Should I tell my patients I make a profit from the products I recommend to them?

That's up to you!

Similarly, patients always have the option to purchase products through other pharmacies or merchants, and those other pharmacies or merchants (or the patients themselves) may file for insurance. With shiftMD, they will not be able to file for insurance. Patients should be informed of this fact and should be given freedom of choice.

Many patients will choose to use the shiftMD platform for convenience and cost savings, but other patients may wish to purchase the products elsewhere in order to use their insurance benefits. Patients should never be pressured to use the shiftMD platform; use of shiftMD is always optional and we ask that you take care to communicate this to your patients!
