Push Health, MD-Led Platform

Push Health is a telehealth infrastructure platform that functions as a marketplace connecting patients directly with independent licensed physicians, rather than as a managed medical practice. Founded in 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona, the company built its platform around the premise that direct patient-to-provider relationships — unmediated by a corporate employer-provider structure — produce better clinical relationships and more transparent pricing. For GLP-1 weight loss prescriptions, Push Health allows patients to submit care requests to independent physicians who evaluate eligibility for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and other GLP-1 medications based on standard clinical criteria. Because each physician on the platform operates as an independent provider, consultation fees, clinical style, and response times vary. Push Health displays all fees before a patient approves any service, making cost fully transparent at the point of care. The platform integrates with Quest Diagnostics for lab orders and connects to more than 55,000 pharmacies for electronic prescription fulfillment — covering virtually every retail and mail-order pharmacy in the United States. Payment is accepted via PayPal, major credit and debit cards, and HSA/FSA accounts. Push Health does not bill insurance directly for platform fees, though patients can use their insurance at the pharmacy for covered medications. Push Health does not offer a structured weight loss program, behavioral coaching, dietitian support, or compounded medication services. It is a prescribing and care coordination infrastructure layer — the clinical relationship is entirely between the patient and their chosen independent physician. This makes Push Health the right tool for a specific type of patient: one who wants to choose their own doctor, pay a transparent per-visit fee, and receive a GLP-1 prescription without the overhead of a subscription program or managed care platform. For patients comfortable navigating a provider marketplace and seeking efficient, low-overhead access to a GLP-1 prescription, Push Health offers a genuinely different model from every managed telehealth service in this category. structure — produce better clinical relationships and more transparent pricing.
