About Sesame Subscriptions

Build stronger patient relationships and sustainable revenue.

Sesame’s subscription programs give providers an opportunity to offer ongoing, personalized care while generating predictable monthly recurring revenue. Patients who subscribe tend to stay longer, stay healthier, and deliver higher lifetime value for your practice.

How subscriptions work:
When a patient enrolls in one of your Sesame subscription programs, they begin with an initial video visit to establish care, review their goals, and set a treatment plan.
After that, you can manage care in the way that best fits your workflow and clinical judgment:

Providers are paid monthly, when the patient’s subscription renews.

Subscriptions allow you to deliver consistent, proactive care while giving patients a convenient way to stay connected to you and their treatment plan.

Success by Sesame Overview

Provider responsibilities include:

Follow-Up Appointments

Free scheduled video follow-ups are included with the patient's subscription. Patients can book follow-up visits at any time and at any frequency.

You may also conduct a follow-up asynchronously through Sesame Messaging if it is clinically appropriate and the patient agrees. Always honor a scheduled video follow-up if the patient requests one.

Compounded GLP-1s

Please refer to our September 2025 clinical guidance on compounded GLP-1s.

Please note: Compounded GLP-1 access is narrowing nationwide as brand-name supply stabilizes and regulatory scrutiny increases. As branded GLP-1 medications continue to become more accessible and pricing becomes more competitive, many patients will ultimately need to transition to name-brand options. We encourage clinicians to begin planning for this longer-term shift when discussing treatment plans with patients.
