Guaranteed Returns Contract

Following is the description of the Texas Association of Community Health Center’s (TACHC) contract with Guaranteed Returns for the reverse distribution of pharmaceutical products. Remember, that you may always contact Lynn Ford at the TACHC office with any questions.

The contract has been extended for an additional 2 years, until December 31, 2009.

PROCESSING FEE:
The processing fee for reverse distribution through Guaranteed Returns is 8.5% of the actual credit received to the health center.

Packaging, shipping and handling charges via UPS are at no extra charge to the health center. There are no extra fees for disposal of hazardous or non-hazardous products. The fee of 8.5% includes all disposal charges.

Guaranteed Returns is able to service a health center with an on-site service. The fee for on-site service is 9.5% to 10.5% (depending on the level of hands-on service) of the actual credit received to the health center.

NO INVOICE:
Guaranteed Returns does not invoice the health centers based on an estimated value, as most reverse distributors.
