Sesame said it targets the uninsured and those with high deductibles who need to pay cash. It doesn't accept health insurance to help keep prices low. 

"Quality, great value and low price are what the Costco brand is known for," David Goldhill, Sesame's co-founder and CEO, stated. "When it comes to health care, Sesame also delivers high quality and great value — and a low price that will be appreciated by Costco Members when it comes to their own care."

The move has Costco following other major retailers in offering health care services. Amazon provides  around-the-clock remote access to third-party health care providers and Walmart Inc. runs in-store medical clinics.
