Compare Empower Pharmacy, then switch with a clear plan.

The alternatives fall into three buckets: direct 503A compounder portals like Empower or Strive, other multi-pharmacy prescriber portals, and pass-through platforms like Fizy Health that show per-vial cost in catalog and cart before checkout. The right choice depends on how many compounders you order from and how much pricing visibility you need.

Compare on formulary breadth, portal experience, and pricing transparency. Both Empower and direct compounder portals give you one pharmacy's catalog and pricing — the differences are scale, SKU depth, and how you confirm landed cost. Fizy Health adds a layer above individual portals: pass-through pricing visibility across multiple 503A partners before checkout, plus pre-submit cart validation.

No. The lowest-risk path is to run a new platform in parallel for a subset of refills, confirm landed cost and turnaround on your real SKUs, then move volume over once it proves out. There is no need to migrate every patient at once.

Quote-driven pricing means you usually cannot confirm per-vial cost until after onboarding and a sales conversation. Pass-through pricing shows resolved 503A landed cost on each line before checkout, so you can set patient pricing during the consult instead of after.

Fizy Health is a multi-pharmacy 503A ordering platform — a different category from Empower Pharmacy, which is a single-compounder portal. Fizy Health adds pass-through per-vial pricing visible in catalog and cart before checkout, pre-submit cart validation, per-line tracking, and in-app support tied to each order.
