Amazon One Medical has introduced a pay-per-visit telehealth service for children ages 2 to 11, offering parents and guardians virtual consultations for common pediatric conditions without requiring insurance or a membership.
Here are four things to know about the new offering:
- The service covers treatment for several conditions, including pink eye, head lice, eczema, contact dermatitis, fungal rashes, bug bites, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, fifth disease, roseola, poison ivy and diaper rash. It also allows for EpiPen and asthma medication renewals.
- Message-based visits start at $29, while video consultations cost $49, according to an Oct. 16 news release.
- A parent or guardian and the child must be present during the consultation, which connects families with board-certified family medicine physicians or licensed family nurse practitioners. Each visit includes a personalized treatment plan and, when necessary, prescriptions that can be filled through Amazon Pharmacy or another pharmacy of the customer’s choice.
- The service is geared toward families without insurance or those who prefer not to use insurance for occasional care needs. Visits can be paid for using a credit card, Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, according to the release.
