Oscar announced plans to launch its new $0 Virtual Primary Care product and expand to a total of 19 states and 47 markets in 2021. The company will offer health insurance to individuals and families in four new states and 19 new markets during the upcoming Open Enrollment period, pending regulatory approvals.
Virtual Primary Care is the latest addition to the suite of Oscar Care features that provide a personalized experience for Oscar members. Oscar Care, which includes access to Oscar designated virtual primary and urgent providers, offers our members with Individual and Family Plans:
Virtual Primary Care: $0, unlimited virtual visits with a dedicated team of Oscar primary care providers. Tier 1 prescriptions, DME, labs, diagnostic imaging orders and initial specialist referrals prescribed by an Oscar Primary Care provider are also $0. Oscar Primary Care also will bring some care directly to members in their homes, by offering $0 vitals monitoring kits and in-home lab draws, when ordered by an Oscar Primary Care provider.
Virtual Urgent Care: 24/7 access to Oscar Virtual Urgent Care Providers at $0 for whenever a member needs to see a doctor quickly. Tier 1 prescriptions and labs are $0 when prescribed by our virtual urgent care providers, too.
Care Teams: Dedicated Care Guides, including a nurse, who know the member’s medical history, help them navigate their plan, and connect them with in-network providers.
“With the launch of Oscar Primary Care, Oscar is making even more unprecedented, cost- effective plans available,” said Oscar Co-Founder and CEO Mario Schlosser. “Americans consistently cite cost, quality and convenience as their biggest struggles with the healthcare system – our new offering solves for all of them.”
