Apple eyes medical-clinic business

Share this:

Apple seems to be considering entering the clinic business. CNBC reports that the huge tech company recently spent months in acquisition talks with medical-clinic company Crossover Health, which runs Apple’s on-site clinics for employees, although no deal has been reached

The network also said that Apple, which has some health-related initiatives already underway, also contacted primary-care vendor One Medical about buying it.

Healthcare Dive reported that it’s not clear if Apple seeks to own and run a clinic network, which might be set up in some ways similar to its retail stores, or wants a vehicle for selling such health-related products as the Apple Watch.

Crossover Health provides on-site and near-site health and wellness centers for self-insured employers in the San Francisco Bay area, New York City and some other places.

Of course, buying or otherwise partnering with a primary-care network would give Apple easy access to providers who could test and use its burgeoning number of products.
