Amazon is adding a prescription drug discount program to its growing health care business.
“I just don’t know that it’s expanding access to a new set of patients,” Van Nuys said.
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. And Haven, a company Amazon created in collaboration with JPMorgan and Berkshire Hathaway to improve health costs, dissolved a year earlier than that.
Amazon has said its online drug store Amazon Pharmacy is a key part of its health care plan, along with primary care organization One Medical, which the online giant is seeking to acquire for $3.9 billion. The Federal Trade Commission is investigating the proposed buyout. In November, the company also said it would begin offering “Amazon Clinic," a messaging service that connects patients with doctors for about two dozen common conditions, such as allergies and hair loss.
Amazon and Grubhub announced a partnership, allowing Amazon Prime members to have a free, one-year trial to Grubhub+.
