What clinic leaders can and cannot plan up front
You can plan the clinical workflow: which patients benefit from specialty coordination, how referrals are submitted, and how your team follows status updates from FountainRx coordinators. What you cannot plan as clinic COGS is a single per-vial rate across your patient panel, because FountainRx pricing reflects each patient's benefit design, deductible, and PA outcome.
That gap matters when your business model is cash-pay weight loss or hormone therapy. Those clinics sell programs priced on landed medication cost multiplied by volume. A specialty referral pharmacy optimized for insured out-of-pocket does not replace a clinic cart with visible 503A per-vial cost before checkout.
