This new relationship, effective as of Aug. 1, gives patients in the region increased access to coordinated health services through Amazon One Medical’s innovative care model and Baptist Health’s world-class health system.

For existing One Medical members, One Medical primary care doctors and access will not change, and they are working to ensure patient care continuity without interruption.
“We are thrilled to partner with Amazon One Medical to bring our award-winning care to even more patients across South Florida,” said Bo Boulenger, president and CEO of Baptist Health. “This partnership aligns with our mission to provide exceptional, patient-centered care through innovative solutions. By combining Baptist Health’s clinical excellence with One Medical’s modern approach to primary care, we’re creating a seamless healthcare experience that meets the evolving needs of our community.”
One Medical was designed to improve the patient care experience at every touch point, including thoughtfully designed offices, convenient appointments, and ample time between patients and their provider. While not required for scheduled in-person or remote appointments, One Medical memberships can be added as a Prime benefit for Amazon Prime members at health.amazon.com/prime for $9 per month or $99 per year or purchased at OneMedical.com. Membership covers access to One Medical’s 24/7 on-demand virtual care services, including video chats with licensed providers within minutes, allowing members to get fast care for common concerns such as allergies, skin issues, urinary tract infections and more. One Medical accepts most major insurance plans for in-person care or pre-scheduled remote visits.
One Medical patients will be able to transition seamlessly to Baptist Health for specialty care as needed, increasing patient choice and helping ensure they receive the right care, at the right time, in the right setting. Baptist Health’s comprehensive specialist network spans South Florida, offering access to leading experts across multiple specialties and state-of-the-art facilities.
One Medical also works with over 10,000 employers across all sizes and industries throughout the U.S. who sponsor membership fees as a benefit for their employees and their dependents. One Medical has offices in over 20 U.S. regions, making it easy for patients to maintain their health when traveling for work or leisure.
