State government employee health coverage
UnitedHealthcare provides health care plans and services to state employees, retirees and their families. Customized plans may help employers lower costs. They also help maximize taxpayer resources while giving employees greater choice and control in their own health care decisions.

Helping balance the budget
As health care costs rise, employers are faced with a number of difficult questions. One of these questions is often whether to increase employees’ share of costs. That can include higher premiums, copays and deductibles. As it becomes more difficult to attract and retain employees in a competitive labor market, it's essential that employers work to find solutions to these health coverage and cost questions.
Collaborating with UnitedHealthcare gives state agencies access to a wealth of health care experience and solutions. With years of working with state agencies to provide health benefits, certain trends have become clear and these help to guide future plan designs.
