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.
  • 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.

Dedicated service
An account management team focused on serving school districts gives you and your members responsive, knowledgeable support at all times. For example:


  • Our on-site consultants will help you transition to the UnitedHealthcare health care plan, including support and training.
  • Calls from you or your members are answered by a team that specializes in helping school districts – and our call centers have a 92 percent first-call resolution rate.

Accessible care
With the nation's largest single proprietary provider network, employees have access to physicians and hospitals anywhere they go – no matter where summer vacation takes them. No referrals are required.

Retiree Benefits
We make it easy to extend the coverage for your active employees into retirement. We can guide you through our Medicare Solutions and modify them to meet the needs of your retirees.
