The pricing structure establishes a fee of $200 per patient-specific medication product plus $3 for each DOT-certified transportation trip, with line items including 512 compounded sterile preparations, 81 delivery fees, and 12 monthly retention fees per contract period. Services will be provided Monday through Friday, excluding specific federal holidays, with provisions for urgent same-day requests when necessary.
