Costco is offering members medical care via a partnership with online health marketplace Sesame.
The deal comes as several retailers expand their healthcare offerings.
According to the Sesame website, Costco members can access Sesame’s “best pricing” on online primary care visits ($29), checkups ($72) and mental health visits ($79).
Sesame’s goal is “to provide great healthcare to the value-conscious,” said CEO David Goldhill, Bloomberg reported Monday (Sept. 25).
Neither Costco nor Sesame has replied to PYMNTS’ request for comment.
Goldhill founded Sesame in 2018 out of frustration with a healthcare system he found weighed down by outdated treatment and payment methods. He launched the company as a direct-to-consumer (D2C) online marketplace in 2020. A new membership program followed in 2021.
