How are insurance claims processed?

Claims are submitted electronically via the NCPDP SCRIPT standard to PBMs (CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, Optum RX). The adjudication response returns within seconds with the approved amount and patient co-pay. Rejected claims are queued for pharmacist resolution.

What is the DEA controlled substance log?

Federal law requires pharmacies to maintain a perpetual inventory log for Schedule II-V controlled substances. The system logs every dispensing and receiving transaction with patient name, DEA number, drug, quantity, and date. This log is available for DEA inspection on demand.

How does inventory expiry management work?

Each drug batch is tracked with expiry date. 90-day expiry alerts notify purchasing staff to return or mark down near-expiry stock. At dispensing, FIFO logic ensures the batch with the soonest expiry is dispensed first to minimize waste.

The Challenge

Why building a Pharmacy Management from scratch is hard

Building a Pharmacy Management System from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing pharmacy management-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Pharmacy Management needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Pharmacy Management with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Prescription intake and verification workflow

Drug inventory with expiry and batch tracking

Drug-drug and drug-allergy interaction checking

Dispensing queue with pharmacist review

Patient medication history and refill management

Insurance claim submission (Medicare, Medicaid, private)

Controlled substance DEA log

Reporting: dispensing volume, inventory value, near-expiry alerts

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Pharmacy Management follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for pharmacy management workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated pharmacy management modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all pharmacy management entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live pharmacy management status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Pharmacy Management

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

prescriptions (id, patient_id, prescriber_id, medications jsonb, date_written, days_supply, refills_remaining, status)
drug_inventory (id, drug_id, batch_number, expiry_date, quantity, cost, location_bin, supplier_id)
dispensing_records (id, prescription_id, patient_id, drug_id, quantity_dispensed, pharmacist_id, dispensed_at, claim_id)
insurance_claims (id, dispensing_id, payer_id, submission_ref, adjudication_status, copay_amount, paid_amount)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Pharmacy Management

When a prescription is entered, the drug database API checks the new medication against the patient's current medications and documented allergies. Interactions are classified by severity (contraindicated, major, moderate, minor) and displayed to the pharmacist for review before dispensing.
