Oscar is the first health insurance company made on a full-stack technology platform and a relentless focus on helping our associates. So we founded Oscar in 2012 to create the kind of health plan we would want for ourselves – one that behaves like a family doctor.
So we believe all Americans deserve access to affordable, quality health care that fits their lives—whether it’s families looking for coverage that’s right for young children and their busy parents. Therefore, adults with chronic conditions who need their care providers to know first names, or seniors choosing a benefits package that will aid them through their retirement years – and everybody in between.
In March 2020, US healthcare systems went into overdrive in response to COVID-19. Oscar Health, a direct-to-consumer health insurance company, was on the front lines of the race to launch new services and tests. Therefore, on March 6, Oscar released a risk assessment survey and a testing centre locator for free public use. Therefore, the tools, which typically take months to bring online, were available within days.
So according to Duncan Greenberg, the company’s general manager of products, from conception to reality, the production process attracted multiple technology teams and employees from operations, government regulations and customer service. So “We sped up our normal product development process to almost bypassing it,” he says. “And yet we were able to create something that required the contribution of many people.”
Oscar prides itself on being a technology-driven company. Much of that innovation is the result of cross-functional collaboration. So when Sam Gross, technical product general manager, started the search for a new collaboration solution. He knew he had to bridge the gap between engineering, operations and customer service, at a minimum. In addition, the company wanted a hosted solution to avoid overloading internal technology teams and had to comply with the Health Insurance Compactness and Accountability Act (HIPAA). “We work closely with the Slack team to be HIPAA compliant,” says Gross. Therefore, “During our consideration stage, it became clear that Slack was design to facilitate secure communication between large teams; that was exactly what we needed.”
Internally, the transparency of Slack channels allows Gross to spot inefficient processes and common pain points. “If a Slack message about an issue spawns a thread of 100 more messages. So that means it’s important, and we may need to create something new,” he says. In addition, gross and other product managers can sync a channel with engaged users to get their feedback. “With channels, you can understand the common problems people face and create tools to mitigate them,” says Gross.
Oscar engineers created a sophisticated Grouchy application that allows technical teams to act on information from other software tools and services within Slack. For example, when Amazon Web Services sent an email about a degraded infrastructure support server, Grouchy immediately alerted Slack engineers. As a result, the engineers managed the transition to a new server “without interruption,” says Gross. So “It all happened in Slack without the need to log in to the Amazon Web Services console. So we got to the point where we could troubleshoot from our mobile phones in Slack.”
As we continue to bring the Oscar practice to new members, states, and markets, our goal will continue to build engagement, earn faith, and help our members live healthier lives. So we have created a suite of services that enable us to receive our members’ beliefs, leverage the power of modified data, and help our members find excellent care they can afford.
