CASE ALLEGATIONS: Oscar Health is a health insurance company that claims to be the first such company “built around a full stack technology platform” which will “allow [Oscar Health] to continue to innovate like a technology company and not a traditional insurer.” In the IPO, Oscar Health sold 36,391,946 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $39.00 per share.

The Oscar Health class action lawsuit alleges that the IPO’s Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state that: (i) Oscar Health was experiencing growing COVID-19 testing and treatment costs; (ii) Oscar Health was experiencing growing net COVID costs; (iii) Oscar Health would be negatively impacted by an unfavorable prior year Risk Adjustment Data Validation (“RADV”) result relating to 2019 and 2020; (iv) Oscar Health was on track to be negatively impacted by significant Special Enrollment Period (“SEP”) membership growth; and (v) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about Oscar Health’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 12, 2021, Oscar Health disclosed that its Medical Loss Ratio (“MLR”) for the second quarter of 2021 was 82.4%, an increase of 2170 basis points year-over year. Oscar Health claimed that “[t]he MLR increased to 82.4% in 2Q21 from 60.7% in 2Q20, primarily driven by meaningfully lower utilization in 2Q20 as a result of COVID-19, as well as higher COVID-19 testing and treatment costs and a return to more normalized utilization in 2Q21.” Oscar Health also disclosed that its net loss for the quarter was $73.1 million, an increase of $32.1 million year-over-year.

Then, on November 10, 2021, Oscar Health disclosed that its third quarter 2021 MLR increased 920 basis points year-over-year, to 99.7%, claiming the MLR increase was “primarily driven by higher net COVID costs as compared to the net benefit in 3Q20, an unfavorable prior year [RADV] result, and the impact of significant SEP membership growth.” Oscar Health also disclosed that its net loss for the quarter was $212.7 million, an increase of $133.6 million year-over-year. During a conference call held the same day, Oscar Health’s CFO, Scott Blackley, stated: “We recognized approximately $20 million of risk adjustment expense this quarter related to our risk adjustment data validation audit or RADV results. The RADV exercise is atypical this year due to COVID. It spans two years, 2019 and 2020. The majority of the RADV headwinds relate to the 2019 audit results, which were recently completed.” On this news, Oscar Health’s share price fell by more than 24.5%.

By the commencement of the Oscar Health class action lawsuit, Oscar Health stock has traded as low as $5.76 per share, a more than 85% decline from the IPO price.
