I agree this makes no sense, i pay the subscription fee so that I can get service when I need it.
One medical advantage is if I feel sore/sick I can always get a same day appointment and they treat me like a person .... which is a huge advantage.
I tried HMO and my "doctor" needed a minimum of 30 days notice to see me .... basically not helpful for being sick
Of all the complaints to register against One Medical, this has got to be the weirdest. For the customer base that they're going after (higher-income people, oftentimes those who have this fee covered by their employer), $200/year is a drop in the bucket for medical expenses.
