Summary
Costco has partnered with the healthcare marketplace Sesame to offer its members a comprehensive weight loss program that includes an initial live video consultation and three months of clinical support. The program, which is available across all 50 U.S. states for an initial subscription of $179, also provides access to discounted outpatient medical care services through Sesame. This collaboration offers participants personalized health plans, the possibility of prescriptions for weight loss medications like the GLP-1 class drugs when clinically appropriate, and the convenience of having prescriptions filled at Costco pharmacies. This initiative is part of Costco's broader strategy to expand its healthcare services, aligning with the growing demand for weight loss medications and the increasing importance of virtual healthcare solutions.
