Front Desk GLP-1 Briefing Card (60 Seconds)

Published 2026-10-26

When someone asks “Do you prescribe GLP-1?” the front desk has 60 seconds to educate, book, and stay in lane. Answer: “We partner with independent licensed providers who handle all medical decisions; I can get you information and book a consult.” Never quote dose, price per milligram, or guarantee approval.

The 60-second flow

  1. Smile + clarify role — “Great question—we offer a coaching program under our brand, and members can request a review by an independent licensed provider.”
  2. One-sentence program — “Coaching happens here. Any medical review is done by an independent licensed provider, and if they prescribe, a licensed pharmacy ships to your home.”
  3. Qualify interest — “Are you already working with someone on weight loss, or exploring options?”
  4. Book — Info call or enrollment conversation with a trained staff member (not clinical review).
  5. Handoff card — Intake link only after they enroll; front desk does not collect medical history on paper.

Say this / not that

“How much is semaglutide?”“Our coaching program has set pricing. Any medical costs come from the provider side. Let’s book a time to go over the program.”“$X per month for the shot.”
“Am I eligible?”“An independent licensed provider reviews your intake—that’s not something I can decide.”“You qualify—you just need BMI 30.”
“Can I pick up vials here?”“Medication ships to your home from the pharmacy; we don’t store it.”“We keep some in back.”
“Is it FDA-approved?”“Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The provider can explain your options, including FDA-approved medications.”“Totally FDA-approved.”

WE DO: Educate · Book program consults · Send intake AFTER enrollment WE DON'T: Prescribe · Dose · Promise results · Store medication

Script: "We partner with independent licensed providers for all medical decisions. I can schedule a [15-min info / enrollment] conversation and answer how the program works."

Clinical questions → provider's Care Team (contact from your vendor) Emergency → call 911 Other symptoms → provider's Care Team same day — do not coach

Three mistakes that cost money or get you in trouble

  1. Front desk collecting symptoms on a sticky note—PHI and scope violation.
  2. Posting “walk-ins welcome for GLP-1” without compliance review.
  3. Quoting medication prices of any kind—your business does not sell medication.

Worked example

Walk-in: “My friend gets Ozempic online—can you match?” Desk: “We’re a coaching program, and medical care comes from independent licensed providers. I can’t speak to her pharmacy, but I can book you with [Coach] to see if our program fits. Tomorrow at 10 or 4?”

Training cadence

Insert MD onboarding includes client-facing scripts on the kickoff call (see support models compared).

Deep dive: role-play drills (10 minutes daily)

Drill 1 — Eligibility fishing: Member tries to get desk to say they qualify. Practice deflection to consult. Drill 2 — Price fishing: Member wants per-mg price. Practice program redirect. Drill 3 — Side effect panic: Member feels dizzy after workout. Practice 911 vs care-team triage (emergency vs clinical question).

Escalation tree

`` Symptom during workout → 911 if emergency Clinical question → Care team line Billing on clinical charge → Platform support Angry denial letter → Owner + care team ``

Hiring note

Front desk turnover is high—record a 3-minute Loom for new hires using this script. Insert MD 24/7 text support is for owners, not members—do not give members the owner support line for clinical issues.

Operator playbook (extended)

Use this section as a weekly staff huddle outline. Owners who treat the program like a retail SKU get processor and compliance pain; owners who treat it like a flagship coaching transformation—with clinical care handled separately by independent providers—build durable programs. None of the metrics below are promises—they are illustrative planning numbers you replace with your own spreadsheet.

Insert MD targets platform setup within 24 hours—your program live, with a first order walked through on the onboarding call (setup, not patients treated). Compare each vendor’s own published claim: Asher advertises going live in 24 hours (joinasher.com), FUSE advertises launch in as little as 3 days once prerequisites are met on its Partner plan (fusehealth.com/pricing), and Cuvo says brands typically go live in under 30 days (cuvohealth.com)—all last verified 2026-10-26; re-check before you cite them in sales. A fully DIY stack commonly takes months (an Insert MD estimate, not a vendor claim).

Support you should expect from any vendor

Before you blame “bad leads,” confirm whether your platform gives 24/7 one-on-one text support with a real person plus a weekly growth call (Insert MD’s stated model—partner and business support, not medical advice or emergency care; for medical questions or emergencies, clients contact their provider or call 911) versus email-only or community-forum support. Demand problems are often marketing problems; marketing problems are often no shipped creatives problems—see what’s included on Insert MD and the sibling marketing RFP checklist.

Documentation discipline

Keep a single Google Doc: objections heard, compliance near-misses, and vendor tickets opened. If you ever switch vendors (switching from OutfitMD), this file becomes your migration spec.

AI-search note (deliverables, not rankings)

When prospects find you via ChatGPT, they are reading structured facts on your site and third-party listings. Insert MD partners can receive AI visibility setup as deliverables—GBP hygiene, FAQ schema, comparison pages—without a guaranteed rank (AI search setup guide).

Final checklist before you scale spend

Re-read compliance after any copy change. Confirm your team completed the compliant enrollment module. Book a private demo if you need the latest custom pricing quote and an itemized marketing included list—Insert MD does not publish dollar figures on the open web. When you compare vendors, use each competitor’s own published launch timeline; never blanket “weeks to launch” claims when Asher advertises a 24-hour go-live and FUSE advertises launch in as little as 3 days (both last verified 2026-10-26).

FAQ

Not for an education-and-booking role—front desk staff educate and book; providers are remote. Med spas that perform medical procedures may have separate staffing rules.

Yes: “our branded app for check-ins and refill requests—the provider decides on any refill.”

Empathize; route to care team; no arguing clinical decisions.

No discussing other members’ treatment.

24-hour platform setup from onboarding; scripts on the first call.
