Oscar Health is posting impressive 53% revenue growth and is the industry growth leader in healthcare plans, but 93% revenue concentration in government premium payments creates existential policy risk, and business quality at 2.9 remains well below the 4.0 investability floor.

About Oscar Health, Inc.
About Oscar Health, Inc.
Oscar Health served approximately 2.0 million effectuated members across 18 states in the individual ACA market as of December 31, 2025 — up from roughly 1.68 million at year-end 2024 — with Florida accounting for 1,179,934 members and Texas for 358,910. The company's +Oscar Campaign Builder platform served nearly 0.6 million additional client lives for provider and payor partners. Approximately 2,305 employees supported operations as of December 31, 2025.
Oscar earns revenue primarily from ACA health insurance premiums, 93% of which were collected directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services via the APTC program and 7% from member payments in 2025. Members enroll principally through brokers using EDE platforms — the 10-K notes the vast majority of membership is acquired through the broker channel. In 2025, the company acquired three early-stage businesses (Lucie, Inc. / INSXCloud, IHC Specialty Benefits, and Healthinsurance.org) to build ICHRA and direct enrollment capabilities. The medical loss ratio and CMS risk adjustment transfers are the primary financial levers: base premiums are subject to risk adjustment based on the relative health status of members in a given state market, creating potential revenue volatility regardless of enrollment growth. Principal competitors include national carriers, regional carriers, Medicaid-focused insurers offering ACA marketplace products, and local Blue Cross plans.
Show full overview
Oscar's premium revenue concentrates in a single federal payer relationship: 93% of 2025 premiums flowed from CMS under the APTC program, meaning subsidy policy changes — including the expiration of enhanced Advanced Premium Tax Credits or new program integrity rules — could materially affect effective premium per member. Florida represented 1,179,934 of 2,042,449 total members at year-end 2025, over half the membership base; premium rate changes require state and federal regulatory approval under the ACA, exposing the company to multi-jurisdictional timing risk across its geographically concentrated footprint.
