A New Way to Fit Healthcare Costs Into Your Budget
Solopreneur? Small business owner? Oxygen Health is helping make healthcare attainable and affordable. In collaboration with Oxygen Health.
No one should have to choose between their health and their financial well-being. Yet, with the exorbitant cost of healthcare today, many people face an impossible decision: obtain essential medical treatments and services or make ends meet.
Enter: Oxygen Health. Committed to shaking up the crucial juncture where finances meet healthcare, Oxygen Health offers a new kind of non-insurance health plan—one that’s both comprehensive and affordable. The company aims to break down the barriers of price that prevent many people from seeking the treatments they need by bringing a direct-to-consumer model to the healthcare market. To support this mission, Oxygen Health is partnering with providers of alternative and supplemental health plans and promising transparent pricing (no surprise co-pays or intentionally inscrutable small print) and flexible coverage.
The high cost of health insurance continues to be the biggest challenge for small business employers. Young adults (graduate students and early- to mid-20-somethings entering the workforce, weaning off their parents’ insurance) also struggle to pay costs—especially if they make less than $60,000 a year.
As more people begin to enter the contract or gig economy as solopreneurs without stable health insurance provided by an employer, there is an urgent need to provide everyone with an accessible and affordable solution—a need that Oxygen Health is working to address.
Just look at the data (thinking cap on): it’s estimated that more than 131 million people (66% of US adults) use some form of prescription medication. Because of rising insurance costs and high deductibles, more than 50% of this cost has to be paid out-of-pocket, causing patients to skip prescription doses or split pills to make them last longer.
Oxygen Health has taken the first step toward empowering individuals who are self-employed, their families, and small businesses by offering substantial savings on prescription medications and laying the foundation for future comprehensive healthcare solutions.
The Oxygen Health prescription discount program is an initiative designed to give members access to affordable prescription medications. By partnering with leading pharmacies nationwide, they provide discounts of up to 80% on prescriptions and 50% on over-the-counter medications compared to retail prices. The program allows individuals and small businesses to offer substantial savings on prescription medications, alleviating their financial burden with health plans that offer transparent pricing and flexible packages.
With plans to extend beyond prescription medications, Oxygen Health envisions a future where everyone can access affordable healthcare options tailored to their needs—from mental health support to wellness programs and more.
