They can also make confidential assessments of medication and services and thus contribute to the improvement of care processes.
Increasing drug safety

The supply is processed on the same day by the pharmacy cooperating with APST. As the partner pharmacies specialize in APST patient groups, the medication is always in stock or available for immediate delivery. Medication that has already been prescribed can be conveniently reordered by telephone.

How can I participate in APST’s medication management?
To use the services of APST, patients sign the declaration of consent to participate in APST. You will receive the document from APST.
Registration of co-payment exemption
The services of APST are free of charge. Due to legal decisions in the healthcare sector, pharmacies are obliged to collect co-payments for medication from people with statutory health insurance and pass them on to the health insurance companies. If you are not exempt from co-payment of medication or are privately insured, you will receive an invoice from the cooperating pharmacy.
The partner pharmacies of Ambulanzpartner offer to electronically record the co-payment made and inform the patient when the co-payment limit has been reached. By confirming the co-payments made, the patient is able to submit the application for exemption from co-payments to the statutory health insurance fund.
