The telehealth marketing agency directory.
Twenty-four growth, performance, and retention agencies that court health and telehealth brands, sorted by what they actually say about the two things a prescription business can check from the outside: certification, and what happens to patient-identifying data. Each is described in its own words, with fees quoted verbatim where they are public and "not stated" recorded where they are not. Every claim was verified against the agency's own pages on September 8, 2026; no page in this pass was unreachable, and results and scale claims are the agency's, never ours.
The finding that organized this page is an absence. Zero of 24 agencies say they will sign a business associate agreement, and three of 24 mention LegitScript at all, which is the gate Google and Meta put in front of your entire business. Two agencies handle the first gap honestly by naming the vendor one layer down that does sign; the rest of the category offers adjectives. Ask for a mechanism, not a badge.
Read this first: EmbedCare operates telehealth programs and is therefore an interested party, so read this as carefully sourced notes and verify against each agency directly. Nothing here is ranked and no agency paid to appear, deliberately: five of the 24 publish their own agency-ranking listicles, and this page is not a twenty-fifth. An absence recorded here means the claim was not on the pages we could reach on the verification date, not that an agency would refuse. Agency sites change constantly; the only terms that bind anyone are the ones in your contract. Corrections: anthony@embedcare.com.
Built for regulated health advertising.
These six lead with the regulated-advertising problem itself, platform policy and certification and claim language, rather than with channel craft. Six say the problem out loud. Two describe a mechanism specific enough to be wrong, which is the only kind of claim worth anything here. None of the six says it will sign a BAA. The first two rows carry the group and are ordered deliberately.
| Agency | What it is (its words) | LegitScript & ad policy | Patient data & BAA | Fees (Sep 8, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerated Digital Media | “Performance Marketing Built for Growth”, with healthcare as a named top-level vertical and telehealth, women’s health, clinics, and wellness as child pages under it. On telehealth: it “partners with telehealth providers to build compliant, data-driven marketing strategies”. | The most precisely scoped claim in the set, because it says where the help stops: “We offer guidance, though we can’t fill out the forms for you. Once certified, we assist in ensuring that your certification status is integrated with and recognized by the different ad platforms.” Its August 2026 guide states that Meta requires online pharmacies and telehealth providers to be actively LegitScript certified, and that Meta escalated enforcement of health conversion-tracking restrictions. | A named service rather than an adjective: “ADM conducts thorough HIPAA Compliance Audits and offers Tagging & Platform Privacy Analysis”, and “We connect brands with compliant customer data platforms, safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI)”. Note the verb: it connects you to a compliant platform. It does not say it signs a BAA, and “BAA” appears nowhere on its site. | Not stated. Its contact form offers monthly-budget bands, which are a self-selection prompt rather than a fee. |
| Matchnode | “A digital health marketing agency. We build and run HIPAA-compliant paid media programs for healthcare brands on Meta, Google, and connected TV.” Names telehealth, digital therapeutics, addiction treatment, virtual-first primary care, menopause care, and men’s health as served categories. | Dated and specific: “Google has required LegitScript certification since 2018 before approving ads for addiction treatment and behavioral health providers.” It also explains conversions API versus pixel and cites the 2024 hospital-association litigation over the tracking guidance, which is more legal context than any other agency here offers. | The clearest mechanism in the set, and the most honest about who carries the obligation: “Server-side tracking through a BAA-covered CDP filters PHI before any data reaches Meta or Google,” with identifiers stripped or hashed and consent applied, and “the CDP must operate under a signed Business Associate Agreement. Matchnode works with Ours Privacy as its default CDP.” Read that carefully: the CDP signs. Matchnode never says it does. | Not stated. The engagement shape is: a 90-day sprint. |
| AdBoost Health | “Growth marketing for fast-growing health brands”, and category-exclusive by its own FAQ: “We only work with health, telehealth, and supplement brands.” Its vertical list is the tightest match to this site’s reader anywhere in the set: GLP-1 and weight loss, telehealth, supplements, TRT and hormone, peptides, med spa, mental health, longevity, fertility. | A review promise without a mechanism: “Every asset reviewed against Meta, Google & TikTok health policies.” LegitScript is not mentioned at all, which is a conspicuous gap for an agency selling exclusively to telehealth and GLP-1 brands. | “HIPAA-aware.” No mechanism, and no BAA language. | Not stated; the words pricing and retainer do not appear on its homepage. |
