NimbusRX: What You Should Know
NimbusRX is a broad telehealth infrastructure platform that covers many of the same operational layers as Karpa Health: intake, prescribing, pharmacy, billing, and analytics, with branded native apps and the option to connect your own pharmacy and provider partners. However, it is a horizontal tool built for any telehealth vertical rather than a purpose-built platform for cash-pay peptide, GLP-1, and wellness programs, and it publishes no pricing. Karpa Health's differentiation is vertical depth -- dedicated peptide and GLP-1 formulary, compounding pharmacy relationships tuned for that market, and monthly plans with a published starting price, designed for med spas, clinicians, and wellness entrepreneurs in the cash-pay space.

Does Karpa Health support solo providers, practices, and entrepreneurs launching or scaling branded telehealth programs with a national provider and pharmacy network?
Karpa Health is purpose-built for entrepreneurs and clinicians launching cash-pay GLP-1, peptide, TRT, and HRT programs. You don't need a medical license to launch. If your primary need is solo providers, practices, and entrepreneurs launching or scaling branded telehealth programs with a national provider and pharmacy network, NimbusRX may fit. If you want to own the patient, set your own prices with pass-through pharmacy costs, and launch under your own brand, Karpa is the stronger choice.
What pharmacies does Karpa integrate with?
Karpa Health has direct integration with our compounding pharmacy partners for one-click prescribing. Prescriptions route to those partners automatically, so there is no pharmacy for you to bring or contract.
Do I need a medical license to use Karpa?
No. Independent licensed providers in Karpa's 50-state network prescribe, so non-medical entrepreneurs can launch without a license. You own the patient relationship, control the brand, and act as merchant of record.
How long does it take to launch a program with Karpa?
About 7 days if you already have your own website and LegitScript certification. If Karpa builds your website, plan on about 30 days: about 2 weeks for the site, then LegitScript approval, typically 14–21 days with Karpa (5 days at fastest). Karpa provides pre-built intake forms, clinical protocols, pharmacy connections, and patient communication templates.
