Amazon has added a pediatric arm to its One Medical telehealth offering. Now parents can connect via message or video visits with licensed clinicians for common children’s conditions no insurance or membership required.
Glimpse:
Amazon’s One Medical has rolled out a new Pay-Per-Visit telehealth service for children aged 2 to 11, enabling virtual consultations for conditions like pink eye, eczema, lice, rashes, and asthma prescription renewals. Message-based visits begin at $29, while video visits cost $49. The service is open to all no insurance, no Prime or One Medical membership is required. When a prescription is needed, parents can fulfill it via Amazon Pharmacy or their preferred pharmacy. The offering is intended to fill “in-between” gaps when symptoms arise outside scheduled pediatric appointments, offering convenience, faster access, and cost transparency.
Here’s a move that could make parents breathe a little easier: Amazon is bringing pediatric telehealth care directly to the couch. Amazon One Medical has introduced a Pay-Per-Visit telehealth option for children aged 2 to 11, allowing families to get timely care from certified clinicians without worrying about memberships or insurance.
Imagine your child develops a red eye late evening, or you notice a sudden rash instead of scouring urgent care clinics, you might now open your phone, choose a message or video visit, and get a clinician’s guidance (or prescription) in minutes. That’s the promise of this launch.
The coverage is targeted it includes pink eye, lice, many common skin conditions (eczema, fungal rashes, contact dermatitis, bug bites, etc.), and also allows for EpiPen and asthma medication renewals. The pricing is upfront: $29 for message visits, $49 for video.
Importantly, Amazon is not gating this behind exclusivity. You don’t need an insurance plan, Prime subscription, or One Medical membership to use it. If a prescription is required, parents can choose Amazon Pharmacy or any pharmacy they prefer.
Amazon’s pitch is clear: for those in between moments when a child needs attention but the pediatrician isn’t immediately available, this service can be a faster, cheaper, and more comforting alternative to in-person urgent care clinics. Bergen Elsa, GM of Amazon One Medical Pay-Per-Visit, noted that many parents spend hours in urgent care for brief visits. This is their attempt to bring expert care to your home, day or night.
Of course, this won’t replace in-person visits for serious or complex conditions. But for everyday kids’ illnesses, it’s a strong step toward closing access gaps, especially for families who might not have easy access to pediatric care.
“As a parent, I am all too familiar with taking a child to urgent care, waiting long hours, and getting a quick visit. This service allows families to reach trusted clinicians day or night saving time, money, and worry.”
