CNBC reports Amazon is planning to pilot primary care clinics for its employees in Seattle.

Online retail giant Amazon’s foray into tackling healthcare costs might just start with really convenient primary care.

Specifically, primary care clinics for its employees located right at its Seattle headquarters, CNBC reported Thursday afternoon.

According to the report, the technology company is in discussions to open clinics, hiring a small number of doctors for a limited group of employees by the end of this year. They have plans to expand in early 2019, the network reported.

In an email to FierceHealthcare, Amazon declined to comment.
