Optum Care FAQs

Optum Care values and respects the relationship you have with your primary care provider (PCP). 

Two people with the same medical problem often need very different care. We know that each person is one of a kind. That’s why, at Optum Care, we tailor the care to meet your unique needs. 

We give you a personalized care team that puts you at the center. Your primary care doctor will work with your team, so you get that right care when you need it.

We make sure you see the right specialists. And we give you extra support and services to help your care run smoothly. We take care of the details so that you can focus on your health.

We can help you find a health care provider in your area that’s part of Optum Care. Give us a call.
