Develop Health growth playbook

Diagnosis

Develop Health says it has helped over 2.5 million patients and is scaling after a major funding round. Its new growth team is built around one number: how many provider offices respond the first time Develop Health reaches them on a pharmacy's behalf.

The pieces are in place (ClearPA, an explainer, a calling team in Salt Lake City), but the office's first check is harder than it should be: two different phone numbers, a homepage that sells demos, and proof without names or roles.

This playbook gives offices one front door first, then tests fax covers, call timing and a single multi-channel sequence, turns first responders into known offices and pharmacy-led agreements, and opens bigger bets in ClearPA-to-practice sales and an access data report.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Every office that responds once can become a known, faster responder, and the busiest ones can become practice customers, so the activation funnel compounds.

Biggest Risk

CoverMyMeds and EHR-native tools are free and already familiar to offices; if Develop Health's requests look unfamiliar or hard to verify, offices fall back on what they know and patients wait longer.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Develop Health's growth hiring is built around one number: how many offices respond the first time, when "Many of those offices have never heard of us." A careful front desk checks an unknown fax against the sender's own website. Today that check is confusing: clearpa.com tells offices to call (650) 300-5141, but that number appears on no develophealth.ai page except one blog post; the ClearPA page offers only email or a scheduled call; and the homepage an office lands on is titled "Insurance AI for Prescribers" and leads with "Book a demo", with the passkey link small in the header.

    Smallest test

    Ship the /clearpa number and verification box and compare inbound verification calls for two weeks.

    Why it works

    Put one "Got a ClearPA request from your patient's pharmacy?" band at the top of the homepage and /provider, linking to clearpa.com and the explainer. Show the same ClearPA phone number, email and hours on /clearpa, /contact-us, the footer and the fax itself, so every place an office checks gives the same answer. Add a "How to check this request is real" box to /clearpa from the existing blog post. Tag each surface so the response-rate dashboard shows which one an office used before responding.

    Offices act faster on requests they can verify in seconds, and every point of first-time response is a patient starting sooner and a pharmacy partner getting more from the contract. It is a one-week change on pages Develop Health already owns.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Smallest test

    Test one variant against the current cover on a tenth of new offices.

    Why it works

    Create two or three fax cover variants: a plain-language headline naming the patient's pharmacy, a QR code that opens clearpa.com with the passkey filled in (the prescriber's last name still required), and a single "what we need: chart notes" line. Randomize by office, and read response rate and time to response by specialty and office size.

    Small changes to the first page of a fax are cheap to test at volume, and a QR code turns a phone in the front desk's hand into the fastest way in.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • QR codes look suspicious

      Print the plain clearpa.com address beside it.

    Smallest test

    Run the new voicemail for one week on half the queue.

    Why it works

    Sort the queue so each office is called in its own best hour (opening and just after lunch), and script a 15-second voicemail with the pharmacy name, the passkey and the ClearPA number, followed by a fax or email with the same details within minutes.

    Calls at the right local hour reach the person who handles prior authorizations, and a voicemail that contains everything needed lets the office act without calling back.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Leaving patient details in voicemail

      Never include patient identifiers; the passkey and pharmacy only.

    Evidence

    • HiringSales Development Manager and Sales Development Representative (both posted October 22, 2026, Salt Lake City hub, 7am-4pm shift "to catch East Coast" offices): the team calls offices for the pharmacies Develop Health works with; targets are a first dial "within a business day", callbacks "returned the same day", and reasons calls fail "(wrong number, voicemail, wrong desk)".

    Why it works

    With permission, add role and organization type to each quote (for example "Prior authorization lead, primary care practice"), filter by audience, and place three provider-office quotes on /clearpa and /provider.

    Peer proof works when the reader recognizes the peer, and it costs only a round of permission emails.

    Rewrite the page for specialty pharmacies: what the free month includes, how it starts, the submission, approval and time-to-fill results, and a short form. Give it its own description, and link it from NASP channels.

    Specific offers convert better than generic pages, and duplicates also compete with /pharmacies in search.

    Remove the tags with no owner first.

    Why it works

    List every tag with its owner and purpose, remove those no campaign uses, load the rest after the page is interactive, and keep advertising tags off provider-facing pages such as /clearpa where offices come only to respond.

    Fewer tags make pages lighter and easier to govern, and the provider front door should be as simple as possible.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Breaking attribution

      Check each campaign's reporting before removing its tag.

    Evidence

    • Google PageSpeedHomepage on mobile: performance 49/100 (desktop 65), 4.9 s total blocking time in the lab, 19,042 DOM elements, 3.0 MB page weight and 28 third-party services (tag manager, analytics and many advertising tags). Real Chrome users pass Core Web Vitals (LCP 1.6 s), so this is about weight and ownership rather than a failing site.Source

    Run one sequence on a single specialty for a month.

