Dedicated to lowering the overall cost of care

UnitedHealthcare offers an extensive health care network that includes over 5,600 hospitals and 1.8 million health care professionals and physicians.1 Despite this vast network, broad coverage isn't enough. Employees still access out-of-network services, leading to significant out-of-network costs. That’s where Naviguard can help.

Naviguard services extend beyond the network to reduce the total cost of care. Support your employees and your business with key benefits including:
