Costco members have a ton of benefits, besides having access to the retailer's many warehouses. However, those benefits have just expanded significantly.

Per a press release, Costco has kicked off a new partnership with Sesame, a telemedicine brand offering a variety of healthcare services. This new partnership began on September 25 and includes discount pricing on a range of health services in all 50 states. Services and prices include the following:

-$29 virtual primary care appointments.
-$72 health check-ups that include a standard lab panel and a virtual follow-up consultation.
-$79 virtual mental health therapy sessions.
-10% off all other services from Sesame, including in-person appointments.

The press release notes, "Sesame doesn’t accept health insurance (which also keeps prices low). This makes it ideal for Costco Members that prefer to pay cash for their health care, whether it is because they are enrolled in high deductible insurance plans, are uninsured, or simply appreciate the price, quality and convenience of Sesame."

Current Costco members can learn more about Sesame and their services at Costco.com/Pharmacy.
