Amazon will offer cheaper health care to Prime members via One Medical, a long-expected integration that could significantly expand its health care footprint.
Starting Wednesday, Amazon Prime members will be able to purchase annual One Medical memberships for $99, roughly half their previous cost. for $3.9 billion, cheaper for its Amazon Prime subscribers, a move that further merges the e-commerce behemoth’s health-care offerings with its core business.Previously, One Medical memberships — initially available largely via employer benefits — cost $199 annually.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Post, and the newspaper’s interim CEO, Patty Stonesifer, sits on Amazon’s board. “The new Prime One Medical membership benefit covers unlimited access to 24/7 on-demand virtual care, including video chats with licensed providers within minutes,” the company said in the blog post. “Virtual care is available nationally, and members don’t incur any additional costs for on-demand virtual care services — it’s all covered by the membership.”Amazon operates another telehealth offering, called Amazon Clinic.
