​An evening on insurance operations for digital health and GLP-1 providers, and what it actually takes to move from cash pay consumers to covered lives patients.

​Cash pay got a generation of digital health companies to scale, including GLP-1s, birth control, hair medications, and sexual health drugs. Insurance is where the next order of magnitude sits, and it is a different operational problem entirely: benefit verification against several hundred payers, prior authorization portal chaos, and endless waiting on hold. Most teams model the revenue upside long before they model the operations.

​We are putting both sides of that problem on stage: the team building the agents, and the team running a D2C healthcare organization at national scale. Expect specifics on where agents unlock new revenue opportunities, and where they do not.

​Speakers

​What we will cover

​What has to be operationally true before you switch insurance on as a channel, and the earlier steps (hint: benefit verification and prior authorization) that most teams get wrong.

​The unit economics of benefit verification and prior authorization at scale and how to unlock the insurance revenue channel.

​Where voice agents work with payer lines today, where they fail, and how to get the answers you need for your patients and HCPs.

​Where desktop agents work within portals, faxes, and messaging systems today and how speed begets speed.

​How to keep time-to-therapy from degrading and patient leakage from skyrocketing.

​Who should come

​Ops, growth, and product leaders at digital health and GLP-1 providers who are cash pay today and evaluating insurance as a channel, or already in it and finding the operations harder than expected 🫠

​Come with the payer that gives you the most trouble.
