Optum: The $101 Billion Division of United Health Group Explained

[@Sheercashmere]

I was shocked (I’ve since calmed down, thank you very much!)... I thought ‘optum’ read opium!!!! You can imagine my surprise.

[@ahealthcarez]

Yes. Similar sounding name :)

[@Sheercashmere]

No wasn’t the sound of name ... I was misreading(hv cataract of protein on my left lens)

UHC is a massive wealth transfer agent. They have succeeded in transferring massive amounts of money from the employers and employees they insure into their own pocket, big pharma and the corporate medical systems.

What is OptumInsight and its revenue?

[@ScottHiddelston]

Used to be good, now absolutely horrid. Charging for pills that used to be free with 90-day, putting medications on hold because previous bills weren't paid despite having a credit card on file, constant website problems due to "updating our system". Worst Rx program I have ever been in.

[@ahealthcarez]

Have heard similar dissatisfaction. Thank you for watching.

[@mohergenrader2113]

My doctor sold to optum. And after the past year and watching this...we're fkd. We're getting out of it Jan 1. They are horrible and don't give a rat's arse about patients. $$$

[@ahealthcarez]

I’m sorry. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Same here😢

[@jasonschwab2446]

those revenue figures look tiny compared to today. Perhaps time to do another review using 2023 business lines?

And now Optum is out here doing erroneous claim reviews on providers! UHC is literally turning healthcare into a mess, but not for them, because they know exactly whats coming each time.

[@wallypalmer4704]

Optum is THE WORST company of its kind in the industry. I was sooooo happy when I was able to ditch them!!

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@michaelpalus7929]

If i don't have to deal with Optum the better it is. Didn't United Health give their outgoing CEO a 1.3 Billion dollar golden parachute several years ago?

[@ahealthcarez]

I don’t know. Probably not that much. Thank you for watching.
