Bask health is on Reddit - we should start our own telehealth for the sub - it’s seems easy
TL;DR: we need about $15,000 pooled and some overly respondent care team members (literally anyone in this sub could crush because we all know what sucks).
Can we make this is a serious possibility?
At this point I genuinely think some of us should just start your own telehealth company instead of posting “which provider sucks the least?” every six hours.
And apparently now you basically can, because Bask is openly posting stuff like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BaskHealth/s/bcNNFPxpqz and then following it up with articles/posts like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/BaskHealth/s/ytcGojr3TI talking about the infrastructure side of telehealth. They were just on Hims house literally today saying they expect 100,000s of new telehealth to spring up in the next few years.
How many new players have we seen in the last two weeks? Ola / Ezra etc etc etc.
Which is honestly hilarious timing considering this subreddit already functions like a decentralized operations department for the entire compounded tirzepatide industry. And most of the companies on here are on bask already. Someone even has a list of Beluga providers drifting around.
Also everyone here already knows how the business works. You guys know pharmacy delays, shipping states, intake forms, refill cadence, prior auths, 503a vs 503b, and which companies are secretly running the exact same backend with different logos and slightly different shades of blue on their websites.
Meanwhile half the complaints on here are not even about medication quality anymore. It’s literally just “they didn’t answer my email,” “the tracking didn’t update,” or “support copy-pasted a response that sounded like it was written by a hostage AI.”
Which means the actual competitive advantage now might just be acting like a normal human being for five consecutive business days. Look at the latest update to the list here— customer service is a requirement to be on the list now.
And apparently Bask already handles most of the infrastructure anyway, so from what I can tell the remaining job is basically: answer Reddit posts, survive chargebacks, calm people down when Hallandale takes longer than 14 minutes to ship, and avoid having your support team talk like LinkedIn motivational speakers during a fulfillment delay.
Honestly some of you would probably crush it. Others would last three days before posting “you people are impossible” and shutting the whole company down after your 900th “where’s my package?” email at 6:12 AM.
WHO WANTS A SUB RUN TELEHEALTH???
