The list price and the price I actually pay differ by a factor of six depending on which of four routes I use, and none of that is transparent from the outside.
What I actually want to know is what actually works on a prior-authorisation denial, as opposed to the list of things that sound like they should work.
Practical detail welcome, however dull — the duller the better.
Short answer first, then the reasoning. Prices dramatically below market are the strongest single signal, and the reason is arithmetic rather than suspicion. Synthesis, testing, and cold-chain shipping have floors. A price well under the floor means something was skipped, and the two things that get skipped are testing and content.

Agreed, with a caveat about community reputation: it is a lagging indicator. Reports arrive weeks after orders, so a supplier can look excellent for a month after quality has already changed.

Right, and one flattering data point from a group buy is not consistency. Consistency means separate batches, separately commissioned, over months.
Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
Financial impact of cost and coverage weight loss beyond medication cost:
Net impact after medication cost: approximately BREAKING EVEN. The medication pays for itself through reduced food spending and healthcare costs. This surprised me.
