Five things to know:
1. Oscar Health discovered Nov. 23 that mailings with sensitive member information were incorrectly sent to other Oscar Health members.
2. The mailings were sent to members between Oct. 28 and Nov. 16.
3. Mishandled information included member names, Oscar ID numbers, provider information, claim numbers, plan name and affiliation, and procedure or service details.
4. The payer does not believe any member information was misused, but issued the statement “out of an abundance of caution.”
5. The payer has since addressed the issue with its vendor and sent mailings to the correct members. Oscar Health has also notified members affected by the error.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
