Switching from VLS Pharmacy without disrupting refill day

Before moving any volume, confirm the switch does not disrupt the pharmacy layer underneath. First, check formulary coverage: list your highest-volume SKUs — semaglutide, tirzepatide, your hormone and peptide lines — and confirm the 503A partners assigned to your Fizy Health clinic can fill them. VLS Pharmacy and New Drug Loft cover an integrative medicine formulary that includes BHRT, weight management, IV therapies, and dermatology compounds; the Fizy Health network is built around LegitScript-certified 503A partners, so confirming which SKUs are live before moving volume is the first step.

Second, review your existing VLS Pharmacy prescriber account relationship for any commitments or courtesy notice period you want to observe before reducing fax volume — these are clinic-specific details to read in your own agreement rather than assume. Third, decide what data you carry over: patient demographics, your common SIGs, and your repeat-order SKUs. Switching the ordering platform does not mean migrating your EMR — fax-and-phone workflows and online ordering platforms both live alongside your chart system, not in place of it.

The lowest-risk path is to run both approaches side by side for a short window rather than cutting over cold. Create a free Fizy Health account at app.fizy.health, complete clinic and prescriber verification — NPI and DEA are validated at onboarding; most clinics are in catalog in under ten minutes — and add patients from your existing list or create them inline while building your first cart. Then open catalog and cart for your top GLP-1 and hormone lines and compare pass-through per-vial cost against the landed cost from your current VLS Pharmacy quotes.

Run your first validated batch cart for a single refill day: add today's patient lines, let cart validation catch SIG and licensure issues before checkout, and submit one payment. Tracking and in-app support start per line from day one. Keep submitting through VLS Pharmacy for any formulary lines not yet covered by your assigned Fizy Health partners, and keep faxing for any new-patient compounds that need a pharmacist consultation — the two are not integrated, so you manage volume separately. Move the rest of your volume once you have confirmed pricing, coverage, and workflow over one or two refill cycles. If pass-through pricing does not beat your VLS quotes on your top SKUs, that is a legitimate reason to stay.
