Amazon to Install Prescription Kiosks at One Medical Clinics in Los Angeles Starting December

The in-office machines use app checkout with remote pharmacist verification to speed access to common medications.

Overview

  • Amazon says the kiosks will be its first in-person pickup option for Amazon Pharmacy, dispensing medications within minutes after an office visit.
  • Initial locations include One Medical clinics in Downtown LA, West LA, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, and West Hollywood, with more sites to follow.
  • Patients complete orders in the Amazon app, scan a QR code at the kiosk, and can consult an Amazon pharmacist by video or phone for final checks.
  • Inventory focuses on frequently prescribed, non-refrigerated drugs such as antibiotics, inhalers, and blood pressure treatments, excluding controlled substances.
  • The company plans expansion outside California in 2026 and is in talks with external health systems, positioning the model to reduce unfilled prescriptions and lower shipping costs.
