- mikercampbell 4y agoThat makes me feel a little better.
- jimkleiber 4y agoFYI: https://galileohealth.com/ https://galileohealth.com/
- ceejayoz 4y agoThey’re both $200ish a year. What distinguishes them from each other in this regard?
- minitoar 4y agoidk about the new thing but OneMedical’s per-visit costs were quite high.

- verteu 4y agoOneMedical bills your insurance, so you're responsible for buying insurance plus all copays and deductibles. It looks like Galileo offers many services with no insurance required: https://galileo.helpscoutdocs.com/article/55-i-dont-have-insurance-can-i-still-use-galileo https://galileo.helpscoutdocs.com/article/55-i-dont-have-ins... Q: I don't have insurance, can I still use Galileo? A: Yes! Your monthly or yearly membership fee will cover all the care you receive within the Galileo app.
- renewiltord 4y agoI see One Medical - $199/yr ($144 first year) Galileo - $249/yr (or $348 paid monthly, or $45 single visit) Is there something else in the pricing that makes Galileo cheaper for poorer people?
- andrewem 4y agoI don’t know about pricing, but One Medical’s locations seem pretty clearly chosen to be in the richest areas of each city. https://www.onemedical.com/locations/ https://www.onemedical.com/locations/

- rngname22 4y agoI know when I was interviewing there they were talking about working with gov funded programs like for older or poorer people or something, as well as mobile clinics that would go visit people who had a hard time accessing care. Don't know if that's still all true tho, that was 1-1.5 years ago.
- tribby 4y agoa telehealth-only practice inherently cannot provide the same benefits, no?
