When generic drugs or formulary products are dispensed, some third-party payers reward pharmacies by:

  1. paying a higher dispensing fee

  2. paying a lower dispensing fee

  3. charging patients a lower co-pay

  4. charging patients a higher co-pay

The correct answer is: paying a higher dispensing fee

When generic drugs or formulary products are dispensed, some third-party payers reward pharmacies by paying a higher dispensing fee. This is because generic drugs and formulary products are usually less expensive than brand-name drugs, allowing pharmacies to maintain their profit margins even with a higher dispensing fee. This incentivizes pharmacies to dispense more cost-effective medications, ultimately benefitting both the payer and the patient by lowering overall healthcare costs. Options B, C, and D are not correct because they do not align with how third-party payers typically incentivize the dispensing of generic drugs or formulary products.
