ICYMI: Oscar recently launched Live Chat, a new experience for our Virtual Urgent Care (VUC) service that offers real-time conversations with the flexibility of messaging. It’s a faster, more modern experience—and it’s already reshaping how we deliver care. Brian Lee explains how the feature works and where it's going next: https://bit.ly/4l1h9qP

Managing diabetes can feel overwhelming. What if it didn’t have to be?

"We always told people that the only good reason to leave Oscar is to start a company. We thought it was great when people left to create something new," said Mario Schlosser, co-founder and CTO at Oscar. We're proud to be included in Index Ventures’ coverage of NYC’s thriving health tech ecosystem. At Oscar, supporting bold ideas has always been part of our DNA—and it’s exciting to see how that spark continues to fuel new ventures. Read more: https://bit.ly/3RpD1OY

At Oscar, providing care has always been about more than just offering clinical expertise—it’s about building trust. For Jamie Wiseman, MD, that belief took shape when she saw firsthand how a lack of trust impacted a loved one’s well-being. That experience sparked her commitment to advocate for patients and ensure that every interaction is rooted in genuine partnership. “We are deeply grateful to our physicians for the tremendous work they do each day in caring for our patients,” said Jamie, who is Senior Medical Director, Virtual Primary Care & Virtual Health Assessments at Oscar. “Through their work at Oscar Care, their dedication, compassion, and expertise not only improves lives but also builds the trust that is at the heart of every patient.” Here’s to the dedicated physicians who make trust the foundation of every patient experience—thank you for all that you do, and Happy Doctors Week from all of us at Oscar.

Proud Oscarian here. We're doing important things. Thrilled to share our WellDia story, born by teams of visionaries working together to create a meaningful program that helps members save money and stay on top of their health. It matters to our members. It matters to me.

My 7+ years at Oscar Health came with an incredible education about how healthcare is delivered in our country and the systems and strategies that work… and the ones that don’t. Today, Index Ventures is putting a spotlight on New York’s digital health ecosystem and the alumni networks behind many of today’s startups in the space. It’s gratifying to see how many of my former Oscar colleagues are featured in the piece! I shared my thoughts on how my experiences at Oscar helped me navigate the complexities of this industry as a founder — and ultimately helped shape our vision at Pearl Health. At Pearl, we’re building technology and services that enable providers to deliver more proactive, efficient, and patient-centered care. I’m lucky to be on this journey with an incredible team and proud of the part we’re playing in contributing to New York’s digital health ecosystem!

Oscar recently launched WellDia, a new diabetes management program designed to make care more affordable, accessible, and integrated for our members. Nearly 10% of Oscar members are living with diabetes. WellDia provides them with $0 test strips, lancets, and a glucometer, personalized support for high-risk members and 24/7 Virtual Urgent Care for immediate needs. WellDia complements Oscar's health plans by offering a streamlined and holistic approach to diabetes care. Learn More: https://bit.ly/42j2uzU

For decades, employers have chosen their employee's health plans. That has meant limited networks, uneven costs, and lost coverage when they leave a job. Our CEO Mark Bertolini believes there is a better path. Individuals deserve a system where everyone chooses their own coverage, keeps their doctors, and gets support that fits their needs—not their employers. He explains why in a conversation with The CEO Show: https://bit.ly/3XzIfv3

For Women’s History Month, Oscar has been celebrating the power of women’s voices. As we close out the month we asked our team what this month means to them. Swipe through to see what they had to say. Thanks to Nikole Langner, Alison Bloom-Kiefer, Ashley Domers, and Tammy Forchion for sharing their perspectives. #womenshistorymonth

Some members prefer phone calls. Others want to message their doctor quietly from work, on the go, or after hours. That’s why we built Live Chat, a real-time messaging option for Oscar members. It brings together the immediacy of a call with the structure and flexibility of chat. It's already changing how members engage with care. And our provider teams are seeing fewer handoffs, faster resolutions, and more focus. Here’s how we designed Live Chat to work better for everyone: https://bit.ly/4l1h9qP
