CoxHealth enters ACA partnership

CoxHealth has committed to an agreement designed to bring Affordable Care Act coverage to its network with a new partner.

The partnership is with New York-based Oscar Health Inc. (NYSE: OSCR), according to a news release. The financial terms were not disclosed in the release.

Through the agreement, CoxHealth will be available through HealthCare.gov during the open enrollment period that runs from November through Jan. 15, 2027. Coverage is available in Barry, Barton, Christian, Greene, Lawrence, Stone, Taney and Webster counties.

“It's a great option for families across our region who want ACA Marketplace coverage connected to the CoxHealth doctors and care teams they already know," said Max Buetow, president and CEO of CoxHealth, in the release. “Partnerships like this reflect what CoxHealth is all about – finding new ways to connect our communities to high-quality, affordable care close to home.”

Cox HealthPlans, CoxHealth's insurance company, will no longer offer ACA coverage starting in 2027. It will continue to sell off-exchange individual insurance products in Greene, Christian, Webster, Stone, Taney, Barry and Lawrence counties.

For the new ACA coverage, employer groups can access healthcare plans, according to the release.
