Placing an order
Learn how to place office-stock, patient-specific, and RUO orders in the MSG portal, including product selection, shipping, payment, and delivery requirements.
Confirm prerequisites
The following is required before placing an order:
-
Clinic account is active.
-
A card is on file in Billing, unless the clinic has approved net terms.
-
Patient-specific orders are entered only by a prescriber whose NPI and license are verified and current.
-
Someone can receive cold-chain delivery at the selected address.
Select products and review the cart
-
Open Place Order. The catalog displays only the products and prices assigned to the clinic.
-
Review product designation. Items labeled “Research Use Only — not for human or veterinary use” are RUO products. They are office-stock only, fulfilled internally by MSG, and cannot be added to a patient prescription.
-
Add items. The cart calculates subtotal, the fulfilling pharmacy’s cold-chain flat shipping fee, and total.
-
Correct the cart. Use × to remove an item. Change quantity and select ✓ to apply the update.
Select the order type
| Order type | Who may place it | Required information | Destination / fulfillment |
| Office stock (bulk ship) | Any authorized clinic user | Products, quantities, delivery address, shipping method | Clinic or entered Deliver-to address; pharmacy or MSG depending on product |
| Patient-specific (Rx) | Verified prescriber only | Patient identity and full address, DOB, birth sex, phone, email, Sig, refills, allowed days supply, reason for compounding, and diagnosis | Patient or approved Deliver-to; routed to the assigned pharmacy |
| RUO office stock | Any authorized clinic user | RUO products, quantities, delivery address, shipping method | MSG internal fulfillment only; never transmitted as a patient Rx |
Confirm delivery, shipping, and payment
-
Set Deliver-to. The field is always available. Leaving it blank uses the clinic’s address on file.
-
Choose shipping. Select Overnight or 2-Day. Confirm that someone can receive cold-chain delivery.
-
Pay and submit. The portal captures payment from the clinic card on file at submission. If no card is stored, the portal routes the user to Billing. Approved net-terms clinics are invoiced instead.
-
Confirm order split. A mixed cart automatically creates one order per fulfilling pharmacy or internal fulfillment source.
Pay & submit creates real orders and captures payment unless the clinic is on net terms. Review the order type, patient details, delivery address, shipping method, and total before submitting.
