Is Foundation Health a white label telehealth platform?

Partly. Foundation Health offers a white-labeled digital pharmacy and front door plus a network of 1,000+ telehealth providers, mostly consumed through its API, so the customer or its engineers assemble the product. Tessic Health delivers the assembled clinic under the brand's name, with providers, pharmacy, billing, retention, and compliance operated by Tessic.

How much does Foundation Health cost?

Foundation Health publishes no price list; terms are custom, and a 2026 TelehealthTech roundup lists SaaS, per-visit, PMPM, and revenue-share models. Tessic Health publishes $25 per completed consult with 0% medication markup and no revenue share, Launch at $1,000 a month after an $8,000 setup, Grow at $2,000 after $15,000, and Scale at $4,000 after $25,000, month to month.

PAIGE AI is Foundation Health's in-house AI pharmacist assistant for prior authorization and patient communication, which the company says can reduce care team workload by up to 75%. Tessic Health's automation targets the cash-pay consumer clinic: automated care workflows, email, SMS, and iMessage sequences, and failed-payment recovery on Grow, with Tessic AI+ Business Intelligence available as a $499 a month add-on.

What is the best Foundation Health alternative for a consumer brand?

Health systems and engineering-led companies that want pharmacy and telehealth as API building blocks fit Foundation Health. A consumer brand that wants the clinic running under its name in days, with published pricing, no revenue share, and the patients and data owned by the brand, fits Tessic Health.

Tessic vs Foundation Health

The verdict

Choose Tessic Health

The brand gets a complete telehealth clinic running behind its own name without building one: licensed providers in all 50 states, wholesale pharmacy with cold-chain delivery, e-prescribing with EPCS, subscription billing, retention automation, and analytics, with the MSO, friendly-PC, and LegitScript work handled in setup. The terms are published: $25 per completed consult, 0% medication markup, no revenue share, month to month, and the client owns the patients, records, and data.

Choose Foundation Health only if

The buyer is a health system, pharma manufacturer, health plan, or engineering-led digital health company that wants pharmacy, telehealth, and prior-authorization automation as programmable parts, and has the developers to build the patient experience and the budget for custom enterprise terms. That buyer gives up a published price, takes on a build measured in weeks, and, per a 2026 TelehealthTech roundup, may be offered a revenue-share model. A consumer brand that wants to sell treatment without writing integration code gets the finished clinic from Tessic Health, live in days, at $25 per consult with 0% markup and no revenue share.

Where Tessic Health differs from Foundation Health

An assembled clinic, not an API to build against

Foundation Health exposes patients, consultations, prescriptions, orders, labs, and webhooks as REST endpoints for a customer's engineers to wire together. Tessic Health runs the finished clinic under the client's brand, with storefront, intake, providers, pharmacy, billing, and retention already connected, so launch takes days and no engineering team.

Economics on the pricing page

Tessic Health prints $25 per completed consult, 0% medication markup, no revenue share, and plans from $1,000 a month. Foundation Health publishes no price list, and a 2026 TelehealthTech roundup lists SaaS, per-visit, PMPM, and revenue-share models, so the brand's margin depends on a negotiation.

Built for the consumer brand

Foundation Health names health systems such as Intermountain Health and Hackensack Meridian Health as customers, and its automation centers on prior authorization, refills, and 340B. Tessic Health is built for the consumer brand, with retention sequences, failed-payment recovery, and LTV analytics on Grow, and weight care, hormone therapy, sexual health, skin, hair, mental health, longevity, and primary care included on every plan.

Structure and certification in the client's name

Foundation Health holds HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2, and LegitScript approval for its own platform. Tessic Health drafts and maintains the MSO and friendly-PC structure for the client's ownership and prepares and files the client's LegitScript application during setup, so the certification belongs to the brand.

What Foundation Health is and who it is for

Foundation Health is a healthcare infrastructure company founded in 2023 by Umar Afridi, a pharmacist who co-founded the pharmacy API company Truepill. It sells a white-labeled digital pharmacy, a telehealth network, diagnostics, and a developer API to health systems, consumer health brands, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and health plans. It raised a $20 million Series A in October 2025 led by Define Ventures, bringing total funding to $26 million, and names Intermountain Health and Hackensack Meridian Health as customers.

Its pitch centers on automation. PAIGE AI, the company's in-house pharmacist assistant, handles prior authorization and patient communication, and Foundation Health says it can reduce care team workload by up to 75%. Its site lists 1,000+ specialty telehealth providers, 50-state pharmacy coverage, and capacity for up to 100,000 prescriptions a day, all reachable through a REST API with a sandbox and webhooks. The buyer it fits best has an engineering team and an insurance-heavy pharmacy workflow.

Tessic Health serves the consumer brand that wants the clinic finished: licensed providers in all 50 states, wholesale pharmacy with cold-chain delivery, e-prescribing and EPCS, labs, subscription billing, retention automation, and analytics, running under the client's brand in days, with the MSO and friendly-PC structure and the LegitScript application handled as part of setup. Foundation Health negotiates terms per customer. Tessic Health publishes $25 per completed consult, 0% medication markup, and no revenue share, month to month, with the client owning the billing relationship and the patients.

Where Foundation Health stands out

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

PAIGE AI pharmacy automation

PAIGE AI automates prior authorization and patient communication, and Foundation Health says it can cut care team workload by up to 75%, a real advantage for insurance-billed and specialty therapies. Tessic Health runs the automation a cash-pay consumer clinic needs on Grow: email, SMS, and iMessage sequences, automated care workflows, and failed-payment recovery, with revenue, retention, and LTV analytics showing what those workflows earn.

A developer-first API

A documented REST API with a sandbox, OAuth, and webhooks for prescriptions, orders, shipments, and lab results gives engineering teams fine-grained control. Tessic Health offers API, webhook, and MCP access on Grow, and a sandbox and custom integrations on Scale, on top of a clinic that already runs, so the brand writes code when it chooses to and launches in days either way.

Pharmacy scale and team pedigree

The founding team built Truepill, and Foundation Health lists 50-state pharmacy coverage, 10,000+ medications, capacity for up to 100,000 prescriptions a day, $26 million raised, and HIPAA, SOC 2 Type 2, and LegitScript approval. Tessic Health pairs wholesale pharmacy at 0% markup and cold-chain home delivery with SOC 2 Type II, SSO, and an uptime SLA on Scale, and the pharmacy margin on every order stays with the brand.

Health-system and EHR integration

Named customers include Intermountain Health and Hackensack Meridian Health, and PAIGE AI integrates with Epic, a fit for health systems running pharmacy inside an EHR. For a brand that already has an EHR, Tessic Prescribe plugs Tessic's providers, pharmacy, and prescribing rails into the existing stack, live in under a week, with eRx, EPCS, labs, cold-chain, and compliance built in.

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.
