The health-insurance startup Oscar Health is working with the Department of Health and Human Services on a website the agency is developing in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Business Insider has learned.

Oscar on Friday released a COVID-19 risk-assessment survey and testing-center locator. The code used to power the tools is being shared with HHS, Oscar confirmed.

"We agreed to help the Government because it's the right thing to do," a spokeswoman for Oscar told Business Insider in a statement.

Oscar Health is working with the Department of Health and Human Services to power parts of a website the agency is building.

The health-insurance startup sells coverage on the individual exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act to small businesses and coverage to senior citizens through Medicare Advantage plans.

Oscar was cofounded by Josh Kushner, whose brother Jared is the son-in-law of President Donald Trump and one of his senior advisers.

The tools were made available to the public on Friday.

"Last week, the Oscar team built a COVID-19 risk assessment and testing center locator for our members," a spokeswoman for Oscar told Business Insider in a statement. "The U.S Government asked if we could share our code so that they could customize it for the website they are developing. We agreed to help the Government because it's the right thing to do."

The spokeswoman told Business Insider the company shared the code it had developed for free. "As a company, we believe it is important to step up and do all we can right now."

HHS reached out to Oscar about the tools on Friday. The tools had not yet been deployed as of Thursday afternoon.

HHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
