Last November, the tech giant Amazon released its much-anticipated healthcare service, One Medical for Prime. Amazon Prime members can now have unlimited access to unscheduled telehealth services (24/7). They can also schedule both virtual visits and in-person visits at any of its 200 brick-and-mortar clinic locations on a next-day basis. Telehealth services are included in the membership price, but scheduled visits (both in-person and telehealth encounters) are billed to the patients or their insurance. Amazon acquired One Medical for about $4 billion in February 2023, and rolled it out as an added convenience for its 200 million Prime members for an additional $9 per month (or $99 for the year if paid annually). A One Medical membership for non-Prime patients costs about $200 per year. The company already has referral agreements with hospitals and specialty services in 20 of its local markets, with plans to grow that network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
