Amazon says RxPass is a subscription service for customers who have Prime memberships. Consumers will pay $5 a month to fill as many prescriptions as they need from a list of 50 generic medications.
FILE-The Amazon logo is displayed outside the Amazon UK Services Ltd Warehouse on December 07, 2022 in Warrington, England . The retail giant said Tuesday that it will launch RxPass, a subscription service for customers who have Prime memberships.
Sildenafil also made the list. It’s used to treat erectile dysfunction under the brand name Viagra and also treats a form of high blood pressure. Any program that gets low-cost generic drugs to more patients "is a good thing," said Karen Van Nuys, an economist who studies drug pricing at the University of Southern California. But she added that she wasn’t sure how much of an impact RxPass will have.
Still, the move could help the company take up some more space in the health care market, even though it has not always been successful in its aim. Last year, the company shuttered its hybrid virtual, in-home care service called Amazon Care after it failed to get traction from employers.
