What a clinic owner can and cannot plan up front
You can plan the structure: which SKUs drive volume, expected refill cadence, and the patient price points your market supports. What you cannot plan up front with Ironsail Pharma is the COGS number itself, because per-vial rates appear only inside ImpetusRX after provider signup. That gap matters most for high-volume GLP-1 programs, where a small per-vial difference multiplied across hundreds of monthly refills swings the bottom line. After onboarding, pull written per-vial cost on your top three SKUs across at least two pharmacy options and confirm whether shipping is in the tile.
Also clarify how ancillary costs hit the P&L. Marketplace comparison may show a drug rate without cold-chain shipping on GLP-1s, or without any ImpetusRX fee layer. Build your margin model on the all-in number per vial delivered, not the lowest comparison tile alone, so your patient pricing protects the spread you actually need.
