| Overview | Pharmacy Accumulations

Overview

The Pharmacy Accumulations page displays the number of packages available to purchase per account type (340B, GPO, WAC). The frequency by which a drug accumulates is determined by the BUPP (Billing Units Per Package) defined per NDC in your Crosswalk. The amount of accumulations for a drug is determined by its utilization history (packages utilized minus packages purchased). Go to Overview > Pharmacy Accumulations to access the Pharmacy Accumulation page.

The following actions are completed on the Pharmacy Accumulations page:

• View Accumulation Details
• Accumulation Tracker
• Add Drugs to Orders
• Do Not Order
• Add Manual Adjustments
• NDCs with Secondary Accumulations

Filter Options

To filter packages and export accumulation data on the Filter Options panel:

• Select the packages displayed: Full, Partial, or Negative:

• Full displays only full accumulations per NDC. It does not include partial or negative accumulations.
• Partial displays only partial accumulations per NDC (e.g., an NDC BUPP of 30. In order to have a full accumulation, you must dispense 30 tablets. If you have only dispensed 21 tablets, that is a partial accumulation).
• Negative displays only negative accumulations per NDC. (e.g. You purchased 12 packages of a NDC when you only had 9 accumulations. The remaining 3 packages are considered negative accumulations).  

The Filter Options panel remains visible (left image below) by default on the Overview/Pharmacy Accumulations page.  You can collapse (right image below) the Filter Options panel by clicking the drop-down arrow.

Search Option/Text

The Search field is available in the left panel within Filter Options.  When the Overview/Pharmacy Accumulations page loads, all Packages with Full accumulations display by default.  You can focus this view by making a Search Option selection from the following: NDC, NDC Description, RX Number, Item Number, or CDM.

The Search Text field works in conjunction with the Search Option selection. Once you type the text, which can range from complete to partial information, in the Search Text field, click Refresh to load the data.

For example to view accumulations that contain the word acetaminophen as part of the NDC Description, select the Search Option: NDC Description, and in the Search Text field, type acetaminophen.  Click Refresh. The results include NDC Descriptions that contain the word acetaminophen, see the examples below.

• Acetaminophen 160MG/5 ML
• BUTALBIT-Acetaminophen 5-325
• HYDROCODONE-Acetaminophen SOLN
  
  

To clear the search, remove the contents from the Search Text field. Change the Search Option to –Please Select--, and click Refresh.

Column Filters

You can further filter the searched data in one or more of the page columns.  

To add a filter, type the filter value in an appropriate filter value field, click the filter button, and then select a filter option to reload the page. You can continue to add filters until you are satisfied with the results.

To remove a filter, click the filter button, and select the No Filter option. This will remove the filter and reload the page.
