PharmacyLive pricing vs pass-through alternatives

How does PharmacyLive pricing compare to pass-through alternatives?

PharmacyLive is portal software sold to compounders; clinics see pharmacy-configured catalog prices per deployment without a corporate price list or pass-through guarantee. Pass-through alternatives like Fizy Health are sold to clinics and show resolved per-vial 503A cost on each catalog and cart line before checkout, with a separately disclosed facilitation fee. The tradeoff is control: pharmacy-owned portals fit single-compounder workflows; pass-through clinic platforms fit multi-partner batch checkout with margin visible before you quote patients.

This page compares pharmacy-controlled PharmacyLive portal economics with pass-through clinic ordering on the dimensions cash-pay operators care about: COGS visibility, multi-pharmacy routing, and refill-day workflow.

What is the economic difference between PharmacyLive portals and pass-through platforms?

PharmacyLive portals put pricing authority on the compounding pharmacy. The clinic is a prescriber user inside the pharmacy's branded software, and COGS is whatever that pharmacy configured. Pass-through clinic platforms put pricing authority on the clinic buyer: drug cost resolves from assigned 503A partners and displays before checkout, with platform fees named separately. Neither model replaces the compounder; they differ in who owns the ordering layer and how transparent landed cost is before patient programs launch.

Side-by-side economics clinics should model

Compare on five inputs: per-vial cost on your top five SKUs including shipping, time to see those numbers after signup, whether multi-compounder orders require multiple logins, whether validation runs before payment, and whether rate changes require pharmacy renegotiation versus catalog updates you can see immediately. PharmacyLive may win on familiarity when one compounder covers your formulary and their portal batch workflow is already trained. Pass-through wins when portal hopping across compounders costs more than consolidating checkout above the portals.

Run a parallel week: price your top SKUs in your compounder's PharmacyLive portal against Fizy Health's guest catalog. Use the same titration steps and shipping assumptions. Margin decisions should use that spreadsheet, not marketing claims from either side.

When clinics add pass-through without ripping out PharmacyLive

Your compounder keeps PharmacyLive on the fulfillment side. Fizy Health sits above as the clinic checkout layer for assigned LegitScript-certified 503A partners, whether or not a given pharmacy runs PharmacyLive behind the scenes. Many clinics start pass-through on new partner routes or high-volume GLP-1 batches while keeping an existing pharmacy portal for legacy SKUs during transition.

The goal is not to attack your compounder's software. It is to own margin visibility and batch checkout when one pharmacy portal is no longer enough for how your clinic actually prescribes.

Stay on your pharmacy's portal — or add a pass-through clinic layer?

PharmacyLive fits if

PharmacyLive

One compounder portal covers your formulary and their pricing is enough.

  • You only order from one compounding pharmacy and their PharmacyLive portal fits your daily workflow.
  • You are fine with catalog, pricing, and UX set by the pharmacy, not your clinic ops team.
  • You do not need to batch refills across multiple 503A compounders in one checkout session.
Consider Fizy Health if

Fizy Health

You want pass-through per-vial cost before checkout across your 503A network.

  • You use two or more 503A partners and refuse a separate white-label login for each compounder.
  • You batch GLP-1, hormone, and peptide refills and need landed cost visible before you quote patients.
  • You want validation before payment and per-line HIPAA audit on every patient order.

FAQ

Pass-through comparison questions about PharmacyLive.

  • Model

    Is PharmacyLive a pass-through pricing platform?

    PharmacyLive is portal software sold to pharmacies. Clinics see prices each pharmacy configures in its deployment. That is pharmacy-controlled pricing, not a clinic-facing pass-through catalog with separately disclosed platform fees.

  • Comparison

    What is the main economic advantage of pass-through alternatives?

    Per-vial 503A cost visible before checkout across assigned partners, with platform fees named separately, so clinics quote cash-pay patients from auditable COGS without waiting on pharmacy portal provisioning.

  • Coexistence

    Can I use pass-through ordering and keep my pharmacy's PharmacyLive portal?

    Many clinics evaluate pass-through when they add partners or outgrow one portal. Fulfillment still runs through compounders; the clinic layer changes where you batch checkout and see economics.

  • Multi-pharmacy

    Why does multi-pharmacy routing favor pass-through?

    Each PharmacyLive portal is one pharmacy. Pass-through clinic platforms stack lines from multiple 503A partners in one cart with per-line cost before one payment.

  • Evaluation

    How should I benchmark pass-through against my portal?

    Compare the same five SKUs on per-vial landed cost including shipping, time to access pricing, and refill-day workflow with validation before pay.

  • Fizy Health

    How does Fizy Health charge clinics compared with PharmacyLive portals?

    Fizy Health has $0/mo plus pass-through pricing and 9% facilitation. Drug cost passes through with a disclosed facilitation fee at checkout. Clinics do not pay PharmacyLive software fees.
