What actually drives the BoomRx price you see
A portal-gated model means the price is assembled from inputs you do not fully control or see up front. The biggest input is the partner pharmacy's cost for each compounded or sourced medication, which varies by drug, strength, vial size, and whether it is 503A, 503B, or brand. On top of that sits whatever fee structure the platform applies, plus the $30 flat cold-chain shipping fee BoomRx advertises per patient order. BoomRx frames its rates as competitive with average savings of about 20% versus industry, but without published numbers you cannot independently verify how drug cost, shipping, and any platform fee add up.
Because the number arrives after signup, your evaluation has to be question-driven. Ask for written per-vial cost on your top three SKUs — typically semaglutide, tirzepatide, and your highest-volume hormone or peptide — and ask whether that price holds across refill cycles. Ask what is included and what is billed separately, so the portal rate plus the $30 shipping fee is the landed cost, not a starting point.
