Stop the Madness and Streamline your DSCSA Compliance with BestRx

Posted on Mar 04, 2025

Achieving full DSCSA compliance doesn’t have to drive you mad, with BestRx by your side, you’re supported every step of the way. We understand there’s a lot of information out there surrounding the compliance requirements and we want to ensure we make this process as easy as possible for you and your pharmacy. To help, we’ve outlined everything you need to know to become fully compliant in 2025.

What is DSCSA & Why is it Important:

The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) outlines steps to identify and validate certain prescription drugs at the package level electronically as they enter the U.S. supply chain. This process is intended to prevent harmful or illegitimate drugs from making their way into the hands of patients, through quick detection and prompt removal processes.

While your pharmacy has some time before all DSCSA requirements take effect, certain components are already in effect. In fact, your pharmacy can be audited for compliance with the requirements outlined in the first and second phases of the law. We’ve also been informed that some payors are potentially penalizing pharmacies that are not DSCSA compliant. We strongly recommend working towardsfull DSCSA compliance right now, as pharmacies will soon be required to:

  • Verify trading partners and obtain Global Location Numbers (GLNs).
  • Collect, reconcile, and store all T-3 data for a minimum of 6 years.
  • Confirm all products have unique product identifiers. Identify and investigate any suspicious products.
  • Report illegitimate products to the FDA. Maintain DSCSA procedure and policy documentation.

How BestRx is helping:
