Increase GLP-1 Patient Retention Rates with Product Bundling

Article Summary

Patient Retention Challenge: The healthcare industry faces a significant patient retention crisis, particularly with GLP-1 patients.

Power of Product Bundling: Bundling compatible products can enhance patient perceived value, improve treatment outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction, leading to higher retention rates.  

Empower Pharmacy Solution: By partnering with Empower Pharmacy, healthcare practices can access a wide range of high-quality compounded products to create personalized treatment plans and potentially improve patient outcomes.

The surge in GLP-1 prescriptions, with over 15 million patients now using these medications, has positioned healthcare practices at a pivotal juncture. Those who can effectively retain this influx of patients stand to be more successful.

Patients are Going more than Coming

However, the current landscape is challenging. Healthcare entities face a crisis point, losing nearly half of their patients while only gaining a slightly smaller percentage.

The trend is even worse for GLP-1 patients. According to internal data, 85% of GLP-1 patients walk away after their second refill.

To help reverse this trend, practices must prioritize patient retention. Delivering exceptional patient experiences is paramount.

Offering compatible products to your patients can potentially improve their results and, thus, their overall experience with your practice, making them more likely to stay long-term.

The Case for Bundling Products

According to research, consumers tend to buy more when products and services are bundled.

Bundling increases your patients’ perceived value regarding their treatment plan, thus improving their satisfaction.

Good bundles require anticipating the medical conditions, needs and desires of your patients. Narrowing down bundles by packages helps to home in on your patients’ goals. Identify categories your patients may be interested in, like:

  • Anti-Aging,
  • Weight Management, and
  • Hormone Therapy

Ideally, these products would come from a single source to offer convenience and feasibility for your patients.

As the largest compounding pharmacy in the world, Empower Pharmacy is a single-source provider of a wide range of high-quality prescriptions and products.

Anti-Aging Solutions

Valued at over $63 billion, anti-aging and longevity medicines are expected to reach over $366 billion by 2032. Take advantage of this demand by offering enticing bundles with pharmaceutical-grade products, including:

Methylene Blue Capsules: Studies have suggested methylene blue may have antioxidant properties and may increase blood oxygen consumption.

Rapamycin (Sirolimus) Capsules: Long used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients, research indicates rapamycin may also be used to potentially slow down human aging and age-related disorders.

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide): Low NAD+ levels have been associated with age-related diseases and ailments linked to oxidative damage.

BCAA (Branched-chain amino acids) Injection: BCAAs are essential nutrients. Replenishing them supplementally may be beneficial as the human body doesn’t produce BCAA itself and have a vital role in metabolism.

Empower’s longevity line uses FDA-registered suppliers and manufacturersfor our APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) to produce high-quality products.

Weight Management with Lipos

Though GLP-1s may offer effective results for many patients, they are not a viable option for some. Alternatively, combining certain treatment options may help your patients achieve their desired results.

Addressing weight loss from different angles may help produce tangible outcomes that foster patient retention and referrals.

Lipotropes:

Lipotropic compounds may help the body process and eliminate fat. Ingredients in Lipo injections may offer benefits, like:

  • Energy boost: Lipo injections with B12 may contribute to increased energy levels for those deficient in the vitamin.
  • Weight loss: The lipotropic compounds may be used as a complementary tool to aid in weight loss by promoting the utilization of fat.
  • Liver detoxification: Choline in Lipo injections may help support liver functions and aid in detoxification.

Tailor-Made Hormone Replacement Therapy

As we age, we are likely to produce fewer hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. Your patients are likely feeling the symptoms of hormone imbalance without realizing it. Educating your patients on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be the first step in addressing the root issue.

HRT Treatment Plans

Hormone replacement therapy has been widely used as a treatment for hormone imbalance. Offer your patients a potential solution with a broad range of therapies.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy: Testosterone injections have been shown to be effective in addressing hypogonadism or low testosterone.

Estrogen and Progesterone Replacement Therapy: Hormone replacement therapy is considered the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms.

Thyroid Replacement Therapy: Regulating thyroid hormone levels supports metabolic function and general well-being.

Empower Pharmacy offers comprehensive hormone replacement therapy using compounded medications, including:
