Becoming a dispensing partner with MOCA Health is a straightforward process, designed to ensure that all regulatory and compliance standards are met. As part of our commitment to patient safety and adherence to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, MOCA Health works closely with pharmacies to help them set up and manage the dispensing of medical cannabis products.
Step-by-step process to partner with MOCA Health:
Pharmacy Registration and Compliance: The first step for a pharmacy interested in dispensing MOCA Health products is ensuring that they are registered with the appropriate authorities and comply with TGA regulations. MOCA Health provides guidance on the specific legal requirements pharmacies must meet before they can begin dispensing medical cannabis.
Application to Dispense: Once the pharmacy meets the necessary regulatory requirements, they can apply to become a dispensing partner with MOCA Health. This application includes providing details about their operations, compliance measures, and ensuring they are fully equipped to manage medical cannabis prescriptions safely.
Agreement and Onboarding: Upon acceptance, the pharmacy enters into a formal partnership with MOCA Health. During the onboarding process, we provide the necessary training, resources, and guidance to ensure the pharmacy staff understands how to safely dispense cannabis-based products, including handling patient queries, managing prescriptions, and following up with healthcare providers as needed.
Ongoing Support and Updates: MOCA Health continues to support our dispensing partners with ongoing training and resources, including updates on new product offerings, regulatory changes, and best practices for medical cannabis dispensing. Pharmacies will have access to dedicated support from the MOCA Health team, ensuring they can address any challenges that arise in the dispensing process.
