Diabetes is a major chronic condition in the United States (opens in new tab), affecting approximately 38 million Americans, or nearly 1 in 6 adults, in 2021. The disease’s prevalence is mirrored in Oscar's membership, with nearly 10% of members living with diabetes.
Oscar's mission is to make a healthier life accessible and affordable for all. We recently launched WellDia (opens in new tab) (pronounced “Well-DEE-ah"), a comprehensive diabetes management program developed to help members both manage their condition and save money in the process. Members can expect to save as much as $300 a year on diabetes testing supplies through the program, and it’s $0 to register.¹
WellDia offers Oscar members essential services, including $0 test strips, $0 lancets, a $0 glucometer and helpful care reminders. For those who qualify, we provide additional support through our Clinical Care Team, which includes personalized healthy nutrition and exercise plans and diabetes care coordination. For situations where members have an urgent need, are concerned about a blood glucose reading, or need help between primary care visits, members also have access to providers 24/7 with Oscar’s Virtual Urgent Care (VUC).
What makes WellDia unique and powerful compared to other diabetes management programs is its integration with Oscar’s broader services and offerings. Through our understanding of members’ needs, care history, and other utilization signals, we are able to tailor their experience, and provide more holistic care. Our comprehensive approach allows us to address care gaps, help members stay on top of their health and wellbeing, and ensure members receive end-to-end support.
