Who we are
Optum Care is a family of more than 53,000 doctors and 1,450 neighborhood clinics across the country. We work together to help over 19 million people live healthier lives — in-person or virtually.
For the doctors on the front lines, it’s not just a job. It’s a calling.
What we do
Our primary focus is primary care. Because of that, we can offer high-quality care at lower cost.
The primary care office should be the first stop for anything medical. It’s the gateway to better health, and home to everything that makes Optum different.
It includes:
- Case managers who organize all tests and appointments
- Care based on the latest science
- In-person community activities
- Virtual content to help patients live a more active, healthier life
That means we can offer our patients a range of specialists, urgent care centers, surgery centers, mental health professionals and more. And all of them keep in touch with the primary care doctor.
