Oscar Health partners with Emory on health insurance and care offering

“Emory Healthcare is pleased to collaborate with Oscar Health to offer an additional, high-quality health care plan for consumers at Emory locations throughout the state,” Jonathan S. Lewin, MD, CEO of Emory Healthcare, said in a statement. “Oscar’s reputation of providing technology-driven insurance plans gives consumers another choice when deciding upon health care plans for themselves or their families.”

The new offering comes at a time when many Americans lost health insurance coverage as a result of job loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Biden administration established a special enrollment period (SEP) in early 2021, which enabled 2.8 million people to sign up for coverage under the healthcare exchanges. Oscar and Emory’s health insurance product will be sold on the federal health insurance exchange during the open enrollment period, with coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2022.
