5 Reasons to Sell Oscar Health
What California benefits brokers should know Oscar's new small group products.
1. Your clients want to hear about new options. What new plans or options will you offer your clients at next renewal? Oscar offers a unique solution for small business that should be on your short-list of options for 2018- 2019 renewals. We just launched our small group launch campaign in California for 6/1/18 so your clients and prospects may start asking to see an Oscar quote.
2. We are competitively priced. Our small group rates are lower than most competitor HMO plans, and over 20% cheaper than comparable PPO and EPO plans. Our 17 EPO plans are available throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties. We can be quoted on all popular quoting engines and top small group GA’s. Quote us now and see how much you can save!
3. Our network is strong. Top LA/OC hospitals like UCLA, USC Keck, Huntington, and Hoag Hospital are in our network. We are an EPO, not an HMO. That means no gatekeeper PCP or referrals needed for specialists. Plus, we have just one network... the same provider network for all members… no confusing 'skinny' vs 'full' networks.
4. We do health care differently. We put the member at the center of everything we do. All Oscar members get free & unlimited Doctor on Call, our own telemedicine program. Also, every member gets a dedicated concierge team with a nurse to help with coverage questions, booking appointments and understanding how to use their benefits. Plus, Oscar members can track their steps and earn up to $100.
5. We are flexible and easy to work with. You can sell or “pair” our plans along side any other carrier's HMO, PPO or EPO. We have simple underwriting rules, easy participation rules, and competitive broker bonuses. Getting appointed to sell Oscar takes just a few minutes. Get started here!
{ Why Oscar? We are named Oscar after one of our founder's grandfather. Our founders wanted a name that would help humanize health insurance and not just another typically impersonal insurance company name. Learn more about our history here .}
