Working with Oscar Health

Oscar Health mainly offers ACA Marketplace plans in a number of states, with narrow networks in many markets.

Plan types we bill:

  • Individual and family Marketplace plans
  • Small business plans in some markets

Credentialing and enrollment

Credentialing uses your CAQH ProView profile, so it must be complete, attested within the last 120 days and authorized for the payer before the application is reviewed.

STEP 01

Prepare

Licenses, NPI, CAQH and group details checked and updated.

STEP 02

Apply

Application submitted for each provider and location.

STEP 03

Follow up

Status checked every 1 to 2 weeks until approval.

STEP 04

Confirm

Effective date and participation confirmed before billing.

Claims, eligibility and portals

Oscar provides its own provider portal for eligibility, claims and authorizations. Network status matters because many plans are EPOs with limited out-of-network coverage.

Denials we prevent with Oscar Health

  • Provider not credentialed or not linked to the group TIN
  • Missing prior authorization for services on the payer’s list
  • Eligibility or coordination of benefits issues
  • Coding edits and bundling under payer policy
  • Claims filed after the contract’s filing limit
  • Out-of-network services under EPO plans
  • Members in the grace period for unpaid premiums
FAQ

Questions about Oscar Health

Why are Marketplace claims sometimes pended?

Marketplace members with subsidies have a grace period for unpaid premiums, and plans may pend claims during part of it.
