Tech startups have changed nearly all aspects of the lives of Angelenos— but what about our health care?
Forget waiting at the doctor, struggling to find appointments, or even getting out of bed when you’re sick— health plan startup Oscar offers care at the push of a button. Members can use Oscar’s mobile app + site to request a call from a doctor 24/7 at no additional charge—and without spreading their germs. Finding a doctor is also easy, and the Oscar team will even help make your appointment.
Oscar also gives all members (18+) a free Misfit wearable fitness tracker to help improve their health. Members can earn up to $100 in rewards per year by staying engaged and active. Through their Misfit devices, Oscar members can track their own walking and sleep habits and transmit this information seamlessly to Oscar’s app.
The deadline to sign up for 2016 health insurance is January 31st, so be sure to research your options. After all, no one wants to sit near the sick person in the office.
