Partnering with Helios is designed to be a remarkably straightforward process, focusing on establishing clear working relationships, aligning on efficient ordering and delivery workflows, and simplifying the submission of compound requests. This approach offers distinct advantages for both pharmacies and prescribers. For pharmacies, the partnership typically begins with initial contact and onboarding, where Helios gathers basic details and confirms the intended operational workflow. A comprehensive service agreement or central-fill arrangement is then established, meticulously outlining responsibilities, communication channels, billing procedures, delivery expectations, and compliance standards. The ordering workflow is carefully set up, often utilizing fax or portal-based systems, to ensure seamless prescription submission. Furthermore, pharmacies receive robust operational support, providing clear points of contact for any formulation questions, clinical clarifications, order status inquiries, or escalations. Prescribers also experience a clear path to collaboration. This usually involves an introduction to Helios's capabilities and education on how to request customized formulations. A key benefit is the ability for prescribers to engage in direct formulation collaboration, allowing them to specify unique strengths, bases, and delivery forms for particular therapies to better suit individual patient needs. In most models, this coordination occurs via the patient's pharmacy, where the prescriber writes the prescription, and the pharmacy then submits the request to Helios. The mutual benefits of this partnership are significant. Pharmacies gain increased capacity and reliability without the substantial internal overhead associated with in-house compounding. Meanwhile, prescribers gain invaluable access to specialized, customized therapies that can precisely fit patient needs, especially in situations where standard pharmaceutical products fall short.
