I had access to--and used--OneMedical through my employer-provided health insurance for a couple years. The way to understand it isn't as an alternative to your health insurance, but as a care-provider network with a nice app and a bunch of offices (at least in the Bay Area, where I lived at the time) that you pay a subscription to. Overall, my experience was pretty good (with the caveat that this is all in the context of the US healthcare system, so the bar is rather low): I was happy with my PCP[0] and the overall level of care provided, and scheduling appointments (with my PCP or otherwise) was always really easy and straightforward[1]. I also never personally ran into any weird/scammy billing issues, something which I have encountered with some frequency at other healthcare providers[2]. That all being said, my work provided access to OneMedical as a perk, and I'm not sure if I'd pay the membership fee out of my own pocket if I ever move back to a city where they offer coverage (even setting aside concerns about its acquisition by Amazon). [0] n=1, and I'm a white dude without any serious chronic illnesses or ailments, so take with the obvious grains of salt [1] I was basically always able to schedule appointments within a week, and usually same- or next-day, which IME is unheard of in the American medical system in general. As a contrasting example, when I tried to find a PCP about a year prior to enrolling in OneMedical, but still living in the same metro area, most scheduling offices told me that there would be a 3-6 month waiting period for scheduling a routine physical, assuming they were taking new patients in the first place. [2] Again, n=1, so I doubt this is really a generalizeable data point.
