Current dermatology systems aren’t meeting member needs

Medical dermatology has a major access problem

When care is delayed, members pay the price and prescription costs rise. Traditional practices prioritize procedure-based visits creating months-long waits for chronic care management. Zest delivers timely access 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.”

Discover how much you could save with Zest

Many of our partners are surprised to learn just how much they’re spending on biologics for dermatology care – and how much of that spending may not be necessary.

Biologic spending has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 10% from 2014-2024. This is often aggregated in a small identifiable group of high-cost members.
