At least one large tech company has a one medical office onsite in its big campuses, and gives employees a free membership. Didn’t think the $200/mo was worth it otherwise but it was great having the doctor there at work and other offices available if needed.

Their online platform is very UX-focused. The app is nice and easy to use, and makes things like firing off a quick message to your PCP for an Rx refill super super simple. My old primary care doc had nothing of the sort. It was the old 1990s way of doing things. Try to get scheduled... by phone... a month out... for a refill of a skin cream I've used for 20 years. I get that they want me in yearly, but that's inconvenient and annoying.
OneMedical's practice management/online tool for patients makes scheduling dirt simple. Their offices are REALLY nice. It's a little touch, but it's trying to raise the bar on that. And they offer their own teladoc services as well, which are then obviously integrated into their EHR for your PCP services, so everyone is on the same page.
OneMedical tries to combine PCP with some urgent care services, so they have a same day component, as well as some specialty services.
Just a lot of small but meaningful ways in which they're better than a traditional PCP office. They're also apparently offering practice management and holiday support for existing practitioners, which is interesting from the perspective of the S-1. If their EHR/PMS software is as nice as their app, I imagine that's a welcome change.

For One Medical, it’s super easy to stop by for a 10 minute “something isn’t quite right” appointment, last minute travel immunizations, etc, and, at least in NY, it’s likely there’s an office within 10 mins of where I’m going to be in the city that day.
I think a specific practitioner makes a lot more sense if you’re often sorting out several long-term issues and having a long-term affiliation with one specific practitioner is important, but if you’re a yuppie in generally good health where you’re mostly looking for annual physical, and fantastic availability for quick “I’m sick and may need a prescription” visits and std tests and such, One Medical is perfect.
How much of their revenue can be attributed to their totally optional and very shady """annual fee""" they push on customers?
