Proprietary platform enhancements elevate LifeMD's GLP-1 weight management program with best-in-class clinician-directed care and personalized guidance

NEW YORK, June 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary care services, today announced the formal launch of its GLP-1 weight management program following a successful pilot earlier this year. The formal launch of LifeMD’s weight management program coincides with bespoke platform enhancements built to support and personalize patient weight loss journeys, including treatment with prescription GLP-1 medications. LifeMD now offers a complete end-to-end solution for weight management, including a mobile application, clinician-directed customized treatment plans, interactive tracking tools, treatment information, and personalized educational resources.

The platform enhancements further support a comprehensive weight management program based on LifeMD’s unique approach to primary care. The program offers direct and consistent access to leading medical providers who oversee all aspects of the weight loss journey, including medical intake, diagnostic testing, treatment, and ongoing clinical support. If deemed clinically appropriate, eligible participants are provided access to GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Ozempic. LifeMD’s enhanced weight management patient portal serves as a convenient hub for patients, providing step-by-step guidance, partnerships to assist with insurance coverage, continuous access to a dedicated care team, and the option for on-demand consultations with a LifeMD-affiliated provider.

"There are multiple factors that influence a person's ability to lose weight and maintain it, and GLP-1 receptor agonists have proven to be a valuable catalyst for many individuals to kick-start this process," said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LifeMD. "At LifeMD, we are dedicated to helping qualified patients access these groundbreaking drugs while ensuring that they receive evidence-based guidelines and the highest standard of care. Our program not only offers new hope in addressing the obesity epidemic, but it also promotes healthier lifestyle choices and sustainable long-term health benefits. We are delighted to see the positive traction in our weight management efforts, which has more than doubled the revenue run-rate of our primary care business since the pilot launch."
