I think this was posted already (a couple of years? ago)

Anyway, yeah, it wasn't a good value proposition (and is it just me or GlacierMD is a bad name for this)?

Because in the end, it doesn't matter much if you don't get "the absolutely best choice of drug". If it solves your problem great, if not, doctors can exchange it, but that's when the drug or dosage is bad, not "not great".

yeah if it was something like "we can recommend a cheaper drug" then there might be an incentive... but also that's not how drugs are even priced. The healthcare world is such a mess. Charging doctor's offices for SaaS is very very tricky.
