Members will also have access to $79 mental health visits and 10 percent off other medical services on the platform. The Sesame platform allows clinicians to set prices and patients to pay them directly instead of going through insurance. 

The news comes as Costco competitors, such as Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon and CVS Health, expand their healthcare offerings. 

The financial terms of the partnership between Costco and Sesame were not disclosed. The online medical platform is backed by Alphabet’s venture unit.

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.
