Amazon Clinic, Amazon's virtual care offering, isn't providing telehealth services to customers; instead, it works to connect patients with providers such as Curai Health, Hello Alpha, SteadyMD and Wheel, CNBC reported Aug. 1.
Nworah Ayogu, MD, chief medical officer and general manager of Amazon Clinic, told CNBC that Amazon Clinic vets each of the providers it works with as well as their internal operations to determine if "they have stood up as a provider group."
Amazon Clinic also ensures that the providers are staffed across all 50 states so patients are able to get care "in a timely response," according to Dr. Ayogu.
Currently, the telehealth platform does not accept insurance,
Amazon Clinic also did not provide CNBC with numbers on how many users have signed up to use the platform.
Most recently, Amazon Clinic expanded its offerings to all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
