Amazon cuts price of One Medical membership to $99 a year as the e-commerce giant targets health care expansion.
Amazon is lowering the cost of a One Medical membership for Amazon Prime subscribers, shaving $100 off the annual fee to $99 a year. The step is the latest effort by the e-commerce company to mesh its chain of doctor's offices with its retail services.Amazon already runs a web pharmacy and a telehealth service called Amazon Clinic that uses third-party medical providers to help treat less serious conditions, like pinkeye.
'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,' Amazon said in announcing the discount in a blog post on Wednesday. 'Virtual care is available nationally, and members don't incur any additional costs for on-demand virtual care services.' Amazon acquired One Medical for about $3.9 billion in a deal completed in February.
