What is compounding?

How much will my prescription cost?

The cost of your prescription will vary depending on multiple factors such as the drug coverage provided by your insurance plan and whether your deductible has been met. We work with health insurers to help determine the cost of your medication up front. Your insurer may require a process called “prior authorization” before they will agree to cover a costly medication. Once this process is complete, we will notify you about the out-of-pocket cost of your prescription.
