I'm really enjoying Oscar. I love the easy of using the app. I find it strange I don't actually seem to set a PCP but I find it easy enough to find the doctor I like and make appointments with him.

I have been a customer since 2013 when the exchange opened. I used to be a big fan of Oscar, going so far as getting friends to sign up because of the great service and benefits. It has been an increasingly disappointing experience that has significantly worsened in 2021. The customer service has been terrible, the policies opaque, and I am still considering whether to contact the Department of Consumer Affairs over my experience with Oscar when I had to deal with a Durable Medical Equipment claim this Spring. I have gotten factually incorrect information, I have waited for a call from customer service for days only to get a call (with no voicemail left) at 6pm on a Saturday and no way to follow up on the call I was desperately waiting for. I was told a person I had never been contacted by (and who never seemed to be in the office) was handling my case. I finally spoke to a manager who actually followed up with me, only to have her tell me she couldn't help me and that my problem was a known issue the company had no interest in solving. Her resolution was to tell me I should file a grievance. A nightmare for someone with a chronic illness like me who is simply trying to get my prescriptions filled. They also suspended my account immediately when I was a day late to pay premium (I paid it on the first of the month and the account was put into a grace period at midnight the night before), which caused a prescription to be rejected - again, not great when you have a chronic illness. Update 1 - Oscar did DM me (early Sept), and I responded with more details on my grievances, and have not yet received any acknowledgement of that message or a response nearly two months later. Update 2- Oscar responded to this update (late Oct) saying that the matter was escalated internally and someone will contact me. I will be waiting to see if that happens.

It seems like Oscar is trying to make a difference. It seems to be more "reachable" and in touch with the needs of the insured. Less bureaucracy and more results. The quality and availability of the service providers may need some significant improvement.

Have been with Oscar for a few years. Always easy to use the website, the app, get calls back from doctors, get scrips. Loved the encouragement with the Amazon gift card, but disappointed that it went from $240 max a year to $100, while my monthly cost went up substantially.

Oscar is amazing. My only concern is that Oscar does not cover my method of birth control (nuva ring) only the generic which is problematic and not effective. So I pay $160 every month for birth control. It’s a fortune. I am upset.

I guess with everything, you get what you pay for. In the case of Oscar, you have to pay for the gold or better plans in order to really get access to coverage. I have the silver classic select, and there are very few doctors, that I can actually see, Of those doctors, even fewer actually will even take me as a new patient. Access to specialty? Sure, on paper at least- but in reality, not so great. So my advice is stick with a larger company, United, Blue Cross, or pay even more to have broader access. The US Healthcare system is a disaster, and all insurance companies are not in the game to do more than make money so its a roll of the dice regardless, but I've had better experiences with larger providers. Oscar is a baby, and has a lot of growing up to do.

Oscar insurance has proven to be a great value with a large number of providers. Can’t beat a $5 co-pay! The provider list does not have a ton of information at this time, have to make the calls and view individual websites to make sure doctors’ are in-network.

An Avid Observer Tampa, FL

It was fine when all I needed was the basics taken care of. But once I start getting into advanced imaging or outpatient procedures it turned into a mess of uninformed employees, runarounds and terrible pricing policies. First I had an MRI scheduled, when I checked for pricing, I did not get an answer until the DAY it was done. However upon receiving reciept, I found it says "Price is just an estimate and may change". This was after I asked the clerk to verify the cost prior to me coming into the office. I have yet to see the claim appear on my account. My current issue: I had a procedure scheduled a month in advanced. It's now three days till the procedure and I have No IDEA what the cost will be. I have contacted OSCAR 5 times, and each participating physician offices about 15 times this past month trying to figure out the pricing for this procedure. I have received numbers between $45 and $3500 for this procedure. How can you be this incompetent? How hard is it to give an accurate price beforehand? The sheer number of uninformed people I spoke to is telling of how OSCAR operates. While the concierge team is generally polite, being polite isn't being informative and that doesn't help my plan to pay for necessary procedures. I have never experienced an issue with cost appraisals at my previous insurers. They would have a price in a few days so I can plan accordingly. At this point I'm already looking at other insurance companies, this place is a joke. This is my first year with Oscar and hopefully my last.

The 2 best things about Oscar is being able to see a specialist without a referral and the price. The 1 thing I don't like about Oscar is that a lot of healthcare providers--including my therapist and psychiatrist--are out of network, and these are not easy providers to replace.

All health insurance should call sick insurance, I only have access to preventive and checkups care. Doctors make up a list of bunch procedures to charge the insurance but when I explained they wouldn't cover all that, like magic the list reduce by 98%, everybody wins except for the patient...I should pay my sick insurance only when I'm sick and If I stay healthy I shouldn't pay anything...health services should be a right no something you have to pay and if you are not rich, guess what?, your decease will pass to normal and no treatment will be for you.

