Costco Members can Now Access Online Healthcare Visits for Just $29

Costco has partnered with Sesame, a direct-to-consumer healthcare marketplace that connects medical providers nationwide with consumers, to offer members online health checkups.

This week, it was announced that Costco members have the ability to schedule online healthcare visits directly through their memberships.

Available services can be found on Costco Pharmacy’s homepage and are available to Costco members in all 50 states. These include video prescription refill, virtual primary care, virtual therapy visit, and much more.

“The New York-based company (Sesame) said its platform doesn’t accept health insurance because it primarily caters to uninsured Americans and those with high-deductible plans who prefer to pay cash for their health care. It said its model helps keep prices of services low for its users,” CNN reported.

Costco appears to be following in the footsteps of Amazon, considering the company launched Amazon Clinic last November. The service provides Amazon customers with 24/7 access to third-party health-care providers through Amazon’s website and app.
