Categories to Deprioritize or Exclude

  • Acupuncturists: typically lack prescribing authority, better as referral sources than clients
  • Ophthalmology and optometry: very narrow application, not worth dedicated effort at this stage
  • Massage therapists and bodyworkers: outside clinician scope
For the team

Strategic Notes

Three observations worth considering as the team builds out the outreach plan.

Cross-category overlap is the norm.
A concierge MD might serve aesthetic, hormone, and longevity patients simultaneously. Packaging should reflect this rather than forcing single-vertical thinking.
The cash-pay filter matters more than the specialty.
Across all categories, the best OPAL customers are practices where patients pay out of pocket, because insurance-driven practices have less flexibility to adopt RUO peptides.
Geographic and regulatory variation is significant.
Naturopath prescribing rights, RUO compliance, and state pharmacy board attitudes vary widely. The sales process should include a regulatory pre-qualification step.
