Tailor Made Compounding pricing vs pass-through: which model fits a clinic?

Account-gated compounder pricing can win when your entire formulary lives inside Tailor Made's integrative catalog — deep peptides, hormones, and longevity protocols — and you are comfortable committing before seeing per-vial cost. The upside is a direct relationship with a high-volume 503A compounder; the risk is that the rate is unverifiable up front and may pair with ancillary charges for UPS shipping, signature delivery, and card processing that change landed cost. Pass-through pricing wins when a clinic needs to quote cash-pay patients on landed cost before the consult, wants to verify that drug cost is not marked up, and values seeing the number on every SKU before ordering — especially when batching refills across more than one 503A partner in one cart.

Most cash-pay GLP-1 clinics care most about one thing: knowing per-vial cost before they set patient pricing. That single requirement tends to favor a pass-through model, because a clinic agreement that arrives after account approval cannot inform pricing you need to set during evaluation. But a peptide-heavy clinic that only ever orders from Tailor Made and values their integrative formulary may rationally prefer the compounder path — the right answer depends on the clinic, not the marketing.

Do not decide on model labels; decide on landed cost for your real SKUs. Get an itemized Tailor Made clinic rate that separates drug cost from UPS shipping, the $5 optional signature fee, and processing on your top three SKUs, then open a pass-through catalog and read the visible per-vial cost plus disclosed facilitation fee on the same drug, strength, and vial size. Normalize both to delivered per-vial cost over a representative month.

With Fizy Health you can do half of that comparison immediately, because it shows resolved per-vial 503A cost on each catalog and cart line before checkout and discloses a single facilitation fee at payment. Build a representative cart, read the totals, and set that against your Tailor Made clinic rate. Whichever model delivers lower true landed cost on the SKUs you actually order is the right choice — and now you can prove it rather than assume it.
