Healthy Optumism (n.)
A realistic yet hopeful belief that when you’re grounded in real-world needs, human connection and data-driven expertise, better is always possible.
We're making healthcare easier
Optum makes healthcare easier by connecting services like doctor visits, mental health and specialty care — in clinics, at home and online. Making it easier to accomplish everyday tasks like scheduling, billing, medication management and getting test results — so care works better for everyone.
We’re helping lower the total cost of care
We focus on improving efficiency for the companies who pay for and provide care. We work to keep medication costs down. We equip care teams with tools and technology that help people stay well — and stop health problems before they start.

We focus on prevention and providing high-quality, evidence-based care tailored to people’s unique needs. With doctors and care teams across the U.S., we help more than 120 million people access medical care, mental health and everyday wellness services.