| Peptide Ads | “A growth marketing agency built exclusively for research peptide brands”, running “compliant paid media, funnels, static creative, email, and the payment and fulfillment stack behind it”. Also names GLP-1 and compounded weight-loss brands and telehealth. | One genuinely category-specific mechanism, and it is the right one for its niche: research-use-only framing “carried consistently through the ad, the landing page and the checkout”. LegitScript is not mentioned. | Server-side conversion tracking is named, but framed as attribution rather than privacy, and no BAA language appears. | The only fee structure here stated as a share of results: a monthly retainer plus a 7% performance fee “charged only on revenue we can directly attribute to our work, with no long-term contract”. No dollar amount on the page. |
| L7 Creative | Biotech, healthtech, wellness, and medtech marketing, positioned on compliance: strategies “built on a foundation of compliance”. DTC telehealth is not one of its named verticals; telehealth appears in its guide as a category that needs certification, not as a client type it claims. | A service claim without a described mechanism: “helping clients through the LegitScript certification process, offering ongoing compliance support”, and it names Google, Meta, and Bing as requiring certification. | Not stated. | Not stated for its own work. It does publish third-party certification fee ranges, which is useful and is not a price for the agency. |
| Sweat Pants Agency | “We’re Not a Marketing Agency. We’re a Growth Engine on Retainer”, with a dedicated telehealth page: “Telehealth Marketing That Actually Converts. And Stays Compliant.” Names GLP-1 subscription brands, prescription skincare, virtual clinics, and healthcare subscription businesses. | Names the risks without a mechanism: “platform approval risks” and “claims language constraints”. LegitScript is not mentioned. | “HIPAA considerations, especially tracking + pixel usage.” A topic heading rather than a method, and no BAA language. | Not stated. |
Healthcare agencies whose buyer is a provider group, not a brand.
Real healthcare depth, aimed at a different buyer: multi-location practices, dental and medical service organizations, facilities, health systems. Their proof counts locations, admissions, and appointments, not subscribers. This group is here so you can rule it out in a minute rather than three calls, and it happens to contain the only two agencies on the page that name a figure for their own work.
| Agency | What it is (its words) | LegitScript & ad policy | Patient data & BAA | Fees (Sep 8, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare Success | The one agency in this group that straddles both buyers: a “telehealth marketing agency for virtual first and hybrid care brands”, naming men’s health, women’s health, GLP-1 and weight loss, behavioral health, and primary care, plus DTC telehealth and online-pharmacy categories directly. | Not stated on the pages checked. | Not stated on the pages checked. | A floor, stated plainly, which almost nobody in this category does: “Most Healthcare Success clients invest at least $10,000 per month in marketing.” |
| Power Digital / Cardinal | One organization on two live sites: “Cardinal is Power Digital’s dedicated healthcare division, built for patient acquisition, multi-location SEO, and healthcare-specific performance strategy.” Serves provider groups, multi-location networks, DSOs and MSOs, behavioral health, dental, and veterinary. DTC telehealth is not stated. Worth knowing before you shortlist both names: Cardinal’s own site does not disclose the relationship. | Not stated. | “HIPAA-safe paths” and “HIPAA-Aware Conversion Optimization”, with no mechanism behind either. Its own site supplies the best description of this whole tier: “Compliance as a Checkbox: HIPAA mentioned, but not operationalized.” | Not stated. |
| Webserv | “Performance Marketing Agency For Rehabs”, and in its own words “the only marketing agency built exclusively for addiction treatment and behavioral health” (its claim, quoted not adopted). A facility-side agency; telehealth and DTC health are not stated. | Not stated, which is notable for an agency built entirely around a category Google gates behind certification. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
| PatientGain | A hybrid of hosted software and services (“designers, SEO pros, account managers”) sold to medical and dental practices: internal medicine, urgent care, med spa, dentistry. Telehealth and DTC health are not stated. Included as this page’s pricing benchmark. | Not stated. | Badge only: “HIPAA compliant apps” and “HIPAA-compliant platform”, with no mechanism and no BAA language. | Fully public, and the most detailed on this page: “Typical pricing is $899 per month” on its GOLD offering and $1699 per month on the two tiers above it, with setup quoted at $8000 for a single location and $50,000 to $100,000 for large sites. |
| Perfect Search Media | A generalist performance agency with healthcare as a named vertical. Telehealth is not stated. | Nothing on the homepage. It does run a blog post on health ad restrictions, which is content rather than a service claim. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
| Brighter Click | Ecommerce, SaaS, and healthcare, with clinical-trial marketing as a named vertical. The healthcare work shown is clinical trials and ophthalmology; telehealth, supplements, and DTC health are not named. | Not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
Retention and lifecycle for subscription health.
