Traditional retailers are expanding their offerings to provide consumers with low-cost, convenient health care alternatives
In collaboration with health startup Sesame, retail behemoth Costco will now offer its members access to outpatient medical services, including virtual primary care visits, for only $29, CNN reported.
In a press release, Sesame said Costco members will now have access to low-cost health care providers within their direct-to-consumer marketplace in all 50 states. The company does not accept health insurance “because it primarily caters to uninsured Americans and those with high-deductible plans who prefer to pay cash for their health care,” CNN summarized. The company added that its model keeps prices reasonably low for its users.
