ProCompounding Is a PCAB-Accredited Compounding Pharmacy
Yes — ProCompounding is a PCAB-accredited compounding pharmacy. PCAB accreditation is the compounding industry's independent quality credential, and fewer than 1% of compounding pharmacies hold it. We are also LegitScript certified and licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
What Is PCAB Accreditation?
PCAB is the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board accreditation program administered by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care. ACHC's PCAB non-sterile compounding accreditation references USP <795>, while its hazardous drug handling PCAB standards incorporate USP <800> requirements.
Accreditation is voluntary and distinct from mandatory state pharmacy licensure. For a shorter educational overview, read What Is PCAB Accreditation?.
Why It Matters: Fewer Than 1% Qualify
Of the roughly 3,000 pharmacies in the United States that compound, fewer than 200 are PCAB accredited — under 1% of the field. Accreditation gives patients and business partners a credential they can verify independently. It demonstrates that the pharmacy has undergone review against the applicable PCAB standards, including an on-site survey, rather than relying only on self-reported quality claims.
What PCAB Accreditation Evaluates
Quality systems
Written standard operating procedures for compounding, plus documentation and error-prevention controls that demonstrate those procedures are followed.
USP-focused standards
PCAB non-sterile compounding standards reference USP <795>; hazardous drug handling PCAB standards incorporate USP <800> requirements.
Staff training and competency
Personnel qualifications, documented competency, technique evaluation, and ongoing training records.
Facilities and equipment
Facilities, engineering controls, cleaning processes, environmental controls, and equipment practices relevant to the accredited services.
How the Accreditation Process Works
Application and documentation
The pharmacy submits policies, procedures, personnel records, and quality documentation for review.
Standards review
Reviewers evaluate the pharmacy against the applicable PCAB accreditation standards.
On-site survey
A surveyor visits the pharmacy to observe facilities, practices, controls, and documentation.
Findings and correction
Gaps identified during the survey must be addressed before accreditation is granted or renewed.
Accreditation cycle
Accreditation is maintained through the accreditor's ongoing requirements and future survey cycle.
For Patients
Accreditation gives you an independently verifiable signal about the systems and practices used by the pharmacy preparing your medication. You can separately verify the pharmacy's state license as well.
For Clinics & Telehealth Partners
Accreditation can support vendor diligence by giving compliance and operations teams a third-party credential to review alongside licensure, workflow, formulary, shipping, service levels, and integration capabilities.