Subscription health lives or dies on refill persistence, so this is a real category and two of the four name telehealth or prescription brands in their own positioning. The headline is a warning rather than a recommendation: not one of the four mentions HIPAA, PHI, or a business associate agreement, in the channel where patient status is most likely to leak into an email or SMS platform.
| Agency | What it is (its words) | LegitScript & ad policy | Patient data & BAA | Fees (Sep 8, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Propel | “AI-native health & wellness marketing agency. Lifecycle email, SMS & push for telehealth, DTC Rx and supplement brands, run on our platform.” The most on-target one-liner in this group. | Not stated. | “Built for regulated categories, security-aware.” The words HIPAA, PHI, and BAA appear zero times on its site, which is a striking absence for a vendor operating the channel where patient status is most likely to leak. | No figure. The structure is stated: “You pay on performance, not signature”, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. |
| YOCTO | A “retention-first Klaviyo agency” for supplements and wellness, beauty and skincare, and femtech and fertility. Telehealth and DTC Rx are not named verticals, though one client it names is a telehealth business. | Not stated. | Not stated. | No figure. The structure is stated: a monthly retainer scoped in hours, quoted after a free audit, rather than per-email or per-campaign. |
| Chronos Agency | “Retention Marketing Agency for DTC Brands”, with health as one of seven verticals alongside apparel, home, beauty, furniture, services, and B2B. Telehealth, supplements, and DTC Rx are not named. | Not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
| Sticky Digital | A retention agency describing itself as “Shopify’s Premier Retention Marketing Agency” and “the only full-service white glove retention agency” (its claims, quoted not adopted). No vertical is named on the site itself; its clients shown are pet, apparel, beauty, and consumer packaged goods. | Not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
Generalist DTC growth, with a health logo or a health blog post.
Strong ecommerce craft and real client rosters, with no regulated-health apparatus behind the health page. Several rank for health-agency queries on the strength of a single article. These rows are meant to look sparse, because the sparseness is the finding: a blog post is not a vertical, and a vertical page with no client, no figure, and no mechanism is not a practice. A creative and user-generated-content group was tested as a fifth category and rejected, because not one of the candidates named a telehealth or prescription client.
| Agency | What it is (its words) | LegitScript & ad policy | Patient data & BAA | Fees (Sep 8, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATTN Agency | “Growth marketing agency focused on profitable new customer acquisition for DTC and e-commerce brands.” No health vertical is named anywhere in its structure, despite an article on GLP-1 brand launches. | Not stated. | Not stated. | No figure. Terms only: “No hype. No long term contracts.” |
| NoGood | Healthcare is a named page, though the page’s opening defines the discipline rather than the agency. No sub-verticals are named: no telehealth, no digital health, no pharma. | Not stated. | A badge, and a misspelled one: its healthcare page names “HIPPA”, and the correct spelling of the statute appears zero times. | Not stated. |
| Darkroom | “The first AI-native advertising agency” (its claim, quoted not adopted), working with large commerce brands. No health vertical is named. | Not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
| Avenue Z | A PR and digital agency with health, beauty, and wellness as a named vertical. Telehealth and GLP-1 are not named verticals, though it publishes its own ranking listicle about GLP-1 telehealth marketing agencies. | Not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
| Lilo Social | A full-funnel ecommerce growth agency. No vertical is named; its health-adjacent clients are supplement brands rather than telehealth. | Not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. |
| Y’all | A performance-creative agency for DTC brands: “the majority of our clients are in the health & wellness, food & beverage, fashion, and home goods industries”. Telehealth is not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. | An explicit refusal, quotable and fair: “Our pricing varies based on the scope of services required.” |
| UGC Factory | A creator-content operation headed “the UGC partner that powers top health & wellness brands”. Health and wellness is a named page; telehealth and prescription products are not stated. | Not stated. | Not stated. | No figure. Package composition only: a monthly volume of ads, a number of creators, and a delivery window. |
| inBeat | “Healthcare marketing agency for compliant campaigns”, for “healthcare, wellness, and health tech brands that need growth without loose claims”. The word telehealth appears zero times on that page. | Not stated. | Not stated. Its one regulatory commitment is a different statute entirely: “We make sure creator partnerships follow FTC disclosure guidelines”, which is an influencer-labeling duty, not health-claim substantiation. | Not stated; the words pricing, retainer, and minimum appear zero times on its healthcare page. |
Reading this category without getting sold.
