Amazon One Medical Launches Pay-Per-Visit Virtual Care for Kids Ages 2–11

The low-cost, 24/7 service targets uninsured families seeking quick guidance without replacing a pediatrician.

Overview

  • Message-based visits start at $29 and video consultations cost $49, with no insurance, Prime, or One Medical membership required.
  • Clinicians treat select conditions such as pink eye, head lice, eczema, contact dermatitis, fungal rashes, bug bites, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, fifth disease, roseola, poison ivy, and diaper rash.
  • Parents can request renewals for EpiPen and asthma medications as part of the visit scope.
  • A parent or guardian and the child must be present, with care delivered by board-certified family physicians or licensed family nurse practitioners who provide treatment plans and prescriptions.
  • Prescriptions can be filled through Amazon Pharmacy or a pharmacy of the family’s choice, as the company expands access while other retailers scale back primary care offerings.
