The virtual service provides care for 30 common health conditions, such as urinary tract infection, pink eye and erectile dysfunction. Amazon announced the service in November 2022.

In 2019, Amazon piloted the program for employees. Amazon Clinic was announced after the company shuttered Amazon Care, a virtual health program for corporate customers. 

The service’s messaging-based consultation costs $35 and a video visit costs $75, according to an Aug. 1 Amazon news release. Amazon Clinic doesn’t accept insurance, instead, users pay a flat fee. Message-based consultation is available in 34 states. 

The news comes after Amazon launched HealthScribe, an artificial intelligence-powered tool designed to generate clinical documentation.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
