Here's how it works.
Clinical care, anywhere.Available 24/7 on Amazon.com or the Amazon mobile app, customers can view one low treatment price for five common health conditions and beauty treatments, and have a consultation with a clinician virtually and discreetly via messaging or video. If medication is needed to treat the health condition, Prime members can enjoy more savings for a prescription filled and rapidly delivered by Amazon Pharmacy.
Prime members who select Amazon Pharmacy will pay a low, upfront price for their medication and enjoy fast, free delivery to their door. No more waiting weeks for an appointment or standing in long pharmacy lines. Plus, no more surprise medical bills or high medication costs.
Low, upfront pricing for consultation and medication.Customers can see both the price of their telehealth consultation and medication from Amazon Pharmacy for their desired treatment-before moving forward with care. Prime members can get anti-aging skin care treatment from $10/month; regrow thicker, fuller hair (for men) from $16/month; get fast, discreet ED treatment from $19/month; get fuller, longer eyelashes from $43/month; and prevent motion sickness from $2/use-using Prime Rx at checkout. For comparison, Prime members save up to 92% on ED treatment versus popular subscription service alternatives. This simple, upfront pricing helps customers shop for their health care and make informed, confident decisions. Customers only pay for the cost of the consultation and medication (if prescribed); there are no additional fees, expenses, or subscriptions needed beyond Amazon Prime.

At Amazon, we're working to reduce the burden on patients who'd like to move forward with care, but may be tired of navigating the hurdles of our health care system, waiting in a long line at the pharmacy, or worried about a surprise bill or medication cost," said Dr. Vin Gupta, chief medical officer for Amazon Pharmacy. "We're helping patients re-engage in care, and spend time doing what they love instead."
