In 2022, the South area owned the biggest proportion of the U.S. market, followed by the Midwest region. This is due to the presence of prominent insurance plans and a sizable population with standard group health insurance. Florida State has the largest revenue share for the South in 2022, while Illinois has a sizable revenue share supporting the Midwest region. Additionally, the market is aided by the growing popularity of Preferred Provider Organization (PPO), High-Deductible Health Plans with a Savings Option (HDHP/SO) plans.

The plans use member-focused technologies from Oscar and the regional and national provider networks of Cigna. As a result, Cigna and Oscar are able to provide small group health insurance across the nation in more than a dozen of the most important areas, including Kansas City, Georgia, Connecticut, Tennessee, and Arizona.
