Amazon Rolls Out Nationwide GLP-1 Care Program Through One Medical

The move signals retailers are reshaping access to obesity drugs.

Overview

  • Amazon One Medical, which launched the program Tuesday, now manages GLP-1 weight-loss treatment within primary care with in-person and virtual visits plus Amazon Pharmacy fulfillment.
  • Upfront prices include as low as $25 a month with insurance, $149 for oral drugs, and $299 for injectables for cash pay, covering options such as Wegovy, Zepbound, and the new Foundayo pill.
  • Amazon Pharmacy delivers to all 50 states with same-day service in nearly 3,000 cities today and plans to reach about 4,500 cities by the end of 2026.
  • Existing GLP-1 users can get 24/7 telehealth renewals starting at $29 for messaging or $49 for video visits, with renewals limited to patients who already have prescriptions.
  • The announcement pushed rivals lower, with Hims & Hers shares falling Tuesday, while industry coverage noted Walmart’s parallel push and a same-day CMS pause of a Medicare Part D payment model for these drugs.
