California: Oscar Health leaving the state market in 2024

via Rylee Wilson of Beckers Payer Issues:

Oscar Health will exit the California individual ACA insurance market for plan year 2024 as part of a push to make its insurance business profitable. 

On a May 9 call with investors, transcribed by Seeking Alpha, Oscar Health CEO Mark Bertolini said the company is exiting underperforming markets to improve its profitability. 

"The company has been disciplined in managing its portfolio and improving the sustainability of our margins over time," Mr. Bertolini said.

Oscar Health plans to reenter the California market in the future, Mr. Bertolini said. 

Interim CFO Sid Sankaran said the California market represents less than 5 percent of Oscar Health's membership, with around 35,000 members in the state. 

This suggests that Oscar has roughly 700,000 ACA exchange enrollees nationally, FWIW.
