Beluga is the clinical engine behind digital brands.DrWell runs your practice's weight and wellness program.
Beluga Health is a physician-led clinical engine for digital health brands, offering its physicians, pharmacy routing and compliance through an API or a platform partner. DrWell Connect is a practice platform for cash-pay weight loss, HRT and peptide programs, built for practices whose own providers see their own patients.
Beluga is built for API-first operators, and your practice sees patients
Beluga is designed as an engine that digital brands plug into: visit types, physician routing, pharmacy models and webhooks. That suits a team with a storefront and engineers. A practice with an exam room and local patients needs less of it, and an integration built for API-first operators means paying for, and learning, capabilities a local practice does not use.
Fifty-state access is not fifty-state revenue
Beluga offers physicians in all 50 states and DC. Beluga says it does not source patients, and that partners handle their own marketing. That means a practice earns revenue in a state only if it advertises there. Unless a practice has a large budget to spend in every state, the added coverage mostly goes unused, and its best patients remain the ones near its own location, reviews and referrals. National coverage in weight and wellness is not a realistic plan for most practices, so the better return is running your own practice well: orders, billing, follow-up and retention for the patients you already have.
Beluga supports founders launching a first telehealth brand, established brands switching providers, and technology operators with their own systems, with partners keeping the brand and the customer relationship. For medication-adjacent workflows, Beluga physicians cover all 50 states and DC across more than 70 visit types, and pharmacy runs three ways: bring your own pharmacy through Surescripts, a partner network with automatic rerouting, or a hybrid with manufacturer-direct branded GLP-1s plus partner pharmacies. In-person practices are not mentioned.
DrWell connects enrollment, payment status and the treatment plan to the next medication order. The first eligible order can be generated when treatment begins, and later orders can follow successful payment with planned dose progression. Multiple medications can be managed in one subscription, reducing the number of separate recurring workflows your staff has to maintain.
DrWell includes a pre-vetted 503A and 503B pharmacy network covering all 50 states and DC. If an eligible order cannot be filled through its original route, the platform can reroute it within the network. Your EMR remains the practice system while DrWell manages the medication-program fulfillment workflow.
In the API path the partner manages payment processing and passes a payment token, and Beluga states no merchant lock-in. Merchant of record, failed-payment handling and payouts are not published. DrWell is the merchant of record for program payments and uses high-risk processing, with payouts arriving next day and the cost of goods and platform service fee already deducted.
No payment platform can control another processor's underwriting decisions. The value of this structure is separation: eligible medication-program transactions do not need to run through the merchant account your practice depends on for ordinary services.
Beluga can continue supporting its existing patient workflows: in the API path the partner builds the patient portal, e-commerce and CRM, and the platform-partner path supplies a white-label stack. Pause, cancel and card update are not published.
CareOS adds medication-program self-service, including program billing status, card updates, pauses and medication order tracking from shipment through delivery. Versioned medication consent is completed before checkout, and identity is verified before an order is created.
Beluga provides broader program reporting, including a partner dashboard in the platform fee that shows pharmacy cost. Dashboard contents are not published.
DrWell adds order-level visibility into medication cost of goods, shipping and the platform service fee, helping owners forecast program margin as treatment doses change.
