Digital Pharmacy
Our Digital Pharmacy Accreditation has been accrediting pharmacies that uphold laws and meet professional standards of pharmacy care since 1999.
NABP’s Digital Pharmacy Accreditation is a 3-year accreditation for pharmacies that have a website offering at least one interactive pharmacy practice component (eg, patient counseling/communication, new/refills/transfer prescription orders, patient/prescriber portals). This accreditation proudly displays your ongoing commitment to providing quality health care and sound pharmacy practices over the internet.
Licensed pharmacies with a website(s) offering at least one digital pharmacy practice must first obtain and maintain accreditation through our Healthcare Merchant Accreditation program for each website to be eligible for Digital Pharmacy Accreditation.
Whether NABP accreditation is new for your business or you are already NABP accredited and are looking to expand your portfolio, our processes simplify your journey toward Digital Pharmacy Accreditation.
