During the early stages of vaccine distribution, One Medical was accused of administering theCOVID-19 vaccine to ineligible patients in several states.[12] This resulted in a Congressional investigation.[13][14] The investigation concluded that One Medical sought to use its access to COVID vaccines for financial gain, by pushing those looking for vaccines towards its own paid memberships, and that it provided early access vaccines to those with insider connections at the company.[15]
In September 2021, One Medical acquired Iora Health.[16]
In 2024, Amazon's then-other healthcare offeringAmazon Clinic was integrated with One Medical to become its pay-per-visit services.[17]

Following news of the acquisition, several commentators and public advocacy groups expressed concern that the deal would harm patient privacy.[24][25] U.S. SenatorJosh Hawley, aRepublican fromMissouri, urged theFederal Trade Commission (FTC) to scrutinize the deal.[26]
Oregon's health agency, theOregon Health Authority (OHA) was empowered to assess the deal as there were five One Medical clinics operating in the state as of 2022. In December 2022, the OHA ultimately concluded in its preliminary review of the acquisition that the acquisition would not lead to a substantial reduction in affordable healthcare in the state. As such, the OHA approved the acquisition.[27]
