The company, already a notable player in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/healthcare\/about-the-aca\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Affordable Care Act<\/a> (ACA) market, is set to double its footprint and launch new products aimed at transforming the healthcare landscape. With a focus on growth, profitability, and technological advancement, Oscar Health is positioning itself for a breakout year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"expansion-plans\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expansion Plans<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health has ambitious plans to expand its footprint by entering 150 new metro areas over the next three years, effectively doubling its current reach. This expansion is projected to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/brucejapsen\/2024\/06\/07\/oscar-health-to-double-insurers-market-reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> increase the company\u2019s market share<\/a> from 13% to 18% by 2027. With a current membership of 1.5 million, Oscar Health holds 7% of the total ACA market share in 18 states.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The insurer expects to achieve a 20% revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR), a 5% operating margin, and $2.25 earnings per share (EPS) by 2027. From 2021 through 2023, Oscar achieved a membership CAGR of 37%, with significant improvements in medical loss ratio (MLR) and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The company now aims for an MLR of 80%, down 1.6% from 2023.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health remains optimistic about the ACA market, anticipating increased membership if enhanced subsidies are extended. Since 2021, the ACA market has grown by 79%, with 21 million members enrolled. The company expects this number to rise to 24 million, or up to 31 million with extended subsidies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"ichra-products-launch\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">ICHRA Products Launch<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health plans to expand its Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) offerings, targeting small and medium-sized businesses, as well as large employers with high benefit costs. If all employers with less than 1,000 employees adopted ICHRA models, Oscar\u2019s addressable market would grow significantly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Starting in 2025, Oscar will launch new ICHRA products for members accustomed to \u201cricher plans,\u201d including extra benefits and health savings account compatibility. The company aims to push ICHRA in markets with high employer group rates and multiple participating health plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"future-of-pb-ms\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future of PBMs<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>CEO Mark Bertolini has expressed a bold stance on the future of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), predicting significant changes in their current business practices. Oscar Health is closely watching Blue Shield of California\u2019s new PBM model, which aims to cut prescription drug costs by up to 15%. Oscar\u2019s contract with CVS Caremark expires at the end of 2026, and the company is considering new approaches to pharmacy benefits management.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"ai-and-technology-advancements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI and Technology Advancements<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health views artificial intelligence (AI) as a critical component of its growth strategy. The company aims to build the most automated health plan with minimal manual intervention and errors. With a 98% claims auto-adjudication rate and over 20 AI use cases in the pipeline, Oscar is leveraging technology to improve claims processing, member engagement, and clinical documentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Since August 2023, Oscar has reduced provider documentation time in virtual care visits and administrative efforts during messaging encounters. These advancements highlight the company\u2019s commitment to integrating AI into its operations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"oscar-campaign-builder\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">+Oscar Campaign Builder<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health\u2019s +Oscar campaign builder is designed to help healthcare organizations address technological gaps and improve health outcomes. The tool is marketed to regional health plans, integrated delivery networks, and accountable care organizations. Currently, more than 200 health engagement campaigns run monthly through +Oscar, showcasing significant client successes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In Medicare Advantage, Oscar sees opportunities as the market faces challenges. The company is exploring partnerships to offer private-label Medicare Advantage plans, aiming to capitalize on market turmoil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"hola-oscar-spanish-language-offerings\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hola Oscar: Spanish-Language Offerings<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health is committed to enhancing experiences for its Latino and Hispanic members. With a net promoter score (NPS) of 87 among Spanish-speaking members, the company plans to expand its Spanish-language offerings to more markets. This demographic has shown significant growth, with Hispanic and Latino ACA members increasing by 66% from 2015 to 2022.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar\u2019s initiatives include condition-specific plans for diabetes and COPD, and the company is exploring customized experiences for other underserved markets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Oscar Health is poised for transformative growth with its ambitious expansion plans, innovative ICHRA product launches, and integration of cutting-edge AI technologies. By doubling its footprint, targeting small and medium-sized businesses, and enhancing Spanish-language services, Oscar Health aims to increase its market share and profitability significantly.
