February 23, 2023 12:31 PM<\/span> Amazon didn’t hestitate to fire up its marketing machine to promote the $3.9 billion acquisition of primary care provider One Medical.<\/p>\n Minutes after announcing it had closed the deal<\/a> to purchase New York- and San Francisco-based One Medical on Wednesday, the online retailer posted a letter from CEO Andy Jassy atop its home page and incorporated the primary care provider into the website’s navigation bar alongside Amazon Clinic, its direct-to-consumer telehealth storefront.<\/p>\n Jassy wrote that One Medical will cost $144 for the first year and $199 for subsequent years, and highlighted its virtual and in-person options and Amazon\u2019s pharmacy services.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re just at the beginning of what\u2019s possible. Customers tell us there is a need to radically improve the healthcare experience, and we think we can help,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n The One Medical page includes information about services, locations, insurance coverage and Amazon Pharmacy.<\/p>\n In the last three months, Amazon launched Amazon Clinic<\/a> and RxPrime, a $5 generic medication subscription service<\/a>. Amazon announced the One Medical deal<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n The Federal Trade Commission declined to block the acquisition but continues to analyze its effects on the marketplace. The agency has demonstrated a recent interest<\/a> in how digital health companies collect, share and market patient health information.<\/p>\n <\/body> <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
