What does thimblehub do?

thimblehub sets up and runs checkout and intake (thimblecart), patient and admin portals (thimbleportal), and brand sites (thimblesites) for anyone starting or running a telehealth business. Everything is fully managed and white-glove, and we set up any clinician network and pharmacy you want.

Who is it for?

Anyone starting or running a telehealth business: founders with clinician connections and an idea, clinicians and clinician groups launching their own brand, brands launching or switching platforms, and teams who want their engineers on their own product.

We have engineers. Why not build it ourselves?

Your engineers can stay on your product. We set up and run checkout, intake, portals, and every clinician network and pharmacy connection, fully managed and under a signed BAA. On Scale, the portals include the developer API.

What can we sell?

Any medication or treatment your clinicians prescribe, from weight care and hormone therapy to skin, hair, and longevity, plus products that need no prescription. Sell them one-time or as subscriptions.

Do you supply clinicians?

Yes, through the clinician networks we work with. We match you with one that fits and set it up, or connect the clinicians you already work with. Your agreement is with the network directly.

We only have clinician relationships so far. Is that enough to start?

Yes. We connect the clinicians you work with, set up any pharmacy you want, and run your checkout, intake, portals, and brand site, so you can launch your own brand.

Run a clinician group or network?

Talk to us about launching your own telehealth brand or connecting your network to thimblehub.

Which clinician networks do you work with?

Any network you choose, large or small, and we set it up for you. Networks we work with include MDI, OpenLoop, Beluga, Wizlo, Arora, Telegra, SteadyMD, and Wheel.

Do I need my own pharmacy?

No. Use your network's pharmacy, your own, or any other you pick, and we set it up for you.

Can I buy just one product?

Yes. Choose what we run for you: checkout, portals, a brand site, or all three. Add the others any time.

Pricing

What does it cost?

Setup, a monthly fee, and a fee per order that drops as you grow. Orders past 5,000 in a month cost less, and past 10,000 less again. Each extra order costs us less to run, and we pass that on. You keep the same team at every size. No revenue share.

What counts as an order?

Any paid charge: a first purchase, a subscription renewal, or a refill.

What does Scale add to checkout?

Scale adds your own domain for checkout, up to 5 intake flows, upsells at Pay, cart recovery by email and text, split tests of headlines and trust messages, and up to 3 clinician networks at once. You can start on Scale from day one.

What does Scale add to portals?

Scale adds your own domain for the portals, your own look (logo, colors, and fonts), up to 10 logins, reporting and analytics, up to 3 clinician networks at once, and the developer API. You can start on Scale from day one.

Do you take a revenue share?

No. Our fee per order ignores your price and drops as you grow. A revenue share takes more every time you raise a price. Patient payments land in your own payment processor, such as Stripe. Clinicians, medication, and card processing are billed by those providers, apart from us.

Launch

How long does launch take?

As fast as 3 days after you sign. It takes longer if you still need a pharmacy or clinicians, are waiting on LegitScript certification, want website design revisions, are planning marketing with us, or need custom builds. A recent brand went live the morning after its LegitScript certification and marketing were ready.

Can we move our current patients over?

Yes. We run the move and test it end to end before anyone switches. If your current platform holds your patients' saved cards and won't copy them over, each patient enters their card once on your new checkout.

Do we keep our domain?

Yes. Your site runs on your own domain from day one, and on Scale your checkout and portals do too.

What support do we get?

A named owner on our team, a shared Slack channel, and a promised next update on every request, from setup through launch and after.

Can we change things after launch?

Yes. Your team can edit words and photos and preview before publishing, or send us the change and we make it. On checkout, Scale adds split tests of headlines and trust messages.

How do you protect patient data?

Patient health information is encrypted field by field, staff access to patient data is audit-logged, and patients and admins sign in to the portals with two-factor.

Is the site ready for LegitScript?

Sites are built to LegitScript's requirements, and we support your certification. The certification itself is yours.

Who owns our data if we leave?

You do. Your patient and order records stay yours. Under our standard MSA you can export them any time, and for 90 days after you leave.
