Background on the Oscar Securities Class Litigation

Oscar, headquartered in Manhattan, New York, is a health insurance company that claims to be “built around a full stack technology platform” which allows the company to “continue to innovate like a technology company and not a traditional insurer.” In March 2021, Oscar Health completed its IPO, selling 36 million shares of Class A common stock at $39 per share, for proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion.

The action alleges that the IPO Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state: (1) that Oscar was experiencing growing COVID-19 testing and treatment costs; (2) that Oscar was experiencing growing net COVID costs; (3) that Oscar would be negatively impacted by an unfavorable prior year Risk Adjustment Data Validation (“RADV”) result relating to 2019 and 2020; and (4) that Oscar was on track to be negatively impacted by significant Special Enrollment Period (“SEP”) membership growth.

On August 12, 2021, Oscar revealed that its Medical Loss Ratio (“MLR”) for the second quarter of 2021 increased to 82.4%, compared to 60.7% in the second quarter of 2020, and was “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 also disclosed that its net loss for the quarter was $73.1 million, an increase of $32.1 million year-over-year.

On November 10, 2021, Oscar reported that its third quarter 2021 MLR increased to 99.7%, claiming that the increase was largely attributable to “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 also disclosed that its net loss for the quarter was $212.7 million, an increase of $133.6 million year-over-year. On the same day, Oscar’s CEO revealed during an earnings conference call with analysts and investors that the Company “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, the price of Oscar’s stock price fell $4.05 per share, or $24.5%, from its closing price of $16.52 on November 10, 2021, to close at $12.47 on November 11, 2021.
