Frequently Asked Questions

AAPA is a group purchasing organization (GPO) for independent pharmacies, created in 1996 and built and operated by independent pharmacists for independent pharmacists. Its goal is to bring new and first-to-market insights, programs, tools, and advocacy to independent pharmacy members.
The core benefit is pricing: higher profitability through deep brand and generic drug discounts and rebates. Membership also includes special discounts from leading vendors, advocacy for your pharmacy's role across the care continuum, business strategy guidance on new opportunities, asset building, and exit planning, plus education and training on industry updates and best practices. Members also get business insights from AAPA's board of pharmacy owners who understand the goals and challenges independents face.
AAPA members get discounted access to a wide range of trusted partners across the areas independent pharmacies rely on most, including pharmacy supplies, pharmacy management systems, returns and compliance support, financing, professional association memberships, pharmacy networks, and employee benefits. Members also have access to AdvantEdge™, a platform that helps pharmacies track their generic compliance ratio (GCR%), spot and fix challenges, and grow profits. Its easy-to-read dashboards and near real-time metrics support more proactive buying decisions.
Yes. Through the AAPA Edge™ Referral Program, members earn $1,000 for each referred pharmacy that achieves $100,000 or more per month in purchasing volume, reaches a Generic Compliance Ratio of 10% or higher, and stays an active member for at least 90 days.
