Oscar Health, Inc. (“Oscar”) (NYSE: OSCR), the first health insurance company built on a full stack technology platform, and Emory Healthcare, the most extensive health care system in Georgia, announced a collaboration to offer technology-connected health insurance and care at more than 250 provider locations in Georgia beginning 2022. This new collaboration brings an additional insurance coverage option to Georgians seeking care at Emory Healthcare in metro Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia.

Through the Oscar and Emory Healthcare initiative, more Georgia consumers have access to individual and family health insurance plans, focused on innovation and ease. The clinical and insurance experience will be driven by the combination of Emory Healthcare’s leading network of providers via the Emory Healthcare Network’s clinically integrated offering and Oscar’s consumer-centric, technology-driven, innovative approach to customer service and care navigation.

“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,” says Jonathan S. Lewin, MD, CEO of Emory Healthcare. “Oscar’s reputation of providing technology-driven insurance plans gives consumers another choice when deciding upon health care plans for themselves or their families.”

“We look forward to collaborating with Emory Healthcare as a way of delivering access to affordable, personalized care to residents in over 250 provider locations across Georgia,” said Dennis Hillen, Oscar’s Southeast Region SVP. “At Oscar, we are committed to connecting members with a wealth of high-quality providers who are equipped to meet the specific needs of our members. This is a commitment that we’re proud to share with Emory Healthcare.”

Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have continued to lose health care coverage as a result of unemployment. During the Open Enrollment period, these health plans will be sold on the federal health insurance exchange, with coverage to begin on January 1, 2022. Oscar and Emory Healthcare plans and care will include personalized health care coverage designed around each members’ needs and easy to access specialty, pharmacy and wellness benefits designed to deliver savings.

Oscar and Emory Healthcare look forward to delivering an innovative, affordable health care experience which fits the lives of Georgia members in 2022 and beyond.
