Innovative Health Solutions for 2025
In 2025, Oscar Health (OSCR) plans to broaden its offerings within the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, delivering an enhanced “Oscar experience” to more individuals, families, and businesses.
These products will incorporate established networks that facilitate multiple pathways to high-quality clinical care, along with technology solutions designed to assist members in managing their health and making informed decisions. The Oscar experience is set to be available in 504 markets across 18 states.
Tailored Solutions for Diverse Communities
Oscar Health is dedicated to simplifying healthcare access with flexible plans that accommodate various budgets. OSCR is giving its members the freedom to choose the insurance plans that best fit their unique requirements, acknowledging that the healthcare industry frequently lacks the same degree of customer control as other industries.
Among the innovative offerings, Oscar is proud to introduce Buena Salud, a Spanish-first solution tailored specifically for Hispanic and Latino members. This initiative connects individuals with a dedicated Oscar care team and primary care providers who understand their cultural background, ultimately enhancing the care-seeking experience for these communities, which constitute nearly one-third of Oscar’s membership.
