Successful telehealth businesses for 2025 must integrate four revenue streams: Direct-to-Consumer, Employer, Payor, and Ancillary. Relying solely on DTC visits is not viable, as scalability demands a balanced approach to margins and compliance. First-hand experience showed that securing employer accounts provides substantial returns, often exceeding DTC revenue. Targeting employers dealing with chronic care issues can drive profitable partnerships, thereby subsidizing direct consumer efforts. Successful models leverage bundled care options and adapt continuously to market demand while ensuring sustainable business practices.
Telehealth businesses built for 2025 and beyond can't survive on DTC visits alone. The ones that scale combine four revenue streams: Direct-to-Consumer, Employer, Payor and Ancillary, into a model that balances margin, compliance and demand.
When we built our first virtual clinic, we assumed individuals would pay out of pocket for convenience. They did, but not in the volumes needed to cover CAC. The real ROI showed up when we signed our first self-insured employer.
