I received a collections call this morning indicating teh call was an attempt to collect a debt. I explained to the agent I had contacted Oscar in August 2024, and told them I am on ********* and did not apply for Oscar Insurance. At that time, the Oscar agent said she would forward the issue to their fraud department to be corrected. The collection agent advised me to file a police report and file an ID theft report. At this time, I am asking Oscar to correct their records, and confirm in writing they have done so, and nothing should be reported to my credit report, and collection efforts should cease, and they should confirm all of that in writing.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for contacting Oscar regarding the enrollment of our members 2024 policy. Our member
states that they did not request to be enrolled in an Oscar policy for the 2024 plan year.
Furthermore, our member did not request claims to be submitted on this policy.
Upon further review, our members 2024 policy was enrolled through the federal health insurance exchange,
referred to as the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (***). Oscar does not have any ability to make
changes to our members policies if they are enrolled through the ***, without first receiving explicit
instruction from the **** We rely on data sent to us electronically from the **** and when we
receive notification pertaining to a members policy, we make the requested plan adjustment to
reflect any information exactly as relayed in the data transmission. We can confirm that Oscar did not directly enroll our member into the 2024 policy.
We have verified that these concerns were escalated to Oscars Eligibility Team who confirmed that
the members 2024 policy was unable to be terminated due to the submission of claims. Please note,
Oscar is unable to remove claims once they are submitted. This must be performed by the provider.
We have further verified that if our member would like their 2024 policy to be terminated, they may
contact the *** and appeal the past decision by contacting **************.
Please note that due to the public nature of this forum Oscar cannot share specific details such as
HIPAA protected PHI information. This includes specific member accounts and financial information.

Dear Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for contacting Oscar regarding the denial of our members authorization requests. In our members complaint, they state dissatisfaction regarding the denial of their authorization requests for services. They further explain that this has caused pain and suffering as a result of their experience with Oscar Member Services.
Upon investigation, we have verified that an authorization request was submitted to Oscars clinical review partner, *******, on February 5, 2025. ******* denied the request based on a clinical review for medical necessity on February 7, 2025. The provider then submitted an appeal on February 7, 2025. ******* also denied this request on February 7, 2025, based on a clinical review for medical necessity. Please note, an external review was submitted to Oscar. As a result of the external review with further information submitted, the services were approved on March 21, 2025.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and appreciate our members feedback regarding their experience. We want to ensure that we meet our members needs and we regret that their experience did not reflect that expectation.

Oscar has been sending me and my provider in circles for over a year now. I chose this plan from the marketplace sole because they should be covering my 2 providers and a life saving eye injections. They have yet to pay for any of the injection since beginning of 2024. I have been on the phone with them more than 30+ times and every time they are not able to provide efficient answers as to why this claim is not being paid. There has been countless efforts from the *************** on receiving prior auth and nothing! they keep withdrawing the auth that is sent by the doctor and refer me to different departments. I am working with a supervisor that has not done anything. My doctor herself has called the insurance several times herself and she was given verbal authorization by medical director ***** **** and that is also not being honored. I NEED these injection to be able to SEE and nothing has moved forward since Jan 2024!!!!Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:The response from Oscar is absolutely incorrect. The doctors office has sent countless records for prior authorization and appeals regarding the original 2024 claim denial. There is also an authorization from 1/9/25 that is still under review today is 4/1/25 that is almost 3 months!
the doctors office was given a day for discussion with Oscar and no one gave them a call. They even had the doctor in the conference room to talk this case through and no one called them.
** ****** herself has talked to the clinical director ** ***** **** and gotten a verbal approval several times. This too has not been honored.just to simply say doctors office has not done anything is very untrue. My actual doctor herself has been involved with this when I am there. I dont know that many physicians *** would this.
After attempting to call customer service more than 5 times and not getting an answer I finally got escalated to a lead named *****. He was responding for a while but has been unreachable.
It also has been impossible to get a number or a response on how to file a complaint with Oscar.
I have had a treating eye condition where this injection helps my vision for 5 years now. Without this medication I cannot SEE!
several insurances prior to this has paid without an issue. I cannot imagine how this would not be medically necessary.The doctors office that is prescribing this is a top US doctor and professor for uveitis. You cannot say the provider *** reviewed this simply knows better than a doctor *** has been working with mt impossible diagnosis.
please reconsider reviewing the evidence before responding.

I received a voice mail from Oscar welcoming me to their HMO plan. I have never before heard of Oscar and I certainly did not sign up for their plan. Ive had insurance through my employer for 44 years.Hopefully this is just a mistake , maybe they misdialed and got me. But if they did start an account or policy in my name, it is clearly FRAUD..