    Why it works

    Define a default sequence per office type (for example fax and Direct message on day 0, email at 4 hours, call next morning at local opening, text where allowed on day 2), with each touch carrying the same passkey and number. Stop the sequence the moment the office responds in any channel, and test sequence variants against the response number.

    A coordinated cadence reaches more offices with fewer touches and gives the team one place to change timing.

    Ask preferences of the next 100 first-time responders.

    Why it works

    Track the share of first-time responders that create an account, ask each one how it wants future requests (fax, Direct message, email, or a named contact), and route the next request accordingly. Measure response time on second and later requests.

    Known offices with a preferred channel respond faster, so the activation number compounds instead of restarting with every request.

    Offer it to 50 offices that responded quickly.

    Why it works

    After an office completes its first request, offer the agreement in plain language: what it covers, what the office still sees, how to revoke it. Track sign-ups by pharmacy partner and the change in time to submission.

    It moves the slowest step out of the office for every later request, and partners see faster fills.

    Why it works

    Apply for marketplace or partner listings for each EHR it integrates with, starting with athenahealth, using the same ClearPA explanation and proof. Link each listing to an EHR-specific page that explains how requests show up in that EHR.

    An office that has seen Develop Health in its own EHR's directory trusts the first fax more, and listings bring practice leads too.

Epic and Cerner instances typically take around six weeks."; "90% time reduction", "<1 day approval time"; call to action "Book a Demo".

    The blog already ranks lists of the "easiest" and "hardest" drugs to get through prior authorization, and the life sciences page sells access intelligence to brands. Develop Health sees approval rates and turnaround across many plans and pharmacies.

    Smallest test

    Publish one chart from last quarter.

    Why it works

    Publish a quarterly report on approval rates and turnaround by drug class and plan type, aggregated and de-identified, with a short public version and a detailed version for life sciences and pharmacy prospects.

    Original data earns press and citations, gives sales a reason to call brands, and builds the company's name with offices before the first fax.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Data sensitivity

      De-identify and suppress small groups.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteFor Life Sciences page: brands work with Develop Health "as a sponsored experience reaching priority prescribers in the EHR before a script is written, or as an API layer inside the hub or specialty pharmacy workflows"; claims "5x Increase" in throughput, "14% More Approvals" and "90% Less Turnaround Time". The blog has posts on the "easiest" and "hardest" drugs to get through prior authorization.Source

    The Series A was raised partly to expand from pharmacy benefits into the medical benefit market. The same problem, offices that have never heard of Develop Health, will appear with new partners.

    Smallest test

    Run the new cover on one pilot partner's requests.

    Why it works

    Before launch, adapt the front door, fax covers, call scripts and sequences for medical-benefit requests, and set a separate response-rate target, so the new line starts with the funnel already tuned.

    The activation work becomes a reusable capability, not a one-off for one product line.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Different office staff handle these

      Find the right desk early with callers.

    Smallest test

    Test on reminders only.

    Why it works

    Add a plain line to requests and reminders: the date the pharmacy started the request and the two steps left before submission. Test it against the current wording on response time.

    A concrete, finite ask with a visible wait is more motivating than a generic request, and it is honest information the office needs.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Feels like pressure

      Keep the tone factual.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteBlog post "What Is ClearPA.com? Who Runs It and How to Respond" (October 8, 2026): explains that requests come from "your patient's pharmacy", arrive by fax, email, phone or Direct secure message with an 8-character passkey, that responding is free with no account, how to confirm a request, and that "If nobody responds, reminders follow by fax and email, and Develop Health's team sometimes calls." It cites the AMA's 2025 survey: 40 prior authorizations a week per physician, about 13 hours of staff time.Source

    Why it works

    Register the calling numbers with branded caller ID showing "Develop Health - Rx PA", keep the numbers consistent with the ClearPA line, and compare answer rates before and after.

    Recognized calls get answered, and consistency with the fax and website builds trust.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Why it works

    Showing the two steps removes the fear of an unfamiliar system and shortens first responses.

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value hours of prior authorization work saved each week. The most cited problem: hours on hold and in portals.

  • Faster turnaround and higher approval rates
  • Faxing forms back and forth
  • In their words: “prior auth”

Market

Competitive landscape

4 competitors compared: CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, EHR-native PA tools and Hub services.

  • Gap to exploit: A verifiable, friendly first contact for unfamiliar offices
  • CoverMyMeds: Staff still complete each request
  • Surescripts: A transmission rail, not automation

Hiring signals

Develop Health is building a provider activation team around one number: first-time office response and the first prior authorization that follows.

  • Head of Provider Growth: Owns first-time office response; evaluates HCP networks, contact data and branded caller ID. Ideas 1, 7, 9, 17, 19.
  • Growth Marketing Lead: Owns response rate on faxes, emails and messages; EHR listings and landing pages. Ideas 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 14.
