According to the CDC, 42% of Americans are considered obese. There aren’t enough obesity medicine specialists to see them all. Brand medications are on the FDA shortage list and natural methods such as diet and behavior modification health don’t always work. Rather than turn away or refer patients interested in weight loss medications, an upcoming webinar will discuss ways for physician practices to help them as well.
Physician practices can help patients obtain compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide, the active ingredients found in Ozempic and Mounjaro respectively. For physicians with insurance-based practices, this is an opportunity to successfully help patients lose weight as well as an opportunity to generate $250K+ in monthly recurring revenue!
A webinar titled Lower BMI, Raise ROI: How Physician Practices Can Boost Revenues with a Turnkey Weight Management Program will highlight issues related to weight management. The webinar is scheduled for March 6 at 2pm ET. It is sponsored by BuildMyHealth.
Among the discussion points the webinar will cover are:
- Back to basics: an overview of GLP-1 weight loss medication
- Compounding pharmacies and the law
- What should be in your turnkey weight management program
- The importance of automation in a subscription-based weight management program
- Overview of benefits to patients (successful weight loss) and providers (cost of goods and net revenue)
- How a provider-to-consumer (PTC) model is better for patients than a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model
Panelists include:
Dr. Jonathan Kaplan, a board certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco. He is also founder and CEO of BuildMyHealth, a PTC platform that assists physician practices with starting subscription-based services such as those for weight management. It offers services that include a turnkey weight management solution, sourcing meds from compounding pharmacies and providing the software to automate the monthly subscription billing for GLP-1 weight loss medications.
Dr. Ioana Carabin, a facial plastic surgeon in Key West. Carabin received her training at Mount Sinai. From 2009 to 2012, she was Assistant Professor of Medical Education, University of Central Florida, College of Medicine, Department of Medical Education, in Orlando. In the past 12 years, Carabin has practiced in Key West and treated patients throughout the Florida Keys. She recently added a weight management program to her practice to meet the changing needs of her patients.
