Did you know Costco partners with Sesame for discounted telehealth? Members get $29 virtual primary care visits, $79 therapy, $72 health checks, and more. No insurance needed, just your membership ID. It took me a while to find the Costco membership verification link.

Costco’s partnership with Sesame Health (Sesame Care) offers Costco members discounted access to cash-pay healthcare services nationwide, without needing insurance. Sesame is a direct-to-patient marketplace connecting users to providers for virtual and in-person care at upfront prices.
How It Works
- Eligibility: You need an active Costco membership (Gold Star, Executive, etc.). No extra signup for a separate “health membership” is required.
- Accessing Services: Visit Sesame’s website (sesamecare.com) and sign up or log in. Verify your Costco membership during booking to unlock exclusive pricing.
- Booking: Search for providers, book appointments (virtual or in-person), and pay directly through Sesame. Services are available in all 50 states.
Key Discounted Services for Costco Members
- Virtual primary care visits — $29 (for urgent care, general consultations, etc.).
- Virtual therapy/mental health visits — $79.
- Health checkups — $72 (includes standard lab panel + virtual follow-up with a provider).
- Mental health medication management — Around $65/month (varies slightly by source).
- Other services — 10% off everything else on Sesame, including in-person visits, specialist consultations, labs, imaging, and prescriptions.
- Weight loss program (expanded in 2024): Costco members get special access to Sesame’s “Success by Sesame” program, which includes clinician consultations, potential prescriptions for GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic/Wegovy if appropriate), labs, and ongoing support. Pricing starts lower for members (e.g., program around $99/month, with additional discounts on meds). Recent updates (as of late 2025) include options for half-priced Ozempic/Wegovy prescriptions filled at Costco pharmacies.
This partnership launched in 2023 and remains active as of early 2026, with ongoing expansions like weight loss support. It’s designed for uninsured/underinsured people or those seeking affordable out-of-pocket options.
