About us
At UnitedHealthcare, our mission is to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone. We are committed to caring for our members through every stage of life — from their earliest days to their working years and through retirement.
Plans of all types for people of all types
Across the U.S., we offer health benefit plans for all ages, all lifestyles and all kinds of budgets — including member programs for individuals and families, people with health insurance through work, and Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.
Bringing care to more people
We work with more than 1.7 million physicians and care professionals and over 7,000 hospitals and care facilities nationwide.1 Together, we work to provide more people with access to quality care when and where they need it.
Creating a better health care experience
We are committed to simplifying the health care experience and making quality care more affordable and accessible when and where people need it. That’s why we’re constantly working to better meet our members’ needs.
Simplest experience
We’re simplifying how people experience the health care system by streamlining processes and providing clear, trusted information that helps you understand and use your benefits.
Affordable coverage
We believe everyone deserves health coverage they can afford. So we offer coverage options designed to fit all kinds of budgets and work to take costs out of the system to make care more affordable for the people we serve.
Quality supported care
We offer personalized support to help you understand your options and get the care you need. By working with Optum, doctors and other care organizations, we’re helping make quality care easier to access and more affordable for more people.
Our priorities
Every day, we put our commitments into action by improving how people navigate and experience the health care system. We’re modernizing products, improving member and provider experiences, and focusing on proactive, preventive care — so more people can get the care they need with fewer obstacles and greater confidence.
