provide a safer
community to connect patients with pharmacy.
"PANTHERx is committed to superior quality in patient and
partner service," states PANTHERx
Specialty Pharmacy® Chairman and CEO Dr. Gordon J. Vanscoy. "Achieving our fourth
accreditation, by VIPPS, is a validation of our focus, process and
results. We are proud to make this announcement today which is a
testament of PANTHERx excellence in every aspect of our business
and the care we deliver."
