What a clinic owner can and cannot plan up front
You can plan structure: which SKUs drive volume, expected refill cadence, and the patient price points your market supports. Wells Pharmacy Network operates a 20,500 SF 503A pharmacy and a 20,000 SF FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility, so the formulary covers hormone optimization, weight management, dermatology, sexual wellness, and peptides — you can plan around product availability. What is harder to plan is per-vial COGS, because prices are not published on wellsrx.com and WellsPx3 shows per-Rx cost only after placement. The practical workaround is to contact Wells directly before launching a new program and request a written per-Rx cost estimate on your top three SKUs — semaglutide, tirzepatide, and your highest-volume hormone or peptide — so your margin model rests on a real number rather than an assumption.
Also confirm how ancillary costs hit the P&L. Wells offers standard, expedited, and overnight shipping with cold-chain service for temperature-sensitive compounds. If shipping is billed per order or per box, spread that cost over the vials in a typical batch to compute true landed cost. The margin model should be built on the all-in delivered number per prescription, not just the drug rate, so your patient pricing protects the spread you actually need.
