VLS Pharmacy RFP checklist: score it like a buyer.
Evaluating VLS Pharmacy through a formal request-for-proposal means scoring it on the same criteria you would apply to any 503A fax-and-EMR compounder: pricing transparency, submission workflow, accreditation and quality controls, support model, compliance and data handling, and contract terms. Because VLS Pharmacy publishes its product and accreditations but not its prices or contract details, an RFP is the right tool to force the specifics into writing. This page gives you a weighted checklist and the exact requests that turn marketing claims into comparable, documented answers.
If you are running a structured evaluation, use this checklist to score VLS Pharmacy and any alternative on the same criteria — so the decision rests on documented answers, not marketing language.

The criteria to score in a VLS Pharmacy RFP
Each row is an RFP criterion with a plain-language rating of what VLS Pharmacy publicly confirms today and a note on what to request in writing. Score every vendor on the same rows.
- Quote-only
Pricing transparency
VLS Pharmacy does not publish per-vial prices; email info@vlspharmacy.com for details. Require per-vial cost on your top SKUs in writing, plus all fees and the basis for any volume tiers.
- Fax, EMR, phone
Submission workflow
VLS explicitly does not offer online ordering. Require a description of the fax and EMR process, expected turnaround per order type, and the batch-handling procedure if you submit multiple Rxs in a day.
- PCAB via ACHC
Accreditation and quality
VLS cites PCAB accreditation via ACHC and PCCA-certified technicians — both verifiable. Require the current accreditation certificate and the names of accrediting bodies so you can confirm status directly.
- Email + phone
Support and SLAs
Contact is info@vlspharmacy.com and 1-844-857-5588 (Mon–Fri 9:30 AM–6:30 PM EST). Require response-time commitments, escalation paths, and how an issue tied to a specific prescription is tracked.
- Verify in writing
Compliance and data
Require the HIPAA posture, whether a BAA is offered, how PHI flows through the fax or EMR submission process, and what audit-trail capabilities exist.
- Not published
Contract and exit
Require term length, renewal, cancellation terms, and any data-portability rights before scoring the commercial section. These are not posted publicly.
Ratings reflect what VLS Pharmacy publicly documents as of June 2026; the RFP exists to obtain the rest in writing for apples-to-apples scoring.

Fizy Health
You want criteria you can verify in the product, not just in a proposal.

- You want in-app support, per-line tracking, and a BAA at onboarding scored on direct evidence.
What scores well when criteria are verifiable in-product.
An RFP is strongest when answers can be confirmed in the live product. These are outcomes a clinic can score on evidence, not promises.
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.
Fewer paid orders rejected by the pharmacy
Cart validation catches invalid SIGs, prescriber state mismatches, and stock gaps before you pay — not after rejection.
Support tied to the order, not lost in email
In-app support tickets with threaded replies stay linked to the order and patient, so issues keep their full context.
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 VLS Pharmacy.
- Definition
What should a VLS Pharmacy RFP cover?
A VLS Pharmacy RFP should score pricing transparency, submission workflow (fax, EMR, phone), accreditation and quality controls (PCAB, PCCA), support and SLAs, compliance and data handling (HIPAA, BAA), and contract and exit terms. Apply the same criteria to every vendor for an apples-to-apples comparison.
- Pricing
How do I evaluate VLS Pharmacy pricing in an RFP?
Because VLS Pharmacy prices by quote, require per-vial cost on your highest-volume SKUs in writing via info@vlspharmacy.com, along with all fees and the basis for any volume tiers, so you can compare landed cost against alternatives.
- Accreditation
How should I score accreditation in the RFP?
Require the current PCAB certificate via ACHC and confirmation of PCCA technician certification. Verify both directly with the accrediting bodies — ACHC for PCAB status and PCCA for technician credentials — rather than relying on the RFP response alone.
- Workflow
What should I ask about the submission workflow?
Require a description of the fax and EMR submission process, expected turnaround per order type (target is 24 hours per their public materials), and how multiple Rxs submitted on the same day are prioritized and tracked. Confirm whether any batch-submission option exists.
- Comparison
How does Fizy Health score on these criteria?
Fizy Health shows pass-through per-vial pricing in catalog and cart, documents and lets you test pre-submit validation, provides in-app support and per-line tracking, and signs a BAA at onboarding — criteria you can verify in the live product before signing.
- Decision
How should I weight the RFP criteria?
Weight by what your clinic feels daily. For most cash-pay clinics, pricing visibility, submission overhead relative to Rx volume, and rejection prevention rank highest, with compliance and contract terms as gating requirements.
