Amazon is soon coming out with telehealth services called Amazon Care. Thanks to the Pandemic that has trapped everyone in its garb. Amazon Care seems to have employees from all the states of the US, which is starting this summer and the company has plans for expansion. As per the company, it is a customer service that has been in the service till date. Now, as you check the enterprise, you would understand their requirements in a big way, Kristen Helton the director of Amazon Care feels privileged to be a part of this venture which is now serving the country under their brand.
Amazon Care happens to be the pilot program that was launched two years before as it offers some of the best and urgent medical care virtually to their employees working in states like Washington DC. It has several free telehealth consultants who are ready to help the employees with their in-house visits carrying the nurses along with the testing and vaccination stuff. The program has now expanded to its primary care service. As per the company, they have developed the infrastructure that helps in treating chronic conditions that comes under the same provider helping to enjoy the care team. This also helps the group of clinicians really happy to stay in touch with the learning clinical side.
The company aspires to offer the clinicians the required tools offering you the best of the care claims the director. Amazon is soon going to come out with their virtual care program for its employees with the help of networking with different companies based in Washington State along with the other places as well in their metro areas. This move seems to come ahead with Amazon by winding up their earlier project called Have. It was a joint program with groups like JP Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway. The company Haven had been seen touted three earlier before as an incubator that helps in improving upon the employer health programs.
Earlier, Amazon was also seen developing and launching their own Pharmacy after getting PillPack in 2018. The previous year, we see the company even networking with their employer health provider Crossover Health in order to launch the personal employee health care clinics. This will now help the company workers all over the 17 locations based in California, Texas, Kentucky, Arizona and Michigan to name a few. The pharmacy seems to have come up with the employee clinics along with Amazon Care for running autonomous healthcare ventures with Amazon.
Amazon is now planning to encash the employer market all thanks to the big growth of telehealth that was witnessed during the Covid pandemic. This has further helped in soaring a series of deals that has come under the sector all across the previous six months. Earlier in October, Teladoc was seen coming up with an $18 billion agreement in order to acquire the diabetes management firm called Livongo. Last month, we also saw Cigna’s Evernorth division was announced and it will help in getting the virtual care platform called MDLive for an undisclosed amount.
