What is the difference between a Thyrogen (thyrotropin alfa for injection) wholesale order and a retail order?
An order is referred to as wholesale when a physician or outpatient facility purchases Thyrogen from a distributor, pays the distributor and bills the patient’s health plan for reimbursement. An order is referred to as retail when the physician or outpatient facility places an order for Thyrogen from a distributor and the distributor bills the patients’ health plan. Whether Thyrogen is purchased as a wholesale or retail order is determined by the patient’s plan.
