What the FuturHealth Intake Looks Like

We walked through the full FuturHealth funnel at funnel.fh.co. It’s a 45-screen questionnaire that runs through three domains (funnel.fh.co → plus.fh.co → checkout.fh.co), and it is — by a meaningful margin — one of the most clinically thorough shopping-funnel intakes in our catalog. It asks validated PHQ-2 depression items, a dedicated family-history MEN-2 and medullary thyroid cancer screen, pregnancy and breastfeeding status, suicidal thoughts, medication allergies, blood pressure stages, and resting heart rate ranges before it ever asks for the patient’s name. The trade-off is the length and an aggressive urgency-timer checkout.

Two consecutive screens in the clinical stage ask the first two items of the PHQ-9 (the PHQ-2) using the standard wording: “Over the past 2 weeks, how often have you had little interest or pleasure in doing things?” and “Over the past 2 weeks, how often have you felt down, depressed, or hopeless?” Both use the validated four-point Likert (“Not at all,” “Several days,” “More than half the days,” “Nearly every day”). The earlier disqualifying-conditions screen also includes “Suicidal thoughts” as a checkbox. Mental-health screening of this specificity is uncommon in public GLP-1 shopping funnels — most either skip mental health entirely or fold it into a vague “do you have any mental health conditions” free-text field.

FuturHealth surfaces the FDA black-box contraindication as its own full screen — not buried inside a disqualifying-conditions checklist — with the exact question “Do you or your family have a history of either MEN2 or Medullary Thyroid cancer?” That is a meaningful UX decision. A dedicated screen is harder for a patient to race past than an item deep inside a long multi-select, and it puts the black-box warning front-and-center in a way that matches how the actual prescribing information treats it.

FuturHealth does not hard-gate the clinical questionnaire behind an email or account. The funnel runs through all 37 clinical and lifestyle questions before the “Your Medical Review” card on plus.fh.co asks for a first name and email address at screen 39. A patient who answers the safety screens honestly and discovers they are ineligible — because of pregnancy, MEN-2 family history, end-stage kidney disease, or a disqualifying condition — can back out without leaving a marketing-usable profile behind. That is the opposite of the shopping-funnel norm in this catalog and a meaningful privacy improvement.

Three separate screens in the approval-and-checkout stage display live countdown timers. The first says “Your approval expires in 14:44.” The second says “Exclusive price expires in 14:58.” The third says “Ju, this price is reserved for you right now — Exclusive price expires in 14:21.” These are manufactured-scarcity patterns, not actual prescribing deadlines, and the pricing ($149 for the Wegovy Pill + $49 FH Membership, discounted from $149, totalling $198) is framed through a “$100 OFF DISCOUNT — ACTIVE” banner and a “Lowest Price Ever!” badge. Anyone at this stage of the flow should be aware that the time pressure is a sales tactic and that walking away and coming back later will not cause the approval to disappear.

The medication preference screen lists four name-brand options — Wegovy, Wegovy Pill, Zepbound, and Ozempic — with a footnote beneath the list stating that “The FuturHealth program includes access to both branded medications and customized, compounded medications based on what your clinician determines is medically appropriate and necessary for you. Compounded drug products are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not evaluate compounded products for safety, effectiveness, or quality.” The default checkout bundle that ultimately appears is the branded Wegovy Pill at $149, not a compounded alternative. Patients who specifically want compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide to save money will need to discuss that with the clinician during the follow-up, because the funnel itself does not surface a compounded price path.

There is no substance-use or alcohol-use screen. There is no structured diet history and no exercise history — only the “difficulties” multi-select at the very start. There is no government-ID upload, no phone-number OTP verification, no labs upload, and no weight documentation. The clinical stack is otherwise notably complete, but these four omissions are worth knowing about for patients who are weighing FuturHealth against a more traditional telemedicine model that does bill-and-verify on labs and ID.
