The virtual clinic does not currently accept insurance, but patients can still use their insurance to pay for medication prescribed by the clinicians.
Amazon Clinic chief medical officer and general manager Dr Nworah Ayogu said: “At Amazon, we want to make it dramatically easier for people to get and stay healthy, and we’re doing that by helping customers get the care and medications they need in the way that is most convenient for them.
“Amazon Clinic removes barriers by helping customers treat their everyday health concerns wherever they are, at any time of day. And, they can see the cost before they start the visit.”
The latest move continues Amazon’s expansion into the healthcare space. Earlier this year, the online retail firm completed the acquisition of primary-care provider One Medical for $3.9bn.
In 2018, Amazon purchased online pharmacy PillPack in a $750m deal.
