Better Information, Better Decisions, Better Health
We help people live healthier lives.
Everything we do is dedicated toward turning our accumulated assets into practical advantages that work for our customers. We use the insight we've gained from managing health benefits for over 30 million people to help physicians, hospitals and employers improve the health care system and get better results at a lower cost.

These insights extend deep into our enrolled populations – by demographics, by health risk, by lifestyle – right down to the individual member. So we can tailor highly specific benefit programs that make it easier for each individual to understand her health choices – and make better health decisions.

Our values
The core of our abilities rests on a culture of innovation that stems from decades of intellectual and technological leadership. We've led the industry with ideas like Care Coordination, the UnitedHealth Premium designation program and swipe card technology. And as we drive toward the future we are bringing this impressive legacy to bear on three simple goals: Better Information, Better Decisions, and Better Health.

Better Information means our data can tell us what's working and what's not. The practical results include:

  • Vigorously promoting recognized clinical best practices
  • Negotiating sound, sustainable network contracts 
  • Helping businesses structure their benefits for maximum advantage

Better Decisions means we support clients, physicians and health consumers at critical moments. By supplying the vital information they need we can:

  • Collaborate with our customers
  • Share data with physicians and
  • Influence consumers as they choose whether, how and where to receive care

In the end, Better Health means we constantly strive for earlier detection of those with health risk and ways to engage members in their own health, give them the support and tools they need and get them to high-quality medical or behavioral care for even better information, even better decisions andeven better results.
