Amazon is enhancing its popular Prime subscription service by adding a new feature that allows users to purchase One Medical memberships at a reduced price.
On Wednesday, the firm made the announcement that instead of paying $199 annually, or $16.59 per month, Prime members will be able to enrol in One Medical for $9 per month, or $99 per year. According to Amazon, Prime customers can add up to five extra memberships on the same plan for $6 apiece.
After purchasing One Medical in July 2022 for approximately $3.9 billion, Amazon is incorporating the main healthcare provider into its Prime membership plan. One Medical runs a network of specialty primary care practises in various parts of the United States, mostly in and around large cities. Through the One Medical app, users may make appointments virtually or in person at a physical location, as well as get medical care from a doctor.
Over the years, the tech giant has gradually expanded the incentives offered by its Prime membership programme in an effort to entice more users. Among its many benefits, Amazon Prime was introduced in 2005 and offers free two-day shipping in addition to access to exclusive TV series and films. Annual membership dues are $139. The service had more than 200 users as of April 2021 million users across the globe.
