Provider Digital Transformation
The Way We Work With You Is Changing
In today’s world, being able to work quickly, efficiently and securely is more important than ever before. That’s why UnitedHealthcare is embarking on a multi-year effort to enhance our digital delivery channels and transition paper transactions to electronic, whenever possible. Our goal is to make it easier for you to work with us, reduce the time it takes for you to perform claim and clinical activities – and ultimately, help you get paid faster. These efforts align with the Quadruple Aim of lower cost of care, improved physician experience, improved patient outcomes and improved patient experience.
