1. Decide what you'll build and what you'll hand off

  • List every task: supplier vetting, sourcing, compliance review, systems, payments, training, ordering
  • Mark what your team has time for
  • Decide whether you need a launch partner

2. Confirm your clinical structure

  • Licensed provider who prescribes and supervises
  • Medical director arrangement, if your state requires one (check your state board)
  • Clinical questions route to your providers

3. Vet your sourcing

  • Licensed pharmacy partners you can verify
  • Clinic license and NPI verification before first order
  • No research use only product for patient care
  • Batch documentation and storage requirements
