PharmacyLive RFP checklist: score your compounder's portal.
Clinics do not typically run an RFP against PharmacyLive directly — the pharmacy buys the software. What clinics evaluate is whether their compounder's PharmacyLive deployment fits refill day: batch ordering inside one pharmacy's catalog, workflow status visibility, PioneerRx integration depth, how drug pricing displays, and what happens when you add a second compounder with its own portal. This page gives clinic buyers a weighted checklist to score a PharmacyLive deployment against clinic-owned alternatives like Fizy Health — forcing the specifics into writing through your compounder.
If you are running a structured evaluation of ordering workflow, use this checklist to score your compounder's portal and any clinic-side alternative on the same criteria.
The criteria to score in a PharmacyLive portal evaluation
Each row is an evaluation criterion with a plain-language rating of what PharmacyLive publicly confirms and a note on what to request from your compounder in writing. Score every option on the same rows.
- Advertised (one pharmacy)
Batch ordering fit
PharmacyLive advertises batch and multi-patient ordering within one pharmacy's portal. Require a written description of patient limits per session and whether your top refill-day workflow is supported.
- Not available
Multi-compounder routing
Each PharmacyLive deployment covers one pharmacy. If you use multiple 503A partners, score whether separate portals are acceptable or whether you need a clinic-side cart like Fizy Health.
- Pharmacy-controlled
Pricing visibility
Require how per-vial cost displays inside the portal for your account on your top SKUs — PharmacyLive does not publish clinic drug pricing on pharmacylive.com.
- Advertised
Workflow status tracking
PharmacyLive advertises real-time workflow status. Require confirmation of carrier-level shipping visibility in your compounder's current deployment.
- Advertised
PioneerRx integration
Integration support includes PioneerRx. Confirm whether your compounder's instance is integrated and how that affects order intake speed and error rates.
- Through pharmacy
Support and escalation
Require how portal software issues versus fulfillment delays are escalated, response-time commitments, and who clinic staff contact.
Ratings reflect what PharmacyLive publicly documents as of June 2026; the checklist exists to obtain deployment-specific answers from your compounder for apples-to-apples scoring.
Score the pharmacy portal, then weigh it against clinic-owned checkout.
PharmacyLive
Its written answers score well on your weighted criteria.
- Batch ordering inside one pharmacy's portal matches refill day and your formulary routes through that compounder only.
- Pricing display, PioneerRx integration, and tracking depth check out in writing and in a test batch.
- Support through your compounder meets your escalation and response requirements.
Fizy Health
Multi-compounder routing and clinic-owned pricing score higher for your workflow.
- You need one cart across multiple 503A partners with pass-through per-vial pricing before checkout.
- You want pre-submit validation documented and testable before payment.
- You want clinic-owned support, per-line tracking, and a BAA at onboarding scored on evidence.
What scores well when criteria are verifiable in-product.
An evaluation is strongest when answers can be confirmed in the live clinic platform — not only in a pharmacy portal proposal.
Quote patients with real per-vial cost before the consult
See resolved 503A landed cost on each catalog and cart line before checkout, with a disclosed facilitation fee at payment.
Friday refills for every patient in one checkout
Build the whole refill day in one clinic cart — new starts and refills across partners — and submit a single payment.
Fewer paid orders rejected by the pharmacy
Cart validation catches invalid SIGs, prescriber state mismatches, and stock gaps before you pay — not after rejection.
Per-line status when one checkout splits across compounders
Per-line fulfillment and carrier tracking across every routed partner gives you an auditable order history.
What buyers ask when evaluating PharmacyLive.
- Definition
Should clinics run an RFP against PharmacyLive?
Clinics typically evaluate their compounder's PharmacyLive deployment, not PharmacyLive as a direct vendor. The checklist scores batch workflow, pricing display, tracking, integration, and multi-pharmacy fit — the criteria that matter on refill day.
- Workflow
What is the most important criterion for most clinics?
Whether one pharmacy portal covers your entire formulary with batch ordering inside it. If you route across multiple 503A partners, multi-compounder routing becomes the gating criterion — PharmacyLive scores poorly there by design.
- Pricing
How do I evaluate pricing in this checklist?
Require how per-vial cost displays inside your compounder's portal for your top SKUs in writing. PharmacyLive does not publish clinic drug pricing on pharmacylive.com — deployment-specific answers are what make comparison possible.
- Integration
Why does PioneerRx integration matter in scoring?
PharmacyLive advertises PioneerRx integration support. For your compounder, integration can reduce manual intake and errors — confirm whether their instance is connected and how that affects your order turnaround.
- Comparison
How does Fizy Health score on these criteria?
Fizy Health shows pass-through per-vial pricing in catalog and cart, batches across multiple 503A partners in one cart, documents and lets you test pre-submit validation, and provides per-line tracking with a BAA at onboarding — criteria verifiable in the clinic product.
- Decision
How should I weight the criteria?
Weight by what your clinic feels daily. For multi-compounder GLP-1, hormone, and peptide clinics, routing and pricing visibility usually rank highest. For single-pharmacy practices, batch ordering and tracking inside one portal may be sufficient.
