Amazon launched Amazon Clinic this week, offering virtual care appointments for specific medical conditions.
Amazon on Tuesday launched a new virtual care service called Amazon Clinic, which offers treatment with a few clicks and an out-of-pocket cost on par with a standard co-pay, for common medical conditions.The move solidifies Amazon's intention to be a major player in the consumer-driven health care space, building out services and capabilities around their other offerings like Amazon Pharmacy and their recent purchase of OneMedical.
Customers get to choose which virtual health provider they'd like to use and see how much it will cost before they begin a consultation. The service does not yet accept insurance coverage.Amazon Clinic could be a way for providers to break into the virtual care market without having to create their own "digital front door," Nathan Ray, a partner at West Monroe, told Axios.
Specifics on how Amazon Clinic directly connects to the company's OneMedical clinics are likely still being worked out, Ray said. The new service line does clarify one of the company's goals: "It's clear they want patient data," Ray said.
