Self-pay healthcare marketplace Sesame announced it is teaming up with Costco to provide the wholesaler's members with virtual and in-person healthcare at a discounted price through Sesame's network of providers.  Sesame's direct-payment healthcare marketplace provides consumers with access to telehealth and in-person services, including mental health consultations and urgent care visits. The service is offered to individuals without health insurance or those with high-cost deductibles.  Through the partnership, Costco members will have access to virtual primary care for $29, virtual mental health therapy for $79, 10% off all of Sesame's services and health check-ups for $72, which include a standard lab panel and virtual follow-up consultation with a healthcare provider.  THE LARGER TREND Last year, Sesame added $27 million in a Series B round of funding, just one year after it scored $24 million in funding. In 2021, the telehealth marketplace added an online pharmacy to its platform, dubbed SesameRx, with prescriptions starting at $5 with free delivery.
