Built for Better Health

Last updated: . For recent data, use our API.

Overview

We serve 100 million people, a role that comes with a profound responsibility — to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone. UnitedHealth Group brings together two businesses, Optum and UnitedHealthcare, to connect benefits, care, pharmacy and support services for the people it serves. The company works with care providers, communities, employers and public-sector leaders to expand access to care and improve affordability.

Today, health care isn’t working as well as it should. It’s too complicated, too expensive and unreachable for far too many. We are using our reach, expertise and ingenuity to improve it and empowering our talented team members — doctors and nurses among them — to find solutions for patients. The company reports negotiating $300 billion in discounts for customers and conducting more than 19 million home visits in 2025. It also reports closing more than 575 million gaps in care since 2021 as part of an effort to identify health needs earlier.

We are evolving our business by deepening our focus on preventive care and transforming our systems, culture and services to keep people healthy. And we are innovating to make care easier to navigate, afford and get. Our goal is simple: health care that works — and works better — for you, your communities and for America. Its stated priorities include building healthier communities through local partnerships, investing in technology and innovation, and providing greater transparency and stronger governance.
