Welcome to Optum Network—Washington
Optum Network of Washington works with primary care practices to achieve high quality outcomes for patients and increased efficiencies for practices to help them remain independent. Our value-based model lets you focus on patients and care for your wellbeing as well as theirs. Join the movement for more rationale medicine.
"The support Optum Network provides has been invaluable. We’ve experienced better patient care and interaction using the Optum Network tools. These resources translate to the entire practice. The idea of being a solo practice is wonderful, but value-based care is harder to do without strong support to enable the movement forward. The Optum Network support is beyond what you would imagine."
