What is the best SteadyMD alternative for a new telehealth brand?

Tessic Health, for a brand that does not already run its own product, pharmacy, and billing. Tessic supplies the providers in all 50 states together with the storefront, pharmacy, billing, retention, analytics, and the MSO structure, on published pricing. A company that already runs its own product and only needs clinicians and credentialing stays with SteadyMD.

Does SteadyMD offer white label telehealth?

SteadyMD embeds its clinicians in the client's own patient experience through custom APIs, so the brand experience is the client's product rather than a hosted white-label clinic. Tessic Health supplies the hosted white-label storefront, intake, and portal under the brand's name along with the providers, pharmacy, and compliance.

Can a founder without a medical license use SteadyMD or Tessic Health?

Tessic Health drafts and maintains the MSO and friendly-PC structure for every brand on its platform: licensed clinicians own the medical practice, and the client's company owns the business and brand. That is what lets a non-clinician own the brand. SteadyMD's public materials describe services for companies that already operate a product and do not detail an ownership structure for a new brand; ask SteadyMD directly. This is general information, not legal advice.

CLINICIAN WORKFORCE AND CLINICAL OPERATIONS PARTNER

Tessic vs SteadyMD

Tessic Health runs an entire telehealth clinic under a client's brand, with economics published before the first call. SteadyMD supplies hundreds of board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners in all 50 states as a managed clinical workforce, wrapped in clinical operations, licensing and credentialing services, and APIs that plug into a product the client already runs. One company sells the clinic; the other sells the clinicians.

The verdict

Choose Tessic Health

The brand gets a complete, operated telehealth clinic behind its own name with published economics: providers licensed in all 50 states, wholesale pharmacy with cold-chain delivery, patient software, subscription billing, retention automation, analytics, and compliance on one platform. The client owns the patients, the records, and the data, and Tessic takes no cut of revenue.

Choose SteadyMD only if

The buyer already runs its own product, pharmacy relationship, and billing system and needs only a managed clinical workforce with capacity planning and credentialing behind it, integrated through APIs on a quoted engagement. That buyer still has to build and operate everything around the clinicians, and it learns the price after the sales cycle rather than before. Tessic Health supplies the clinicians and the rest of the clinic together, on published terms: a flat $25 per completed consult, 0% medication markup, no revenue share, and month-to-month terms with the patients, records, and data owned by the client. For a brand that wants a clinic rather than a staffing contract, Tessic Health is the whole answer.

Where Tessic Health differs from SteadyMD

The whole clinic, not the clinicians alone

Tessic Health arrives with the storefront, intake, portal, pharmacy, billing, retention, and analytics already running behind the brand. SteadyMD supplies clinicians and operations to a product the client builds and runs.

Published economics

Tessic prints $25 per completed consult, 0% medication markup, no revenue share, Launch $1,000 a month after $8,000 setup, Grow $2,000 after $15,000, and Scale $4,000 after $25,000, month to month. SteadyMD publishes no rate card.

Built for a non-clinician owner

Tessic drafts and maintains the MSO and friendly-PC structure, in which licensed clinicians own the medical practice and the client's company owns the business and brand, so a founder without a medical license can own the brand. SteadyMD's public materials address companies that already operate a product, not the ownership structure of a new brand.

What SteadyMD is and who it is for

SteadyMD powers telehealth services in all 50 states for digital health companies, urgent care, lab and diagnostic companies, pharmaceutical companies, AI and chatbot companies, weight management companies, and healthcare systems, per its site. The core offer is a clinical workforce of hundreds of active board-certified physicians and nurse practitioners covering urgent care, primary care, family medicine, and weight management, delivered through phone, messaging, and video visits, asynchronous and synchronous, 24 hours a day, every day, at more than 200,000 telehealth visits a month. It is part of DocGo, per its footer.

Around the clinicians SteadyMD sells operations: recruiting, hiring, and training; forecasting and capacity planning; day-to-day management and scheduling; clinical protocols for prescriptions, labs, and ongoing care; state-by-state legal requirements; clinician oversight of AI chatbot output; and licensing and credentialing services built on its BlocHealth acquisition. Its technology is API-first: custom APIs let a company embed SteadyMD clinicians in its own patient experience, alongside a Digital Clinic product. The site names Amazon Clinic, 98point6, and AmerisourceBergen among partners. Pricing and time to launch are not published.

Tessic Health runs a different shape of business. Its providers are licensed in all 50 states and arrive with the storefront, intake, and patient portal under the brand's name, a wholesale pharmacy with cold-chain delivery, e-prescribing and EPCS, labs, subscription billing, retention automation and analytics, and the MSO and friendly-PC structure, HIPAA program, and LegitScript application handled as part of setup, at a published $25 per completed consult with 0% medication markup and no revenue share. A company with its own product and pharmacy can plug SteadyMD clinicians into it; a brand that wants the clinic operated launches on Tessic.

Where SteadyMD stands out

Every real strength SteadyMD has, with the Tessic Health answer beside it.

A managed clinical workforce at scale

Hundreds of physicians and nurse practitioners in every state, run with forecasting, capacity planning, and scheduling, at more than 200,000 visits a month, per its site. Tessic Health also fields licensed providers in all 50 states on every plan, credentialed under the client's brand, and delivers them with the pharmacy, billing, and compliance already attached, at a flat $25 per completed consult.

Credentialing and licensing as a service

Primary-source credentialing, state licensing, and DEA registrations are handled by its credentialing team, built on the BlocHealth acquisition. On Tessic Health the providers arrive already credentialed and managed, the MSO and friendly-PC structure is drafted and maintained for the client's ownership, and the LegitScript application is prepared and filed as part of setup, so the brand never buys credentialing as a separate service.

API-first integration

Custom APIs embed SteadyMD clinicians inside the client's own product, which suits companies with an existing patient experience and pharmacy. A brand that does not already own those pieces has to build them first. Tessic Health ships the storefront, patient portal, intake, subscription billing, and wholesale pharmacy with cold-chain delivery under the brand's name, so the clinic goes live in days instead of after an integration project.

WHAT TO ASK

Six questions for every partner on the list.

The answers separate a clinic you own from a clinic you rent.

Who owns the patients?

Ask whether patients, records, and data leave with you on day one of a cancellation, and what that export looks like in practice.

What is the medication margin?

A markup on medication is a hidden revenue share. Ask for the wholesale invoice next to what you are billed.

Is there a revenue share?

Percent-of-revenue terms scale against you. Flat platform fees do not.

How many states on launch day?

Coverage that fills in over quarters is a launch that happens over quarters. Ask for the licensed count today.

Who holds the legal structure?

Ask who owns the professional corporation, who drafts the MSO agreement, and whether it is drafted for your ownership.

What is the contract term?

Month-to-month is only offered by partners confident the clinic performs. Multi-year lock-ins say the opposite.
