Previous report
Our success and ability to grow our business depend in part on retaining and expanding our member base. If we fail to add new members or retain current members, or manage our membership growth appropriately to meet our business objectives, our business, revenue, operating results, and financial condition could be harmed.
Previous report
We currently derive substantially all of our revenue from direct policy premiums, which are primarily driven by the number of members covered by our health plans. As a result, the size of our member base is critical to our success. We have experienced significant member growth since we commenced operations; however, we may not be able to maintain this growth or manage our membership growth appropriately to meet our business objectives, and our member base could decrease rapidly or shrink over time.

Previous report
For example, CMS is increasingly focused on improving integrity in the Health Insurance Marketplace eligibility and enrollment process, and we expect this focus to continue. During the second half of 2024, CMS enacted new measures to respond to increases in unauthorized changes in consumer enrollments by agents and brokers and to reduce consumer burdens related to unauthorized enrollments, and these measures may make it more difficult for members to enroll in new plans or switch from one plan to another. In addition, on June 25, 2025, CMS issued the Program Integrity Rules which, among other things, created stricter eligibility verification processes for APTCs, as well as other requirements related to ACA plan enrollment, including shorter open enrollment periods and the suspension of certain special enrollment periods. For instance, certain provisions that went into effect in August 2025 include a pause in the SEP for individuals making <150% of the Federal Poverty Level (“FPL”). In addition, starting in 2026 with respect to policy year 2027, the rules will change the annual open enrollment period (“OEP”) for all individual market coverage to run from November 1 through December 15 preceding the coverage year, instead of through January 15 of the coverage year. Many of the provisions of the Program Integrity Rules would have impacted enrollment processes and APTC eligibility in the 2026 OEP, except that a federal district court in Maryland stayed certain provisions of the rules in connection with City of Columbus v. Kennedy. The court found that the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits with respect to their claims that certain provisions were contrary to law or arbitrary and capricious and therefore stayed these provisions pending the outcome of the litigation. The stayed provisions included stricter income eligibility verification processes for APTCs, such as provisions requiring more frequent reconciliation of APTC eligibility against tax returns, which would have impacted the number of individuals that qualified for APTCs. In addition, the court stayed the provision imposing a $5 monthly premium on enrollees in $0 premium plans who do not actively reenroll during open enrollment, which would have effectively prevented automatic re-enrollment in the 2026 OEP. We do not expect that this litigation will conclude before 2026, and CMS has confirmed that the stayed provisions will not be in effect during the 2026 OEP.
Previous report
We expect the Program Integrity Rules could result in a number of individuals in states where we operate losing eligibility for APTCs and could therefore reduce the number of individuals enrolled in the Health Insurance Marketplace. Although we do not expect that the provisions stayed by the court in City of Columbus v. Kennedy will be effective for the 2026 open enrollment period, the provisions that have taken effect, and/or the uncertainty caused by the stayed provisions, may still impact participation during 2026. In addition, we are unable to predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation, or the impact of the Program Integrity Rules on the Health Insurance Marketplace generally or our future membership.
Previous report
The OBBBA enacted several provisions that may impact the number of Health Insurance Marketplace enrollees and, by extension, the size of our member population. These include ending the APTCs for individuals who enroll in plans via the SEP with income below 150% of the FPL, prohibiting automatic re-enrollment for tax year 2028, and eliminating APTC eligibility for some formerly covered individuals (such as refugees and other immigrant populations). While we expect these provisions to result in a reduction in the number of enrolled individuals in the Health Insurance Marketplace, we cannot predict with certainty the magnitude of the impact on our membership or our business.
Previous report
The Program Integrity Rules, as well as the OBBBA, could have a material impact on the Health Insurance Marketplace and could also have a material impact on our business, revenue, operating results, and financial condition.
