Why Every Modern Clinic Should Run on Subscriptions
Published February 26, 2026 · 7 min read
One-off prescriptions are a customer-acquisition tax with no LTV. Subscriptions flip the math.
The unit economics
A $499/mo program at 70% 6-month retention generates ~$2,400 LTV per patient. The same patient on a one-off Rx generates $300.
What to bundle
Medication + telehealth + labs + a branded patient app. Patients don't compare it to a competitor's monthly price, they compare it to a friend's.
How to operationalize
Pharmacy auto-ship, branded portal, quarterly lab integration, and a single charge-on-file. The clinic touches the patient only when they want it touched.
Request an independent partner introduction
DPS makes introductions only. The independent parties determine their own account requirements and timelines.
