LifeMD, Inc. (Nasdaq: LFMD), a leading provider of virtual primary
care services, today announced the official opening of its
state-of-the-art affiliated pharmacy, marking an important
milestone in creating a fully integrated, end-to-end telehealth
platform. This new 22,500-square-foot facility, located in
Lancaster, PA and designed to fill up to 5,000 daily prescriptions,
allows LifeMD to offer patients a more cohesive care journey for
relevant conditions — from initial consultation to prescription
fulfillment — within a single integrated ecosystem.
The launch of this pharmacy uniquely enhances
LifeMD’s vertically integrated telehealth platform, which now
includes a proprietary virtual-first care technology platform, a
50-state affiliated medical group, a U.S.-based patient care
center, and a vertically integrated pharmacy. The integration of
pharmacy services directly within the LifeMD platform is expected
to yield substantial financial benefits, with LifeMD projecting
approximately $5 million in annualized expense savings. LifeMD’s
affiliated pharmacy is expected to be licensed in all 50 states,
Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico by the end of the year.
Transformative Benefits of the New
LifeMD Pharmacy:
- Complete, End-to-End
Patient Experience: With the addition of pharmacy
capabilities, LifeMD now offers a fully integrated and cohesive
experience, ensuring continuity of care at every stage — from
consultation and diagnosis to medication fulfillment — all managed
within the LifeMD platform.
- Enhanced Capacity:
With current capacity to process up to 5,000 daily prescriptions
and the ability to expand, the pharmacy is poised to support
LifeMD’s rapidly growing patient base, ensuring faster and more
reliable medication delivery. This capacity will also enable the
pharmacy to eventually support LifeMD’s expanding GLP-1 medication
offerings.
- Cost Savings: By
integrating pharmacy services, LifeMD projects annualized expense
savings of approximately $5 million. These savings enhance
operating margins and enable further investments in patient care
and platform enhancements.
- Curated Patient
Experience: The pharmacy allows LifeMD to deliver a
personalized experience, including customized care packages and
bundled shipments that combine prescription and wellness products,
tailored to each patient’s unique needs and health journey.
"The launch of our affiliated pharmacy
represents a transformative milestone for LifeMD as we become one
of the few fully integrated telehealth providers in the country,”
said Justin Schreiber, Chairman and CEO of LifeMD. “This facility
will allow us to deliver a truly curated, end-to-end care
experience that not only improves patient convenience and
satisfaction, but also enhances the quality and affordability of
care. With patients now offered a fully integrated journey, we are
uniquely positioned to set a new standard in patient-centric
telehealth and personalized healthcare.”
