description: >-
  FinOps view of DoseSpot e-prescribing spend. DoseSpot pricing is sales-led and
  not publicly listed; commercial terms are negotiated per customer and are
  commonly structured around the integration model (JumpStart vs. Full
  Integration), the number of active prescribers/providers, prescription
  transaction volume, and EPCS (controlled substance) enablement. Because no
  public rate card exists, the meters below describe the dimensions a customer
  should expect to track rather than reconciled unit prices.
notes: >-
  Confirm the actual billing model, meters, and unit prices with DoseSpot during
  contracting and reconciliation. Values are structural and not reconciled.
