Empowering employee choice with UHC Store
With UHC Store, employees can shop for additional offerings to complement their employer-sponsored benefits.
Available within the UnitedHealthcare® app and on myuhc.com®, UHC Store is a consumer-centric, digital shopping experience that allows employees to choose from and purchase a variety of discounted health, wellness and lifestyle offerings that are meaningful to them, and that can help supplement the other benefits they have through their employer.
This new way to shop for offerings helps enable a new level of employee choice and personalization. It empowers employees to personalize their suite of health and wellness programs and choose programs specific to their unique health journey. It also gives them the flexibility to add programs at any time, when needs arise. With up to 15% in discounts off retail prices, employees have cost savings opportunities on the health, wellness and lifestyle brands in UHC Store.
"At UnitedHealthcare, we’re hyper-focused on creating the opportunity to provide additional value to our members by offering programs we’ve negotiated at a discount on their behalf,” explains Amy Jordan, vice president of consumer digital engagement for UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual.
UHC Store allows employers to expand and add value to their member offerings without any additional cost. As a supplement to an employer’s benefit package, UHC Store offers the flexibility for employers to support the individual health care needs of their diverse, multigenerational workforce and help attract new talent.
To start, offerings available through UHC Store will be focused on:
- Everyday health — including resources and support for women’s health,* mental health and more
- Family wellness — including resources and support for family planning, caregiving, pregnancy and postpartum
- Fitness and nutrition — including resources and support for weight management, nutrition and fitness
- Health coordination — including resources and support for chronic conditions, such as diabetes, autoimmune, musculoskeletal conditions and more
Employers who offer more ways for employees to customize their wellness choices encourage a culture of well-being. This commitment to the personalized preferences of their employees may also give them a competitive edge when recruiting new talent and help raise employee retention rates through increased employee satisfaction and loyalty.
*“Women’s health” is a broader term used to describe conditions, services or supportive programs and resources, not to describe those supported. UnitedHealthcare provides supportive resources for all eligible individuals, regardless of gender identity.