I was never informed about this insurance company and the address on the insurance is not a valid address. I was informed medicine was charged through them when all my prescriptions was with my current healthcare insurance. They have no remorse for customers that unaware of things that they never where informed of a switch and confirming information before running anything through their company. How can you run prescription if you have no confirmation or contact with a person. I called in to get this situation rectified to the marketplace and the said they contacted the Oscar health and it is valid when I never lived at the address on file in over 2 years. I was unaware of the insurance. They are not giving customers no remorse or help to fix situations that they are unaware of and not trying to find a solution. All they can continue telling me to go to the market place when I continue fighting between both companies that I was never aware of this insurance due to me not living at the address on file so I don't know how they can run prescriptions when I never knew about the company until I filed my taxes. This is causing a burden on me. I have no receipts with their names on it at all.Business Response

I cancelled my Oscar plan 1.3.2025 I was told I would not be charged for the month of January because of this. They charged me for the month of January, February, and are now trying to charge me for March. And this new charge is OVER 10x what I paid for my plan initially (with less money made by me annually). When I try to call the line (3 separate occasions, Im playing keypad merry go round where the menu lists number associated with options, I click said options, and after 5-6, Im brought back to main menu, causing me to continuing going for minutes on end. My last attempt was 20 mins of trying any number to get someone on the line to no avail. This is insane. Ive cancelled almost 2 months ago, Im getting charged, and I cant even call someone about it?? And I can only CALL because my account was CANCELLED and I cant get into the app anymore because my account was cancelled.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for contacting Oscar regarding a member's experience with being charged for a premium on a cancelled policy.
During our investigation, Oscar has confirmed that the member was enrolled in a 2025 policy through the federal health insurance exchange, referred to as the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (***). Oscar does not have any ability to make changes to our members policies if they are enrolled through the ***, without first receiving explicit instruction from the **** We rely on data sent to us electronically from the ***, and when we receive notification pertaining to a members policy, we make the requested plan adjustment to reflect any information exactly as relayed in the data transmission.
Upon investigation, the member was enrolled in a policy starting January 1, 2025, which was then terminated by the *** for an end date of January 31, 2025. A premium payment was initially charged for the month of January but has since been returned. At this time, Oscar can confirm that a premium payment is not on file for the month of January.
However, the *** has not yet directed Oscar to retroactively terminate the January enrollment and as a result, there is an outstanding premium balance. If the member disagrees with their enrollment with Oscar and would like a refund of the January premium, we suggest contacting the *** directly to request any enrollment changes as we are unable to refund any premiums payments for the time that a policy is enrolled or active.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this issue may have caused, and appreciate you bringing this matter forward for our review.

i keeping getting letters from oscar health care even after explaining to them that i have never heard or singed up for health care insurance. when i spoke to them last month i was assured the policy would be cancelled and they had me speak to someone named ******** in the marketplace. during our conversation she told me that she sent this to be investigated. meanwhile i have been getting denied coverage from my actual insurance company. i called oscar back last week and they kept saying i needed to provide my bank account info in order to proceed, to which i replied i had already spoken to them and my policy was cancelled. they replied and said according to your account, based on my phone number only, they showed an active policy. i told them again i never signed up for them, they said they had a glitch in their system and to cancel id have to call back in 30 minutes and hung up. i notified my insurance company and they are investigating. i am receiving multiple letters of money owed and EOBs to which is a direct violation of my hippa rights.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for contacting Oscar regarding the members enrollment in a 2025 Oscar policy.
Upon investigation, Oscar confirms the members policy was enrolled through the federal health insurance exchange, referred to as the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (***). Oscar does not have any ability to make changes to our members policies if they are enrolled through the ***, without first receiving explicit instruction from the **** We rely on data sent to us electronically from the **** and when we receive notification pertaining to a members policy, we make the requested plan adjustment to reflect any information exactly as relayed in the data transmission.
Oscar confirms that the *** has sent Oscar updated information terminating the members policy for no coverage for the 2025 plan year. Furthermore, Oscar confirms that the member is not responsible for any premium payment amount due.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this issue may have caused, and appreciate you bringing this matter forward for our review. If our member has any questions about this information she can contact our ************************** at ************ or *************************************************************.

We are healthcare providers without access to a dedicated provider relations representative. Instead, we are forced to rely on offshore representatives who provide no clear answers or resolutions, leaving us stuck in an endless loop of misinformation. Our claims continue to be denied in error, yet we have no access to a U.S.-based representative who can properly investigate and resolve these issues. Despite these challenges, we remain committed to our patients, but the ongoing claim denials create unnecessary obstacles to delivering care.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
Thank you for contacting Oscar regarding the concerns expressed on behalf of our provider. We have researched this case and determined the following:
An Oscar contracted provider expresses dissatisfaction regarding Oscars Provider Relations representatives. The provider stated that their office is forced to rely on offshore representatives who provide no clear answers or resolutions. Furthermore, the provider advised that their claims continue to be denied in error and they have no access to a U.S.-based representative who can properly investigate and resolve their issues which creates unnecessary obstacles to delivering care.
We appreciate our provider for bringing this matter to our attention. Their feedback has been shared with the appropriate team for potential future improvements. Oscar has taken note of our providers concerns and forwarded their feedback so that coaching may be provided to the representatives involved. We want to ensure that our representatives appropriately and promptly address our providers needs, and we regret that their experience did not reflect that expectation. Oscar strives to maintain a high standard of service, and we value feedback to continually help us improve our processes and procedures.
Due to the public nature of the BBB forum and the sensitive nature of this matter as it pertains to claims the Plan cannot provide details in this response. This is not an appropriate or secure forum to discuss claims issues in detail with the provider. Kindly note, we are responding in good faith with the limited information we can provide on a public forum. If our provider would like a more detailed response we would encourage them to contact Oscar directly for assistance so that we might disclose more detailed response in a non-public forum.
If our provider has any questions about this information or specific , we ask that they please contact our ***************** at *************

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because: This is not an acceptable response. I still dont have access to a US represetnative. The phone number you list is the same number i call and get the claims representatives that dont help . The response saying that they will better train their **** does not help with anything since that was my first point of contact. I will open a complaint with the insurance commissioner and see if they can help.[Your Answer Here]
In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.
