  • About the program

    • Oshi Health takes a whole-person approach to gastrointestinal (GI) care as part of your overall health. Our team of expert GI providers, registered dietitians, and gut-brain specialists—and virtual visits—are available when you need them. We provide clinically proven, personalized care for all types of GI symptoms and conditions, whether or not you have received a medical diagnosis.

    • We treat hundreds of GI conditions—including Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), gastritis, and more—as well as digestive symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and bloating.

      Whether or not you have a diagnosis, our GI specialists can address the root cause of your symptoms so you can get back to life without digestive issues.

    • Our evidence-based care helps you find lasting relief through ongoing access to a dedicated team of GI specialists, with virtual visits and chat messaging through our mobile app.

      Establishing your care plan:
      When you sign up (see details below), we take time to get to know you, your symptoms, and your care needs. You’ll first meet with a GI provider, who will review your health history and build your tailored care plan over the course of one or two visits.

      Working towards symptom control:
      Once your care plan is established, you’ll make progress to gain and maintain symptom control through visits with your dedicated care team—including a GI provider, registered dietitian, and/or gut-brain specialist based on your unique needs.

    • As an eligible Takeda employee, you receive 12 months of unlimited access to a dedicated team of GI experts, working across specialties to improve your quality of life by treating and managing your symptoms. Your care team may include:

      • Gastroenterologists 
      • GI providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants)
      • Registered dietitians
      • Gut-brain specialists

      You’ll also have access to our care coordinators, who can help you navigate your health journey, including medical record retrieval and any external referrals or procedural needs.

    • We put you in the driver’s seat—going at your pace and providing you with as much support as you need to gain and maintain symptom control.

    • We have appointments available when you need them, including evening and weekend options, so you can meet with your care team when it’s convenient for you.

    • Your privacy is our top concern. Our HIPAA-compliant mobile app and systems are fully encrypted to keep your medical information protected, and we engage in regular security checks to ensure our practices are current and effective. We never share individual-level medical information with employers or third-party companies.

    • Yes, you can choose to stop participating at any time. While we’d love to continue supporting you, we understand that circumstances may change. If you decide to discontinue, Oshi Health will only bill UnitedHealthcare for services already provided up to the point of notification. Any standard copays and/or deductibles for services already rendered will still apply, in accordance with your health plan benefits.

  • Getting started

    • Oshi Health is an added offering provided by Takeda as a partner program to UnitedHealthcare. This means that GI care provided by Oshi is in-network for employees and covered adults (18+) enrolled in a Takeda-sponsored UnitedHealthcare (UHC) medical plan. Participating in Oshi Heath (i.e., visits with our specialists and taking advantage of all the resources Oshi offers) costs you nothing other than your regular copays and deductibles as noted in your plan benefit details. For a tailored cost estimate, visit oshihealth.com/costquestions.

  • Billing

    • Yes, copays, deductibles, and other costs related to visits or external care services are HSA- or FSA-eligible for most patients. We recommend checking with your FSA/HSA provider for more information and details as to how you can use these funds.

  • About the providers

    • When you sign up for Oshi Health, you’ll get access to a dedicated team of GI specialists, which may include:

      • Gastroenterologists 
      • GI providers (nurse practitioners and physician assistants)
      • Registered dietitians
      • Gut-brain specialists

      Our priority is to address the root cause of your symptoms and improve your quality of life by connecting you to the right providers based on your unique needs.

    • Gastroenterologists are licensed, board-certified doctors with advanced training in the management of GI conditions and symptoms, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pancreatitis, and more.

      After medical school, gastroenterologists complete a three-year residency in internal medicine, followed by an additional three-year fellowship with specialized training in gastroenterology. Oshi Health gastroenterologists have all completed their fellowship training at a program certified by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

    • Our GI providers include nurse practitioners and physician assistants—licensed professionals with specialized education, training, and experience in GI conditions and symptoms. They deliver high-quality, personalized care under the guidance of a gastroenterologist.  

    • Registered dietitians are licensed experts in nutritional care who hold nationally recognized certifications from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and have completed accredited, supervised practice programs. Dietitians work in a variety of settings and practice areas. 

      Our registered dietitians have specialized education and training in gastroenterology. They provide our patients with tailored dietary and nutrition guidance to optimize digestive health and overall well-being, while keeping symptoms at bay.

    • Our gut-brain specialists are licensed professionals with an advanced degree in psychology or other behavioral health specialties. They have deep knowledge of the science behind the brain-gut connection and are trained in evidence-based therapies—such as gut-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, gut-directed hypnotherapy, mindfulness-based skills, and more—that reduce GI symptoms and enhance well-being.

    • Our care coordinators help you manage the logistics of care while also supporting our clinical providers to ensure coordination. We know that sharing medical history, scheduling appointments, filling out insurance forms, navigating health plan coverage and benefits, and finding local test sites (if needed) can be challenging—so our care coordinators help facilitate these tasks. Care coordinators at Oshi Health also have advanced training to understand the complexities of GI traditional care, including endoscopies, infusions, and more.

  • Medical services

    • TK

    • Yes, your Oshi Health GI provider can prescribe medications and send orders to the pharmacy of your choice. Just like other clinical practices, Oshi Health GI providers can also order labs, imaging studies, and other clinical tests, when necessary, in partnership with a local lab or GI clinic. For labs, imaging, and other external services, standard copays and deductibles may apply as noted in your plan benefit details.

    • You’ll meet with your team of GI specialists through the Oshi Health mobile app to develop and make progress toward your individual care plan. We also provide hybrid care as needed, partnering with local gastroenterologists to collaborate on your care. If in-person services are needed, we take a concierge approach—helping you find a convenient, in-network location. Please note that standard copays and deductibles may apply for any external services, as noted in your plan benefit details.

    • While we are not an urgent care clinic, we can help you get seen quickly, making us a great option for time-sensitive needs. If you are experiencing new or worsening symptoms, you can call Oshi Health at (646) 876-8455, and navigate the options to connect with a medical provider who can provide advice and help guide your next step, which could include helping you determine if an expedited appointment might be needed. At any time, if you feel you need emergency care, immediately dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
