Amazon One Medical Launches Low-Cost Pediatric Telehealth for Ages 2–11

The pay-per-visit option targets families who want quick, out-of-pocket care.

Overview

  • Message-based visits cost $29 and video visits cost $49, with no insurance, Prime, or One Medical membership required.
  • The service treats pink eye, head lice, and more than ten common skin conditions, and it supports EpiPen and asthma medication renewals.
  • A parent or guardian and the child must be present, with care provided by board-certified family physicians or licensed family nurse practitioners and followed by a personalized plan.
  • Prescriptions from visits can be filled through Amazon Pharmacy or any pharmacy of choice, and payments can be made by credit card, FSA, or HSA.
  • Amazon frames the offering as an in-between option rather than a pediatrician replacement, extending its 2024 adult pay-per-visit model as rivals scale back retail clinics and as it pilots prescription vending kiosks at One Medical sites in Los Angeles.
