ostco, the membership warehouse club known for its $1.50 hot dogs and $2,000 gold bars, is now offering its members prescriptions to Ozempic, Wegovy, and other weight loss drugs.
Starting Tuesday, U.S. Costco members will be able to get prescriptions for these highly-sought after medications through the company’s health care partner Sesame.
Costco partnered with the health care marketplace in September to provide its members with $29 virtual primary care visits, $72 health check-ups (which include a standard lab panel), and $79 therapy sessions.
The partnership has now expanded to include Sesame’s new weight loss management program, which was established in response to high-interest expressed by Costco members.
“The No. 1 search term of Costco members seeking primary care on Sesame was around weight loss,” David Goldhill, Sesame’s co-founder and CEO, told USA Today.