I hope that I didn't make a HUGE mistake changing insurance to this company. Signed up thru healthcare.gov - after selecting, directed me to website to make a payment. Website would not accept it - didnt recognize the forward. So i tried to setup an account using my social. Then it asked me to select a plan.????? Just did that. Tried to link the two with no luck.....Finally Received a bill on 12/26/19 with a due date of 1/1/20 and a threat to cancel if not received. Again on website, tried to enter Member id as shown on invoice ** EXACTLY**. responded bad formatting. although my social was correct, still could not pay bill online as there was no account associated with it. tried to call the "concierge" number just to figure out how to pay the bill.....no answer after extremely lengthy hold. I hope this is not an an indication of how they plan on doing business on Ohio.

I'm 63. I pay over $5,000 a year for medical insurance with Oscar. I have a $7,000 deductible so I don't go to doctors if I can avoid it. It's hard to put a positive spin on this. That said, if I could do better elsewhere, I would switch insurers. (I will be voting for the Democratic Presidential candidate in 2020...) I give Oscar credit for how they have streamlined the experience of getting information, even if the information I get is regrettable. Their Web site is uncluttered and intuitive; the customer service representatives work hard to answer my questions in a timely manner and are always pleasant. What is it they say about democracy--that it is the worst form of government except for all the other forms? Well, though I give Oscar a 2, I give all the others a 1.

While my plan is relatively limited and relatively costly, no health insurance is a cup of tea in this backwards country. Oscar does make it easy, however, to navigate my plan and my benefits via their website and smartphone app, making for a more accessible and seemingly transparent health care experience. I only wish coverage was wider-ranged and less expensive...

Deductibles are stupidly expensive on all insurance plans, essentially I have to pay $7,900 to get any real costs covered. Who can afford that? The only reason I have & pay for insurance is because I’m afraid of a catastrophic accident/illness but I know if that happens and I get cancer my deductible will be $7,900 and my $2-3 million will go away fast (due to the US having costs double any other country) then I will be out of luck

UPDATE June 15 2019 -- Oscar sent me a letter letting me know they will increase their premiums 22% at the end of the year. 22%?!! Of course their CEO gets a fat pay package, but obviously he's not doing a good job if he can't control prices. Can you imaging your Utility, your internet service provider, etc., increasing their prices 22% per year?? It's an OUTRAGEOUS GOUGING of their customers. Looking elsewhere and fighting the increase with the NYC Dept of Health Services. OLD REVIEW: Oscar lives up to the hype. Doctor on call or on the app is great. Concierge is very responsive. Have been pleased with the service so far.

I went for my "free" annual checkup in-network and had a blood table done and my bill is still $6,188.34 two months later. There are 3 general practitioners in Austin and 9 total in Central Texas (within 2 hours of Austin) that are available in-network. This company is a compete joke playing a dangerous game with people's lives. I would hate to be in a serious situation where I'm getting denied for what most other providers cover. Positives: cheap premiums (though denied when you use it), their app is easy to use, HSA available. Oscar may be good for something catastrophic but think twice before you dare use it unless you're on your deathbed.

Let Oscar's robotic template responses to real people's reviews here be your guide, then pick ANY other insurance company. "Oh, sorry you're frustrated..." - as in, Oscar doesn't think their customers' experiences of their piss-poor insurance are legitimate. You'll *read* their same cut/paste responses about how "sorry that you're frustrated" Oscar is. But after two years with Oscar in a major metropolis (LA), I promise it's getting worse to actually get care through Oscar. "...our Curated Network..." - That means you'll wait a month to see a doctor, if you're lucky. Plan on waiting and waiting and waiting to actually see a doctor. By the way, a couple of the providers in their carefully "curated network" are actually deceased. Pretty disgraceful. Oscar's cheerful fonts, app, and cutesy language doesn't cut it when your health and life are concerned. Their robo-replies here are very telling about how "corporate" and robotic and incompetent Oscar actually is. STAY AWAY!

Pros: Lowest Price for any metal tier, same benefits as other metal-tiered plans as other competitors, and if you like gimmicky presentation with decent technology, then Oscar is good for you. Their customer service team is amazing! They are very helpful and pleasant. The Bad: Very limited medical access because they keep throwing this curated network to manage cost. The problem is the Curated Network chosen will decide which local providers they want to contract to be part of their network. So, if you can't see many providers in your area, blame the curated network that Oscar has chosen, indirectly blaming Oscar because they fail to address this effectively. Great idea, but horrible execution.

