Frequently Asked Questions

Karpa Health is a turn-key platform that enables medical practices to launch and manage cash-pay peptide therapy, GLP-1 weight loss, TRT, and HRT programs. The platform handles patient intake, AI-powered clinical review, one-click prescribing, compounding pharmacy integration, and fulfillment.

Karpa embeds directly on your practice's website. Patients complete intake forms under your brand. Our AI reviews each case, flags contraindications, and prepares a clinical summary. You review, approve with one click, and the prescription is sent directly to an integrated compounding pharmacy for fulfillment. Karpa also includes built-in telehealth video conferencing and calendar scheduling so you can manage consultations and follow-ups all in one platform.

Karpa supports compounded peptide therapies (BPC-157, CJC/Ipamorelin, and more), GLP-1 weight loss medications (compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide), testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and hormone replacement therapy (BHRT, estrogen, progesterone).

Yes. All patient-facing touchpoints (intake forms, communications, and the patient portal) run under your practice's brand. Patients never see Karpa branding.

Most practices go live in under two weeks. Our onboarding team handles the technical setup, pharmacy integrations, and intake form configuration so you can start seeing patients quickly.

Yes. Karpa is fully HIPAA compliant. All patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we follow healthcare data security best practices across every layer of the platform.

Absolutely. Karpa is a physician-led platform. The AI assists with clinical triage and preparation, but every prescribing decision is made by the licensed provider. You approve, reject, or request more information on every patient.

The AI screens each patient's intake for contraindications, verifies eligibility, and prepares a clinical summary with relevant medical history highlighted. It saves providers hours of manual chart review while ensuring nothing is missed.

Karpa integrates with Empower Pharmacy, Strive Pharmacy, BoomRx, Olympia Pharmacy, Belmar Pharma Solutions, and PatientNow. We are continuously adding new pharmacy and EHR partners.

If your preferred pharmacy is not yet integrated, Karpa supports manual prescription workflows while we work to add new partners. Contact us to request a specific pharmacy integration. We prioritize additions based on provider demand.

Yes. Karpa includes its own built-in EHR and also integrates with systems like PatientNow for practices that already have an EHR in place. Patient data stays in sync between both systems.

Yes. Karpa has built-in telehealth video conferencing so you can conduct patient consultations, follow-ups, and check-ins directly through the platform. No need for a separate video tool.

Yes. Karpa includes integrated calendar scheduling so patients can book appointments, consultations, and follow-ups online. Everything syncs with your workflow inside the platform.

In February 2026, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announced that approximately 14 peptides, including BPC-157, are expected to move from FDA Category 2 back to Category 1. If finalized, this would make them eligible for compounding with a valid prescription. The formal FDA rule change is still pending. Karpa supports practices preparing to launch peptide therapy programs.

The expected reclassification creates an opportunity for practices to offer peptide therapy as a cash-pay program. Practices in functional medicine, anti-aging, med spas, and primary care can add peptides alongside existing GLP-1, TRT, or HRT programs. Karpa's platform handles patient intake, AI clinical review, and pharmacy integration for peptide therapy.

Yes. Karpa is a turn-key platform for launching peptide therapy programs. The platform includes patient intake forms, AI-powered clinical review, one-click prescribing to integrated compounding pharmacies with peptide formularies, and automated patient follow-up.
