Your faculty, staff, students and retirees need reasonably priced health care. More than 438,000 colleges and universities have trusted UnitedHealthcare to provide an affordable health plan with dedicated, accessible customer service and a broad provider network.

Better care, more control, lower prices
Most organizations are concerned about ensuring quality care while keeping costs under control. To help you and your members save, we:

• Use our size to your advantage. With more than 26 million members, we can negotiate lower rates with providers and pass the savings along to you and your members.
• Make the most of our connections. The UnitedHealth Premium® designation program identifies providers that meet or exceed criteria for quality and cost-efficient care.
• Promote healthier decisions. The United With Me program helps members become savvy consumers by teaching ways to get – and stay – healthy.
• Provide evidence and support. Our detailed reports highlight ways for you to save money. And our communications campaigns teach members how to get quality care at reasonable prices.
• Offer comprehensive student insurance. Students can get a wide range of affordable benefits with the StudentResources insurance plan, which allows coverage to be coordinated with your Student Health Center.

Success story
Special circumstances caused a family to miss the opportunity to purchase continuing coverage for their college student who had been injured at school. Through the StudentResources insurance plan, the student received a 12-month extension and assistance organizing the bills that had accumulated. "What a blessing you have been through all of this," the mother wrote. "Dealing with you warmed my heart."