Arthur Ellin New York, NY

Oscar offers a pretty thin network. In TVs and cellphones, thin is good. In medical care, not so much. It means that it's hard to find a good doctor to treat your condition. Or hospital. Virtually no major New York hospitals accept this insurance except Mount Sinai, and almost none of my Mount Sinai doctors accept it either. None of the good doctors I have gone to in the past accept this insurance. Instead, I have been to some truly horrible practices and clinics . In one case, over three visits, I never saw an actual doctor, just a nurse practitioner. I have also seen good doctors who are part of terrible, factory-like practices that make it impossible from them to do their jobs well since they only have five minutes with each patient. I have been misdiagnosed, non-diagnosed, etc. Oscar is also extremely stingy with reimbursements for lab work, physical therapy etc. even for preventive or covered services. They always find ways not to pay for certain things. They focus a lot of PR on their app, their "wellness center" in Brooklyn, and other meaningless stuff. On the key issue—medical treatment—they are terrible. The only reason I gave them two stars instead of one is that they don't require referrals for you to see doctors in their crappy network. This offers some freedom to pick and choose so you are not completely at the mercy of a primary care provider. But your choices may not be great.

I liked the intuitive design of Oscar's website and app, but their computer systems clearly have some kinks to work out. For a few months, their site and app showed that I owed $0 in premium payments. It even showed my statements for previous and current months as being paid in full. Then I got an email one day warning me that if I did not pay my premium, my coverage would be canceled. Immediately upon receiving this email, I called customer service to figure out what was wrong. I was told that an error with their system had caused the website to inaccurately display that I was paid in full, and that I actually still owed premium payments. So I agreed to pay my entire outstanding balance over the phone that day, and then I set the website to auto-withdraw from my bank so that this would not happen again. Two weeks later in December 2018, I received a letter in the mail stating that my coverage had been canceled due to delinquent non-payment. It stated that I hadn't paid during the grace period of December 2018 to February 2019, and my coverage had been canceled as of November 30. Obviously, these dates made no sense. I also received at the same time a welcome packet and new ID cards. Yet whenever I logged into the site at this point, it said I no longer had a plan through Oscar. I called customer service again and found out that even though this whole thing was Oscar's error, they could not reinstate my coverage because it had been apparently canceled by the Federal Health Market. I then had to call the Federal Health Market in order to figure out that when Oscar had tried to reinstate my plan the first time, the Market did not let them because the Market's records still erroneously showed that I had failed to make payments. Now I'm waiting to hear back from the Market as they have escalated my case to be investigated. I've been assured by both them and Oscar that this process will finish within the next 30 days and then my coverage will be reinstated. I'm hoping that will happen. Nevertheless, it is still bizarre that a healthcare company's computer system could be so broken as to cancel someone's coverage for no reason and send out notices that are so bizarre and contradictory; and then have no way of easily reinstating the plan even when the error was on their end. I had to do an awful lot of investigation on my own to even figure out what had gone wrong. So I'm currently uninsured, and I have to pay out of pocket for prescriptions until my coverage is reinstated. Oscar has offered to reimburse these costs once my plan is back, which I hope will happen. And they say I'll be able to have my doctor bill claims reprocessed at that point. Even still, what would I have done if I couldn't afford to pay for the prescriptions out of pocket during this period? Hopefully once this is remedied, I'll have better experience with Oscar, but so far it's been a major confusing headache.

I've had Oscar for 3 years. It's great EXCEPT for ONE major flaw: The provider network is much too small. It can be difficult to find doctors that accept Oscar. Perhaps in smaller communities with a smaller pool of doctors, it is easier, but in the NYC area, the ratio of Oscar doctors to everyone else seems tiny. One note about people who suspect fake positive reviews in October: Perhaps there are more reviews in October because that is when everyone starts shopping for new insurance. I know I found this site because of that....

I was pleased with them for the first few years but recently I’m finding they are difficult to get information about price estimates and coverage. I get sent in circles by everyone involved: doctor, lab, and Oscar. I do like getting paid for step goals, doctor on call has been helpful, and my doctors are in their network for the most part. I also appreciate their technology, the app is convenient and having immediate access to a concierge is pretty great. I just wish they could be more transparent about cost and coverages for specific procedures and tests.

Oscar has been a very good insurance for our family. We've had no problems at all with getting Dr. bills paid and it's easy to track claims and payments through the website. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because most communication with Oscar is by text or email. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone on the phone.

Oscar representatives ALWAYS take care of any medical requirements I might have upcoming. I currently have Stage 4 Cancer, and it is nice that my health care is one less thing to worry about! Thank you!
