PGD Price Comparison
The pricing strategy for PGD services from a clinic or pharmacy varies from location to location. Voyager Medical suggests that healthcare professionals marketing such a service should create a bespoke price list based upon the following:
- The need for the service in that location - is there an equivalent private doctor service nearby or a rival pharmacy? How much do they charge? Do they openly publicize their price list? If you find that there is no one in your area offering a similar service and you are not familiar with your are have a look at the 2011 census data. This free online tool can give you a breakdown of the demographic in your area. For instance, if you are starting a Meningitis clinic which would service Muslims for Hajj and Umrah you can select the appropriate fields and see where the population is most dense...
- Common pricing strategy - amongst our members the rule is to not undersell your service, remember you are providing the patient with a pharmaceutical service which should be priced accordingly. Many medicines such as sildenafil can be bought wholesale for little to nothing, pricing a 70% margin on such items would lead to an RRP likely to be less than a pack of sweets. We recommend having a minimum charge say £10 per transaction if the wholesale price is above this then use the 70% rule.
- Compare to similar online services - have a look at what the various doctor websites charge, here is an example of a price comparison:

hat does our pilot pharmay charge? As our pilot pharmacy is extremely busy with private services we delegate as many PGD services to our online doctor system as possible. Our system charges 5 for the consult and then the price of the medicine is sent to you every quarter. The online doctor is free of charge to implement, if you are interested have a look at this video of Ash Soni setting his online doctor up.
