Read previewLate last year, Amazon projected its healthcare businesses to lose more than $1 billion for 2024, according to an internal planning document obtained by Business Insider. Although the company doesn't breakout financials on the healthcare business, investors will be looking for signs of success when it reports results on Thursday. That was mostly thanks to Amazon Pharmacy, which was projected to generate $1.81 billion in 2024 sales, a 45% surge. Amazon healthcare is slowing investments in smaller initiatives by delaying hiring for certain projects and reducing contractor spend, it added. It's upgrading the signup process, such as insurance card capture technology, and simplifying the linking between One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy accounts.

Read previewFor years, Google was the largest business customer of One Medical, the primary care provider Amazon acquired for $3.9 billion. Since purchasing One Medical, Amazon has embarked on a number of cost-cutting moves, including layoffs and office closures, as BI previously reported. That means Google's health insurance will be accepted at One Medical offices, though Google employees will have to pay for their own memberships going forward. Advertisement"One Medical is proud of the care we have provided to Google employees at a small number of locations on Google campuses, virtually, and in our hundreds of community offices near where many Google employees live, work, and shop," Amazon's spokesperson said in a statement. In a statement to BI, Amazon's spokesperson said One Medical continues to see "very strong growth," while Amazon's broader healthcare business is "growing robustly."

Or, in other cases, it can open the door to new options for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Treating obesity and addressing sleep apnea Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that results in interrupted breathing, preventing patients — and even their sleeping partners — from getting restful and restorative sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form, occurs when muscles in the throat relax and collapse preventing air flow. Before qualifying for the device, patients usually need to have tried treatment with a CPAP machine and an oral device and been unsuccessful. He downgraded Inspire shares to hold at the beginning of the year due to this uncertainty he was anticipating.

When people ask Dr. Jordan Shlain to describe his medical practice, he says simply: "It's a family office for your health." Rather than simply offering on-call doctors and faster visits, Private Medical has pioneered a highly personalized, all-in-one service that's more akin to the most sophisticated family offices for investments. Like family offices, Private Medical has an in-house team to manage a family's entire health portfolio – from fitness and dietary tracking to longevity research, surgeries and medical emergencies. Private Medical doesn't advertise and gets most of its business through referrals. Shlain declined to give specifics on price, but clients of Private Medical say it charges $40,000 a year for each adult patient and $25,000 per patient under the age of 18.

Read previewSome One Medical patients may soon lose affordable access to their doctors because of an ongoing clash between a preeminent New York hospital system and the country's biggest health insurer. For months, Mount Sinai Health System and UnitedHealthcare have been fighting over payments. Mount Sinai is also asking for higher rates in the middle of its three-year contract, which isn't typical, said Fitch analyst Brad Ellis. AdvertisementUnitedHealthcare argues that Mount Sinai demanded "outlandish" price hikes that would increase healthcare costs by $574 million over the next three years. The Mount Sinai representative said close to 100,000 patients, including One Medical patients, have been affected.

One Medical's former CEO is making the first investments from his new VC firm, Healthier Capital. The firm has already announced two investments, and Amir Dan Rubin said he's looking for more deals. Amir Dan Rubin announced the launch of his new VC firm, Healthier Capital, in December after capping his six-year stint as CEO of the primary care company One Medical. Healthier Capital announced its first two healthcare investments this month, co-leading a $21 million round for AI-powered medical imaging startup Ezra and backing behavioral health company Octave. Rubin told Business Insider earlier this month the firm was closing a third investment that hasn't yet been announced.

She said Amazon's healthcare business continues to grow and receive positive customer feedback. Less focus on senior healthcareAnother idea One Medical recently explored was to put less focus on the senior healthcare business. Still, for some One Medical employees, Amazon’s scrutiny is leading to growing frustration. “As Trent Green communicated to employees, One Medical employees will not return to physical offices at this time.

Read previewLast August, Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram that she'd gotten a full-body MRI scan from the startup Prenuvo, which sparked a national conversation about the merits of preventive imaging. With Kardashian's help, the scans were finally making headlines — and healthtech startup Ezra felt their impact. "The day that Kim Kardashian got a scan, even though it wasn't an Ezra scan, our day-over-day revenue spiked," Ezra CEO and cofounder Emi Gal told Business Insider. Those tailwinds have propelled growth for Ezra, which partners with radiology clinics to perform full-body MRI scans. And, with Ezra's scans, that startup has "helped hundreds of people find cancer," he added.

The head of Amazon's healthcare business wants employees to know Tuesday's layoffs are part of a normal business cycle, not a sign of underperformance. He noted that other companies have also made similar job cuts lately, urging employees not to believe the "pundits" who may say negative things about Amazon's healthcare business. "As often happens with changes like this, some pundits may speculate that we're eliminating roles because our health care business is underperforming — don't believe this speculation. In a separate email on Tuesday , Lindsay highlighted the growth of Amazon's healthcare business, saying the layoffs were intended to "reposition resources" so the company can better invest in other growth areas. He also said Amazon integrated One Medical's finance, legal, and tech teams into Amazon's healthcare business as it looks to "realign resources."

