Where the medication comes from, and why it matters to the bill
The dispensing arrangement explains why two programs with the same molecule build completely different charges. Where a program names no pharmacy, the field stays blank.
Partner compounding pharmacy
A dispensing arrangement where the program names a single compounding pharmacy and ships from it. The pharmacy is not the seller: the program is, and the program sets the charge.
Branded wholesale supply
An arrangement where a program dispenses a branded, FDA-approved product rather than a compounded one. The charge usually reflects the product rather than a dispensing service.
Laboratory-billed panel
A lab panel ordered by the program and billed by the laboratory rather than the program. This is the most common unpriced required fee in the category.
