| Pharmacy model | Effecty describes itself as a technology platform, not a medical practice or pharmacy. Per its consent-to-telehealth document, the platform runs on Bask Health Inc. infrastructure and clinical care is delivered by Beluga Health, P.A., an independent medical group, via asynchronous (chat/questionnaire-based) telehealth. Its site states that if medication is prescribed it is dispensed by state-licensed pharmacies, including compounding pharmacies; the Terms refer only to an unnamed "Effecty Pharmacy Network." No compounding pharmacy partner is named anywhere on the public site reviewed (homepage, Terms, FAQ, shipping policy, product pages). | Hims is unusually vertically integrated for a GLP-1 telehealth brand: Hims & Hers Health, Inc. owns and operates its own pharmacy and manufacturing chain rather than only contracting out. Per its FY2025 Form 10-K, the company operates two licensed 503A mail-order pharmacies that fill solely for its own customers - Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC and XeCare, LLC, both now wholly-owned subsidiaries - plus a licensed 503B outsourcing facility, MedisourceRx (acquired September 2024 as Seaview Enterprises, LLC, for $31.0 million; Los Alamitos, CA), which compounded its injectable semaglutide, and a peptide manufacturing facility. The consumer Terms also name third-party partner pharmacies (EHT Pharmacy LLC dba Curexa, CD Pharmacy LLC dba Red Rock Pharmacy, AnazaoHealth Corporation, and Strive Specialties, Inc.). During the April-June 2025 Novo Nordisk bundle, brand-name Wegovy was dispensed through Novo's own NovoCare Pharmacy accessed via the Hims platform. Prescriptions are written by providers in affiliated 'You Health' professional medical groups; Hims & Hers states in its Terms that it is not itself a healthcare provider. |
