Our take
The US healthcare system is the worlds largest and most expensive, but has health outcomes worse than those of other advanced economies. Oscar is focused on building a system of healthcare that is completely centered around its members' experience, offering direct-to-consumer insurance, with digital tools such as a virtual care experience forming a key part of the company’s business model.
Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform. It gained a competitive edge by launching the "My Identity" functionality in 2021, that demonstrated a huge step for diversity and inclusion in healthcare, enabling users to input their names, pronouns and gender identity in the Oscar app. It also provides access to health providers that will understand a user's language, race, ethnicity, and health situation, showcasing the company's focus on optimizing member experiences.
The company has secured good funding in the past, and expanded into new markets and states since its launch. Fresh funds will fuel growth atop a series of successful years, as well as back ventures such as its Culturally Competent Care Grant Program, that awards grants to US organizations that are working to increase care access for underserved communities.
