The physician-led GLP-1 telehealth clinic pairs one transparently published price with a built-in member community designed to keep people on track past month one.
-- Astra Health, a physician-led telehealth clinic, is pleased to announce that it is now available to patients across all 50 states. The GLP-1 support clinic is positioned to address the GLP-1 patient dropout problem that is plaguing the booming industry.
The GLP-1 category has exploded into a huge global market, with dozens of telehealth clinics competing to sign up first-time patients. However, according to Keanna Tofiga, Chief Wellness Officer at Astra Health, the industry is facing a recurring problem: many patients who start a GLP-1 prescription for weight management stop taking it within the first year. Astra Health is built for what happens after the first prescription. The clinic pairs one transparent published price with physician-led care and automatic membership in the Astra Health Club, a built-in support community.
"The GLP-1 boom has a dropout problem nobody talks about," said Tofiga. "Selling someone their first month is easy, but there are no systems built around helping them see the prescription through. We built Astra for month six, after the novelty wears off. One honest price, physician-led care, and a community every patient joins on day one."
To solve the dropout problem, Astra Health charges a single monthly price that covers the provider visit, the prescription when medically appropriate, medication sourced from a vetted, state-licensed US pharmacy, shipping, and ongoing check-ins. For Tofiga, Astra Health's publicly published pricing model is personal. She built the GLP-1 telehealth clinic for the AAPI families in her community who were priced out of care that could have changed their health outcomes.
"I watched people I love get told the medication that could change their health costs more than a thousand dollars a month and they simply couldn't afford it. At Astra, we make sure that the price you see is the price you pay," said Tofiga.
Beyond its transparent pricing, Astra Health's model is defined by the clinic's support community that every patient is automatically enrolled in at no additional cost. Astra Health Club membership is designed to provide support and keep patients on track through monthly challenges, a monthly letter from Tofiga, the Chief Wellness Officer, and a bring-a-friend invitation to extend the support network. The idea, Tofiga says, is to address the isolation that often precedes patients' abandonment of treatment by reinforcing habit change through community and accountability.
Through this model, Astra Health has firmly positioned itself across all 50 states as a licensed telehealth clinic where every prescription is issued by a licensed provider and filled by a state-licensed US pharmacy. "Affordable can never mean cutting corners. We compete on transparency, not shortcuts," concluded Tofiga.
Astra Health is now accepting new patients in all 50 states. For more information, to book an online evaluation, or enroll, visit Astra Health. Patients can also review the published pricing at https://try-astra.com/glp-1-plans.
