The consequences are deepening for concierge health care provider One Medical following an NPR investigation that found the company administered COVID-19 vaccinations to those with connections to leadership, as well as ineligible patients.
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis is launching its own investigation into the San Francisco-based company s practices, NPR has learned. The probe has plunged the publicly traded company, whose business model depends on patients paying a $199 annual fee for VIP health care services, into damage control mode. Despite being warned that the company s lax oversight of vaccine eligibility rules was allowing ineligible patients to jump the line, One Medical has reportedly failed to properly implement an effective protocol to verify eligibility and instructed staff not to police eligibility, wrote subcommittee chairman James Clyburn in a letter sent to One Medical late Monday night.