Three habits are worth carrying into every call. First, separate a mechanism from a badge: an agency that says server-side tracking filters identifying data through a named platform before anything reaches Meta has told you something you can check, and an agency that says it is "HIPAA-aware" has told you nothing. Second, notice who carries the obligation. The two strongest agencies here both point at a vendor one layer down and say that vendor signs the agreement, which is honest and is also not the same as the agency signing it. Third, read logo strips and result grids as marketing: one agency in this pass shows global consumer brands inside a strip captioned as health founders, while separately and honestly disclosing that its case-study brand names are anonymized. Both things can be true, and neither is evidence about your program.
Three entities were examined and left off deliberately. LegitScript is the certifier rather than an agency, and is cited on our certification pages instead. Curve is compliance software rather than an agency, and belongs to the tools directory, where it is worth noting that the only explicit commitment to sign a business associate agreement found in this entire pass came from a software vendor, not from any agency. One further candidate turned out to be a category mismatch on inspection. This page is re-verified on the quarterly runbook cadence, and additions require the same same-day verification pass it was built from.
Questions operators actually ask.
Will any of these agencies sign a BAA?
None of the 24 says so in public, and that is the single most useful fact on this page. Two handle the gap honestly rather than hiding it, and the distinction matters: Matchnode routes tracking through a customer data platform and says that platform must operate under a signed business associate agreement, naming the one it uses by default; Accelerated Digital Media says it connects brands to compliant data platforms and sells HIPAA audits as a service. Both are describing a vendor one layer down, not taking the obligation themselves. If your agency will touch anything that identifies a patient, that is a contract question to settle before the first campaign, and the answer belongs in writing.
Do these agencies understand LegitScript?
Three of 24 mention it at all, which is remarkable given that certification is the gate Google and Meta put in front of the entire business. Two of the three draw a precise boundary: Accelerated Digital Media says it advises but will not complete the application, then helps make the certification recognized across ad platforms once granted; L7 Creative claims support through the process without describing the mechanism; Matchnode dates Google's requirement for behavioral health to 2018. The other 21 say nothing, including one agency that sells exclusively to telehealth and GLP-1 brands and another built exclusively for addiction treatment. Our own guide to the certification requirement is the place to start before any agency call.
Which of these agencies name a price?
Three of 24 name a figure for their own work: Healthcare Success states a floor of at least $10,000 a month, PatientGain lists tiers from $899 a month with setup quoted separately, and Peptide Ads names a percentage rather than an amount, a monthly retainer plus a 7% performance fee on attributable revenue. Five more describe how they charge without a number: a 90-day sprint, a retainer scoped in hours, performance-based billing, an explicit refusal to quote generically, and a package composition. Sixteen say nothing at all. Three plus five plus sixteen is the whole census of 24.
How do I evaluate a health marketing agency, then?
Ask for a mechanism, not an adjective. “HIPAA-aware”, “HIPAA-safe paths”, “HIPAA considerations”, and “built for regulated categories” are the four phrases this category actually uses, and none of them describes anything you can verify. The questions that separate the tiers: which specific vendor signs the BAA, and can I see it; how does patient-identifying data get filtered before it reaches an ad platform, named product by named product; who completes and maintains the LegitScript certification, and what happens to my ads while it is pending; and which of your case studies is a cash-pay DTC prescription brand rather than a clinic. One agency's own site names the failure mode better than we could: compliance as a checkbox, HIPAA mentioned but not operationalized.
Why does this page not rank the agencies?
Because five of the 24 publish their own agency-ranking listicles, and adding a twenty-fifth ranked list to that pile would be worth nothing to you. Every result figure in this category is unauditable, most case studies are anonymized, and inclusion here implies no relationship or endorsement. What this page does instead is state what each agency says about the two things that are checkable from outside, certification and patient-data handling, and let the absences speak. Where a claim is the agency's own, it is quoted and attributed.
How is EmbedCare different from hiring one of these agencies?
An agency runs the growth layer on top of a business you are operating: you still hold the certification, the pixels, the patient data, and the compliance posture, and the agency's exposure ends at the campaign. EmbedCare operates the business itself behind your brand, with 50-state clinicians, owned pharmacy supply with medication included on GLP-1 programs, the storefront, retention, and compliance, on flat product rates fixed in a signed partner agreement, with a self-serve Launch tier starting at $495/mo. Plenty of partners still hire an agency for creative and media buying; the difference is what is underneath the ads.