He also said stressed the healthcare business has seen steady growth across its Pharmacy, One Medical, and Clinic segments. Here's the full copy of Lindsay's email:Hi everyone,The past year has been incredibly exciting for all of our health care businesses, and we're seeing tremendous growth for Amazon Pharmacy, One Medical, and Amazon Clinic. We reinvented the Amazon Pharmacy experience throughout 2023 to make it more affordable and convenient for customers to get the prescription medications they need through RxPass, automatic coupons, partnerships, and more. We expanded Amazon Clinic nationwide, and since launch, the marketplace has seen a 96% customer satisfaction rating. Unfortunately, these changes will result in the elimination of a few hundred roles across One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy.

Tracy Warren cofounded Astarte Medical in 2016 to improve care for premature babies. Astarte, which sells software to standardize nutrition for babies in intensive care units, had raised $14 million in venture funding to date and landed contracts with four hospitals. Last year, the startup wasn't able to land as many new contracts as it hoped, with hospitals struggling to manage their slim margins. But Astarte ultimately decided not to make the promise to build AI into its tech for clinical decision-making. The startup is hoping to find a buyer by the end of the first quarter of the year.

As a multi-stage VC fund, Lightspeed has an advantage in its exposure to both early-stage and later-stage healthcare markets, Imanbayev said. And many later-stage healthcare startups still have plenty of room to grow, he said. The first one to three years are often slow-moving for a healthcare startup, too, as it works to get its first partnerships with payers or providers, he said. But they also tend to be less risky, since later-stage startups should have revenue streams or partnerships that demonstrate their value. Lightspeed led value-based care startup Aledade's $260 million Series F in June 2023, an unusually large deal as other investors cut much smaller checks.

Just nine months after closing its deal to acquire One Medical, Amazon is exerting more control over the primary care provider's employee pay. Prior to the Amazon acquisition, One Medical gave stock grants without baking in any growth assumptions. Like One Medical, Amazon reinforces this through its competitive total compensation program which, for corporate employees, typically includes base pay and restricted stock units (RSUs). As One Medical is now part of Amazon and can no longer grant employees One Medical stock, we are transitioning employees to Amazon's stock-based compensation model. Amazon's pay policy has long been a source of frustration for many employees.

Amazon is beefing up its mainstay Prime subscription program with a new benefit that gives members access to discounted One Medical memberships. Prime members can add up to five additional memberships on the same plan at a rate of $6 per person, Amazon said. Amazon is integrating One Medical into its Prime membership service after acquiring the primary health-care provider in July 2022 for roughly $3.9 billion. The tech giant has steadily added a buffet of benefits to its Prime membership program over the years as a way to lure more subscribers. Launched in 2005, Amazon Prime gives members access to free two-day shipping, as well as access to exclusive movies and TV shows, among other perks.

Amazon (AMZN) said on Wednesday that it's offering Prime members a discount on its new health-care service — another perk that should help bring more people into the online retailer's ecosystem. It provides members unlimited 24/7 access to virtual care as well as in-person, and remote primary care services. Prime members can add up to five people from their family to the One Medical plan for an additional $6 a month. Amazon offering a discounted subscription to One Medical's services is part of the company's efforts to expand the broader Prime flywheel by leveraging its 167 million Prime members. The goal of the Amazon Prime membership is to provide people with "one simple membership, something that provides shopping, savings, streaming and now positive health outcomes, said Jamil Ghani, SVP of Amazon Prime in a CNBC interview Wednesday.

Amazon is considering new subscription programs across grocery and healthcare, a potential shot in the arm for its Prime membership program. One of the ideas is to offer One Medical's service at a discounted price to existing Prime members, one of the people said. Amazon is struggling to attract younger customers and low income households to use its Prime membership program, one of the people said. Aside from Prime, Amazon offers separate subscriptions for video and music streaming, as well as its Audible audiobook service. Previously, Prime members received free grocery deliveries on orders over $35.

Amir Dan Rubin, CEO of primary care provider One Medical, which Amazon acquired about a year ago, is leaving the company later this year. Twitch CEO Emmett Shear resigned from Amazon in March, and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey retired last year. Amazon has looked to shore up its presence in health care through the One Medical and PillPack deals, as well as by developing services in-house. Last August, the company shuttered its Amazon Care telehealth service amid broader cost-cutting efforts. Haven, a joint venture intended to disrupt health care, disbanded in 202.

FRANKFURT, May 9 (Reuters) - Fresenius Medical Care (FMEG.DE) said on Tuesday labour shortages were slowly easing as the German dialysis specialist reported a drop in its first-quarter adjusted operating income, although not as steep as feared by some analysts. The company said in a statement on Tuesday its adjusted operating income dropped to 354 million euros ($390 million), compared with the median analysts' estimate of 335 million in a consensus posted on the company's website. The dialysis group's parent Fresenius SE (FREG.DE) has said this year it would cede control over the struggling dialysis firm, but keep its stake for now as part of a turnaround plan. Fresenius Medical, which was hit hard by a high rate of COVID-19 deaths among its patients, said this burden was easing, though excess mortality for now continued to weigh on growth. Its parent company, German healthcare group Fresenius (FREG.DE), said on Tuesday its first-quarter operating earnings slipped a currency-adjusted 10%.
Further, as machine learning adoption has continued to accelerate, customers have yearned for lower-cost GPUs (the chips most commonly used for machine learning). While some areas of the economy have struggled over the past few years, Amazon Business has thrived. Some people have never heard of Amazon Business, but, our business customers love it. For years, Amazon customers had asked us when we'd offer them an online pharmacy as their frustrations mounted with current providers. More recently, a newer form of machine learning, called Generative AI, has burst onto the scene and promises to significantly accelerate machine learning adoption.
