What documents they require

Typical Cardinal supplier programs include order-to-cash and related healthcare commerce sets, such as: Exact specs come from your partner packet — treat this as a planning checklist, not a substitute for their current implementation guide.

  • 850 / 855 / 856 / 810
  • Program-specific 8xx sets for pricing, chargebacks, or rebates — per your contract packet
  • DSCSA-related traceability exchanges where required for your product class

How long onboarding takes

8–16 weeks

Healthcare distribution timelines vary by facility onboarding, formulary alignment, and test cycles. Expect structured test plans rather than same-day production.
