Google Search Will Soon Let You Book Checkups and Other Medical Appointments

Google is partnering with MinuteClinic at CVS and other scheduling solution providers for the new feature.

So, for example, you might search for a MinuteClinic near where you live, and Google will return results showing the types of appointments you can schedule. In the screenshot above, Google shows you'll be able to schedule a visit for a check-up, vaccination, skin condition, or an injury/illness without having to leave Google search.

It may be helpful for people who don't have regular care providers or who aren't able to visit their current doctor. Google said the feature is still in the early stages of rolling out. It said hopes to expand partners and functionality of the feature to make it easier for users to access the care they need.
