Today, dermatology means long wait times and rushed care

Medical dermatology has a major access problem

When clinics prioritize procedures, psoriasis and eczema patients are left waiting months for care. Imagine waking up with an itchy, painful, visible flare, yet receiving care months later. By then, disease has worsened and costly prescriptions become the default—compensating for an access failure with expensive drugs. Zest changes that, delivering expert care within hours, not months.

Episodic care wasn’t built for chronic disease

Short, one-off visits can’t manage lifelong conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Without continuous guidance, treatment intensity only goes one way — up. Zest’s chronic care model provides proactive monitoring and right-sized care for treatment that adjusts up – and down– as members improve, helping them stay clear with less medication over time.

A frustrating member experience

For most members, dermatology feels disjointed: long waits, short appointments, unclear guidance, and no help between visits. Zest replaces that with a clear, connected experience — timely access, real-time communication, and continuous support that keeps members in control of their skin and their treatment.

The Result

“Specialty dermatology has been one of the fastest-growing categories, with a 46% net trend increase.”
