Mymee and Oscar Health, a New York-based health insurance company, joined forces to deliver meaningful health benefits to Oscar members who struggle with autoimmune disease.
Oscar Health members participated in 16 sessions with an assigned Mymee health coach to identify the triggers behind their autoimmune disease symptoms. Those in the clinical trial experienced improvement with fatigue, stiffness, digestive issues, brain fog, and more through working with Mymee.
Recently, Oscar Health highlighted its member, Kim, who described her experience with autoimmunity before and after Mymee.
"She went to every doctor and specialist imaginable and never found a clear diagnosis. She “tried every kind of medicine known to mankind. Every shot. Every pill. Everything they could think of.” But nothing worked. She tried alternative medicine, Reiki, acupuncture, holistic doctors, supplements. She even tried drinking celery juice for a month. And she hates celery.
After completing the Mymee program Kim was back to living her life. According to the article,
“I feel like myself again,” she says. And that’s a very big deal. She has a new puppy named DJ Jelly and spends an hour a day walking him in the hills. She’s headed back to yoga and the gym as well. “I was shocked that Oscar would proactively reach out and suggest something like this that is completely not conventional medicine,” Kim says. “To have Oscar say, ‘perhaps you should try something that’s been working for some other folks we’re working with’ was like a lightning bolt. I was just so impressed that an insurance company would think that way.”
Mymee and Oscar look forward to sharing many other stories like Kim's.
