Costco to offer weight loss program

Six months after Costco announced its entrance into the healthcare industry with $29 virtual primary care visits, the big box retailer is launching a specialized weight loss program exclusively for its members.

Costco is working with Sesame — its same partner for the virtual healthcare service — to offer a weight loss program, the companies said April 2. 

For $179, eligible members will receive three months of clinical consultation, have an initial video consultation and be able to message with their clinician, and receive a nutritional guide and an individualized treatment program. 

“Sesame clinicians will begin by collecting a detailed medical history from each patient, and help patients with appropriate diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications,” a Sesame news release said. “When clinically appropriate, the clinician may pair these interventions with medications, subject to their availability.”

Sesame and Costco also sell $72 health checkups, which include lab work, and $79 virtual mental health therapy.

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.
