Switching from OpenLoop?
The OpenLoop alternative that owns the pharmacy.
OpenLoop staffs your telehealth program — clinicians, admin, support. Embed Care operates the whole business behind your brand, including the layer that decides your margin: owned pharmacy supply.
Your vendor rents you clinicians. Your margin lives in the fill.
Embed Care vs OpenLoop, model by model
OpenLoop positions as white-label telehealth support (clinician staffing + admin services). Here's where the models differ.
| Dimension | OpenLoop | Embed Care |
|---|---|---|
| Clinician workforce | Yes — staffed network | Credentialed 50-state network, routed on an SLA — one contract |
| Pharmacy supply | Partner pharmacies — not owned | Owned pharmacy supply network — integrated compounding pharmacies |
| Storefront & funnel | Limited — bring your own | Included — white-label storefront + intake on your domain |
| Conversion & retention engine | Not core | Shipped — funnels, SMS/email, refills, winback |
| Compliance operations | Shared responsibility | Operated — LegitScript, HIPAA, state prescribing |
| Contract shape | Multiple service line items | Flat product rates; your margin flexes, ours doesn't |
| Brand & data ownership | Yours | Yours — brand, patients, and data stay with you |
Comparison is model-level, based on each vendor's public positioning as of mid-2026; capabilities and terms change — verify independently. All trademarks belong to their owners; Embed Care is not affiliated with or endorsed by any vendor named.
This is the margin running through your stack.
Every layer you rent — workforce fees, marked-up fills, platform take — comes out of this number. Owned pharmacy supply and flat product rates give the spread back to you.
Margin Engine
Set your active patients — this is the margin running through your stack.
Modeled on a representative blended program mix across care lines — DTC GLP-1 subscriptions alone run ~$199/mo in the market. Illustrative estimate only; actual results vary with mix, retention, pricing, and medication costs. Not guaranteed earnings.
Switch without a rebuild.
- 01
Connect
We integrate with your existing storefront, intake, and funnel — everything your patients see stays exactly as it is.

Cut over
Move the book when the numbers win. Add care lines when you're ready.
If you only need staffing hours plugged into a stack you're happy with — and your pharmacy economics already work — a staffing-first vendor is a reasonable fit. The switch case is margin: when the fill, the funnel, and the workforce should be one P&L instead of three vendors.
