Optum Network makes it easier to succeed with value-based care
Deliver great patient care and achieve better financial outcomes.
We get that caring for patients is your top priority.
But finding time for everything can be hard. With the challenges and requirements of today’s health system, it can be hard to balance everything while moving your practice forward — not to mention the complexities of value-based medicine.
Optum is here to help. We offer support, tools and an intentional step-based approach that makes it easier and faster to get to success with value-based care.
Broad experience. Local approach.
At Optum, we’ve supported more than 60,000 physicians across the country and 5 million patients in value-based contracts, with teams rooted in the local community. We bring you the expertise, tools and support to help you transition and evolve your practice every step of the way.
Value-based care is here to stay
Value-based care is not a trend. Each year, more and more patients are covered by risk-based health plans. Optum provides you with the expertise, tools and resources to help you succeed in value-based contracts.
