Provido
Telehealth patient acquisition, measured to completed visits.
Telehealth growth dies in two places: ad accounts flagged for health data violations, and funnels that count form fills while patients quietly fail to book.
Provido runs multi-state patient acquisition for virtual care companies: compliant campaigns, an instant reply that answers insurance and availability, booking into your scheduling flow, and reactivation of every patient who stalls.
Built for virtual care's specific problems
Multi-state rules, platform health restrictions, and same-day patient expectations. Each is handled.
State-by-state campaigns
Ads and budgets segmented by licensed states, so growth follows your coverage map and new state launches get their own funnels.
HIPAA-aware tracking
Server-side conversion tracking configured to pass what platforms allow and nothing that identifies a patient or condition. Optimization runs on real bookings without exposing PHI.
60-second reply on insurance and availability
The two questions every patient asks first, answered by text within a minute, with a booking link. Evening and weekend inquiries stop dying in the queue.
Reactivation without new spend
Unbooked inquiries, no-shows, and lapsed patients are re-engaged automatically. For subscription and program models, this is often the cheapest growth channel available.
Telehealth patients expect telehealth speed.
Someone requesting virtual care at 10 PM expects an answer at 10 PM. Practices that respond the next business day lose the booking to whichever tab answered first. The 60-second reply is the single highest-leverage fix in virtual care funnels.
The second fix is measuring to completed visits. Cost per lead rewards junk. Cost per completed visit rewards the campaigns, creative, and states that actually produce patients.
Telehealth patient acquisition, stage by stage
| Stage | What usually breaks | What fixes it |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign | Condition-implying copy gets ads rejected; uncertified categories get accounts restricted | Situation and outcome creative, certification before launch, per-state budgets |
| Landing page | Eligibility, price, and state coverage hidden below the fold | The three answers above the fold: can I use this, what does it cost, how soon |
| First reply | Next-business-day email to a patient who inquired at 10 PM | An AI agent that replies in 60 seconds and starts intake |
| Intake to first visit | Drop-off between form and scheduled visit | Booking inside the reply, reminder ladder, one-tap reschedule |
| Month two | Subscription cancels before the second refill or visit | Retention sequences from the first refill onward |
How telehealth companies should measure acquisition
Cost per completed first visit, visit-to-month-two retention, and cost per retained patient, by state and by treatment line, weekly. Cost per lead belongs in a diagnostic row. A telehealth funnel with cheap leads and poor month-two retention is losing money on every patient it acquires; the digital health patient acquisition page goes deeper on subscription and DTC models.
Multi-state rules in practice
Campaigns follow the licensure and pharmacy coverage map, not the other way around. Each new state launch gets its own campaign, landing page variant, and reporting line, so a strong state never subsidizes a weak one invisibly and a patient in an unserved state never gets bought.
