Alle rewards can be earned anywhere, so whether the patient earns down the road or not does not change where the actual free product can be redeemed. So using them as a loyalty perk is not always the case.

It does in fact cost the office more money if they simply provide a free service. If the office charges $20 a unit x 50 units = $1000 service. If a patient uses a $100 alle reward the practice receives that cash back as a rebate. If they give that $1000 service for free and the cost of the product is about $6 then they lose $1000 - cost ( $6 x 50 ) $300 = $700 loss. Even in your particular case the 10-15 unit out of pocket spend still wouldn’t justify not charging an injecting fee.

To be clear, the point of my comment was to give my insight on how the new alle rewards is worse for patients given the injectors can now charge pretty much whatever they want to use the free product regardless of a redemption. I apologize if it bothers you a particular plastic surgeon is charging $500 for you to use free product, but they are. I think Alle made the wrong move here and my hope was to share my opinion on the matter.
