Caring for our nation's heroes

The United States Military Entrance Processing Command (USMEPCOM) provides physical and mental examinations for applicants to ensure that they are prepared to join our nation's defense team. Optum Serve supports the USMEPCOM by leveraging our provider network of physicians to provide specialty exams to ensure candidates are ready to serve.

The Military Health System Nurse Advice Line helps active duty Service Members, their families and retirees receive and access care 24/7/365. As the primary contractor for this program, Optum Serve helps connect beneficiaries to a nurse or care coordinator within 30 seconds, anywhere, at any time.

Optum Serve supports the Department of Defense through the Reserve Health Readiness Program. This program provides Reserve and National Guard components with mental and physical exams to ensure they are fit for deployment.

Optum Serve assists the VA in providing quality compensation and pension exams to Veterans and separating Service Members seeking benefits for service-connected health issues.

Optum Serve supports the Veterans Health Administration's Telephone Lifestyle Coaching program, which encourages U.S. Veterans to take control of their health and engage in healthy behaviors. This custom lifestyle coaching program addresses the following behaviors: striving for a healthy weight, eating wisely, being physically active, managing stress and limiting alcohol.

Optum partners with the VA through its Community Care Network (CCN) as the third-party administrator in Regions 1, 2 and 3.
