Health insurance startup Oscar Health intends to cover telemedicine services for members with complex care needs, according to Politico.
Here are three things to know:
1. Neil Parikh, Oscar's senior medical director for care delivery, said in an interview with Politico that the "top five conditions everyone faces are the same top five conditions that we face [when providing telemedicine]."
2. Mr. Parikh said the company is still assessing how this type of initiative would work.
3. In August, Wired reported Google's parent company, Alphabet, planned to invest $375 million in Oscar. The investment will aid Oscar in expanding its technology, membership, markets and new business lines, including Medicare Advantage, in 2020.
