Patient resources for staying healthy

So what makes our care different? Often people go to the doctor when something's wrong. They might get some tests done or pick up a prescription. Everything is a reaction to a health problem that's already happened. At Optum, we do things differently. Our focus is on helping you prevent health problems before they start. How do we do this? First, our doctors and care teams take the time to get to know you and understand your health. Then we help you create a personalized care plan based on your individual needs, powered by the latest data technology and the expertise of over 600 clinicians working behind the scenes. At Optum, your doctor has the insights to give you the care you deserve and not a lot of tests and procedures you don't need. Here, having the best plan for your health is just the beginning from preventive care to support beyond the exam room

like virtual exercise classes or mental health services, we help you stay healthier in every area of your life. If you have a chronic condition like diabetes or heart disease, your Optum doctor and their care managers work to ensure you get the right care, including easier specialist referrals, and even help scheduling appointments. More than 20 million people trust Optum with their care because our patients stay healthier, getting more checkups and spending less time in the hospital. Plus, over a hundred insurance companies have selected Optum doctors to be part of their networks, which means even more affordable choices for you. With care available at thousands of locations and convenient virtual care when and where you need it, Optum gives the support you need every step of the way.
