How You Got Here

Carrying the Cost of Specialty Dermatology

Health plans, payers, and members are suffering.

For most, dermatology feels disjointed: long waits, short appointments, automatic refills, and no help between visits. Payers pay the price of the systemic failure of episodic care paradigms.

Medical dermatology has a major access problem.

The rapid rise of cosmetic dermatology has reduced access to quality medical dermatology care. With Zest, appointments are no longer limited , care isn’t episodic, and intensive drugs get off endless cycles.

Episodic care wasn’t built for chronic disease.

High-touch access increases disease control and trigger management—and expensive prescriptions stop being the fallback. Zest delivers exactly that: expert dermatology care built to give patients sustainable relief.

How Zest Works

Impact Across Member Journeys and Drug Classes

Rejecting ‘set it and forget it’ care

The biologic trend is one you can escape. Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (eczema) are not static. They evolve. So should treatment.

Focus on remission, not just flare control.

Yesterday’s flare does not dictate today’s treatment plan. Zest’s high-touch, value-based care is the only solution to ensuring the right drug is always used at the right time. So if disease improves, the treatment plan is also optimized.

Care that works better, and costs less

Expensive medications are not always the best approach once remission is reached. Through patient monitoring and reassessment, clinicians can identify members who are on the wrong treatment plan, and put dollars back into everyone’s pocket.

Flare Support

I feel listened to and understood by my team at Zest. They looked at the whole picture, and in less than six months I’d stepped down my injection. I don’t have tubes of ointment lying around. And I know exactly who to text if I happen to flare.

Meaningful Visits

I felt like I gained a ton of information during my call. I learned a lot, was heard, and was given multiple options and advice for each one.

Biologic Dose Reduction

Through Zest, I learned that I don’t have to be on a biologic to have clear skin. After 10 years, with the help of my clinical team, I’m able to go without.
