Optum and your doctor work together

We value and respect the relationship you have with your primary care doctor. Two people with the same medical problem often need different care. We know that each person is one of a kind. That’s why we tailor our care to your unique needs.

We give you a personalized care team that puts you at the center. Your primary care doctor will work with your team so you get the right care when you need it.

We also make sure you see the right specialist. And we give you extra support and services to help your care run smoothly. We take care of the details so you can focus on your health.
