Titration-aware questions to ask before you quote patients
GLP-1 cost is not one number; it moves with the protocol. Patients typically start low and titrate up, and different doses can mean different vial sizes or concentrations with different costs. Once inside the Scripts portal, ask for per-vial cost across the dose ladder you actually prescribe — not just a single starting dose — so your patient pricing holds as people titrate. Confirm whether multi-month or larger vials change per-dose economics, and whether your rate is fixed across refill cycles or subject to change as Scripts's network contracts renegotiate.
Then connect it to your patient pricing. If you sell semaglutide as a monthly program, your margin depends on the cost at each step of the titration ladder, weighted by how many patients sit at each dose. A portal rate that only covers the starting price leaves the rest of the curve undefined — which is exactly the part that determines profitability once a cohort matures past the intro dose.
