ShipRx™

Includes the Credit Card Authorization Monitor Application (CCAM)

The Internal Revenue Service mandates that Flexible Spending Account Cards (FSA or flex cards) be processed only in pharmacies with an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS) in place. As a result of this requirement, pharmacies that process these cards will need to keep the flex card, and additional cards to cover items that are not FSA eligible, on file. This feature is also needed by pharmacies that process mail orders.

The NRx Pharmacy System, in conjunction with the QS/1 Point-of-Sale System, offers the fields necessary to store and verify multiple credit cards. The QS/1 Point-of-Sale System must use the PA-DSS compliant version of PaySentry® for storing the card data.

Many customers’ prescriptions are picked up, and paid for, by family members. These payors may use different credit cards and have different addresses than the patient. To protect customers and pharmacies from fraudulent transactions, and unnecessary processing fees from card companies, an Address Verification System (AVS) is used for verifying card information used for recurring billing.
