Unfortunately, what would happen is the provider had the discretion on the price.

So all these providers also were making a lot of money.

Who's the quote unquote providers?

The physician?

The physician or the NP or the PA.

Who takes the difference?

The clinician, which I don't think is legal in most states.

Wait a second.

Or maybe not even federally.

If you're getting the Novo Nordisk pen, the physician's not involved.

Sure.

So most of the times when it comes to compound pharmacies, which I don't think is a good practice, the clinician gets a price from the pharmacy.

So the pharmacy will tell you, hey, a vial of semaglutide costs $150.

This clinician can now sell that vial to the patient.

They're charging an administrative fee.

It's not a sale because technically you get cell medications like that.

They will sell it to you for $200 or $800.

Yes.

It's going to the clinician.

Yeah, because what's going to happen with the BBC and all these other peptides moving is there's going to be telehealth platforms on every corner now that are going to be like, hey, BBC 199, BBC 299.
