Oscar Launches New Affordable Health Insurance Choices for Charlotte Individuals and Families

Business Wire

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Oscar Health, Inc. (“Oscar”) (NYSE: OSCR), a leading healthcare technology company, today is introducing affordable, tech-powered health plans for individuals and families across Charlotte on the individual marketplace for 2026 Open Enrollment. Local residents can now experience the Oscar difference – healthcare that’s simple, personal, and easy to use at every step.

After one year in the greater Charlotte, Greensboro, and Winston-Salem areas, Oscar is already a fan favorite with technology that delivers unexpected experiences. More than 3 in 5 members recommend Oscar to their family and friends because Oscar treats them like family and friends.1

“Oscar is excited to expand our partnership with Atrium Health to deliver more innovative, personalized care to Charlotte’s growing community,” said Michael Roan, Oscar’s North Carolina Market Director. “This region deserves health coverage as dynamic as the people who live here – from broad coverage options to our first-of-its-kind menopause plan, HelloMeno.”

The following Oscar insurance2 plans will be available in Asheville, Burlington, Charlotte, Greensboro, Shelby, Wilkesboro, and Winston-Salem areas starting Jan. 1, 2026:

  • Oscar Bronze, Silver, and Gold Plans: Coverage options designed for all budgets, health needs, and cultural backgrounds. Enjoy convenient access to top providers and clinics, $0 virtual care urgent visits, dedicated Oscar Care Guides for one-on-one support, low-cost prescriptions with easy refills and home delivery, and smart technology to help everyone make confident and informed health decisions.
  • HelloMeno: A first-of-its-kind menopause plan with high-quality care close to home, guided by leading women’s health experts. Members get access to Atrium Health’s menopause specialists who truly understand this stage of life, plus $0 primary,3 gynecologist, and behavioral health visits, no-cost labs, hormone therapy, insomnia medications, bone density scans, and up to $120 in rewards for preventive screenings. HelloMeno empowers women to navigate midlife with confidence.
  • Condition focused plan: Tailored coverage experiences for members with diabetes, COPD, asthma, and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. Members can save up to $800 a year4 and get critical care for free. Think $0 primary, pulmonology, endocrinology, cardiology, and behavioral care; $0 labs; $0 pulmonary and cardiac rehab, pulmonary function tests, and oxygen; $0 diabetic eye and foot exams; $0 inhalers; $0 insulin; $0 health coaching and medical devices.5
  • Oswell: A personal health AI agent that empowers members with on-demand support about medications, common test results, symptoms, prescription refills, drug interactions, and more. Oswell pulls from medical records, interactions with Oscar care guides, and plan benefits for personal engagement every time – with quick connections to $0 virtual care, live chats with Oscar clinicians6 and in-network doctors.

Individuals and families can enroll starting Nov. 1, 2025, by visiting Healthcare.gov, calling 1-855-672-2788, or speaking to an insurance agent.