Previous report
It is possible that enhanced APTCs could be renewed, but the timing of such a decision, and the manner in which the enhanced APTCs could be renewed, is uncertain and could occur late in 2025, leading to potential disruption and uncertainty for the 2026 open enrollment period. Our failure to effectively anticipate, implement, and manage the operational and regulatory complexities associated with the extension of enhanced APTCs could also result in a negative member experience and make it difficult to manage membership changes effectively, and negatively affect our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations. If the enhanced APTCs are renewed, it is possible that a SEP would be initiated which could alter member mix and enrollment levels (including by allowing individuals who enrolled with us during open enrollment to switch to a competitor’s plan), as well as shift consumer behavior. Because these changes would likely occur with limited advance notice and implementation guidance, we may be required to quickly modify our systems, pricing, enrollment processes, and customer support operations to accommodate new eligibility rules, or marketplace workflows. Accelerated timelines increase the risk of operational errors, system disruptions, and member service issues, including delayed or incorrect premium billing, or data reconciliation challenges with federal and state marketplaces. Additionally, sudden enrollment surges may strain our customer service capacity, technology infrastructure, and third-party vendor relationships, potentially reducing service quality. While we are actively planning for various legislative and regulatory outcomes, including full or partial renewal, and have analyzed several operational pathways to mitigate these risks, these efforts may not be sufficient to prevent adverse impacts on our operations and financial results if the APTCs are renewed in whole or in part by the end of 2025, or are renewed on unfavorable terms.
Previous report
CMS recently announced the resumption of periodic data matching operations at least twice per calendar year to decrease the number of people simultaneously enrolled in Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program “CHIP” and a subsidized ACA health plan. These initiatives include sharing lists of dually-enrolled individuals with states and state-based exchanges, and for those dually enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP and a federally-facilitated exchange plan, directly notifying them so they can rectify their enrollment status. These provisions may result in a reduction in the number of enrolled individuals in the Health Insurance Marketplace, but we cannot predict with certainty the magnitude of the impact on our membership, overall market morbidity, or our business.
Previous report
We operate in a highly competitive environment and some of the health insurers with which we compete have greater financial and other resources, offer a broader scope of products, and may be able to price their products more competitively than ours. Many of our competitors also have relationships with more providers and provider groups than we do, and can offer a larger network or obtain better unit cost economics. Our inability to overcome these challenges could impair our ability to attract new members and retain existing members, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue, operating results, and financial condition. Additionally, if we are not able to grow our membership, we may be unable to attract additional partners to our +Oscar platform or maintain existing +Oscar partnerships, which could impact our ability to execute our growth strategy.
Previous report
Failure to accurately estimate our incurred medical expenses or overall market morbidity, or effectively manage our medical costs or related administrative costs could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Previous report
We set our premiums in advance of each policy year based on competitive factors in each market in which we participate as well as projections of our future expenses and of the future morbidity of the Health Insurance Marketplace. As a result, the profitability of our insurance business depends, to a significant degree, on our ability to accurately estimate and effectively manage our medical expenses and administrative costs, as well as accurately estimate the future morbidity of the Health Insurance Marketplace (and estimate our risk adjustment transfer).
Previous report
Numerous factors impact our ability to accurately estimate and control our medical expenses, including if the underlying data used as the basis for our estimates is incomplete or doesn’t correctly represent the health of our members. Furthermore, many of these factors are not within our control, including, but not limited to the items set forth below. In addition, many of the factors listed below may also impact our ability to estimate the future morbidity of the Health Insurance Marketplace:
Previous report
•changes in healthcare regulations and practices, including subregulatory guidance, regulations, or statutes that govern individual plans, or the Health Insurance Marketplaces;
Previous report
•the impact on the morbidity of our members or the broader market member population from ongoing regulatory actions to improve the integrity in the ACA eligibility and enrollment process (including the Program Integrity Rules and the OBBBA), the potential elimination of enhanced APTCs or the potential extension of enhanced APTCs, in whole or in part, by the end of the year, and Medicaid redeterminations;
Previous report
•increases in the costs of healthcare facilities and services, medical devices and supplies, pharmaceutical products and ingredients, including due to the introduction and adoption of new or costly medical technologies and pharmaceuticals, the impact of legislative or regulatory actions, including the imposition of tariffs on certain pharmaceuticals or other foreign imports, or macroeconomic inflationary effects;
Previous report
•the impact on the morbidity of our members or the broader market member population from any shrinkage in the Health Insurance Marketplace that results from price increases by us or our competitors;
Previous report
•changes in purchase discounts or pharmacy volume rebates received from drug manufacturers and wholesalers, or the guaranteed minimum discounts or rebates we agree to with the pharmacy benefit manager that negotiates and collects such discounts and rebates on our behalf;
Previous report
•continued increases in broker fees due to the proportion of broker-acquired business continuing to increase in line with the macro trend in the Health Insurance Marketplace of fewer members signing up directly on exchanges;
