BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy accredited by ACHC, VIPPS

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — BioPlus Specialty Pharmacy on Tuesday earned accreditation from two important industry accrediting bodies: Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites and Accreditation Commission for Health Care.

 

“These renewals of our accreditations demonstrate our commitment to excellence in our products, services, and patient outcomes,” stated Nick Maroulis, VP specialty pharmacy services at BioPlus. “It’s one more way that BioPlus can let our patients, providers, and insurance payers know that our company is committed to the highest level of quality and accountability.” 

 

ACHC, a not-for-profit independent organization established in 1986, is one of a small number of accrediting bodies for the specialty pharmacy industry.

ACHC accreditation indicates that the organizational management, internal processes, patient safety practices and service outcomes at BioPlus meet the highest standards.
