"Scoring high on the preference grade determines your rate. Health insurers use that grade as a means to keep costs down. As Menzis writes on its website:"The preference policy ensures that the cost of medicines remains affordable.""

"As long as the preference policy remains in place - and it will be for the foreseeable future - it is important to participate and to score as high as possible because that helps determine your rate. But with the current shortages, that is quite a challenge."

"Network Pharmacies helps me keep a grip on the preference policy. On the front end, I get reports on preference changes so we can adjust the assortment in time. And on the back end, the advisory reports provide insight into missed preferred supplies, including the reason why. By filtering what was not available, you are left with exactly what you can manage. In this way you quickly track down structural errors in the procurement process and improve preference compliance step by step."

"My biggest eye-opener was the enormous range of reports. You often think that your process is watertight, but then it turns out that unconscious errors still creep in. Netwerk Apotheken gives you a grip on that process again."
