Pharmacy Select
Comprehensive Backup Contract

Formed in 2001, Pharmacy Select is a comprehensive independent pharmacy backup purchasing program designed to support community pharmacies. A collaborative effort formed by the joining of two leading Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs): Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) and PPSC whose members have their primary wholesaler agreements through McKesson & Cencora.
Together, these two organizations bring decades of experience in the pharmacy industry. Pharmacy Select negotiates directly with manufacturers to offer competitive pricing and a comprehensive range of products to over 6,000 community pharmacies nationwide.
Pharmacy Select offers access to over 8,300 products, including both generic and branded medications. These medications are made available directly through your pharmacy’s existing ordering portal. This makes it easier for you to find the right products at competitive prices, ultimately improving your profitability and ability to serve your communities.
Why Choose Pharmacy Select?

Industry’s Premier Backup Contract
We offer the industry’s premier backup contract, giving you access to a wide range of products and competitive pricing that complements your primary wholesaler agreements. This ensures you always have the products you need, when you need them.
Improve Pharmacy Margins
At Pharmacy Select, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy profit margins. Our supplementary vendor contracts provide significant cost savings, ensuring your pharmacy remains competitive and profitable.


Enhance Your GCR
Our goal is to enhance your Generic Compliance Rate (GCR) by providing access to a vast selection of generic medications at competitive prices. This access to the Pharmacy Select contract runs through your primary wholesaler, enabling you to improve your GCR through additional McKesson or Cencora GenericRx spend. This not only improves your margins but also ensures you can offer affordable options to your patients.
Alternative Vendor Options Under Contract
Pharmacy Select partners with over 150 vendors, offering alternative vendor options under contract. This flexibility allows you to maximize your prime vendor agreements and maintain a consistent supply of essential products.
