Individual Health Insurance and United HealthCare
United Health Care is one of the nation’s largest health and consumer services companies with approximately $11 billion in annual revenues. Primary operations include health insurance products for employer groups and Medicare beneficiaries in eight states and Guam, serving approximately 3 million members. Other specialty products and operations include pharmacy and medical management, behavioral health services, life and health insurance and dental and vision services.
If you are considering individual health insurance, United HealthCare may be a good choice. As you can see from their enrollment above, they specialize in HMO plans and have an extensive network of HMO doctors and hospitals. Their individual HMO health plans have been very competitively priced. You may find that you are able to obtain the most benefits (low cost doctor’s office visit charge, low payment for prescription medicine or while in the hospital) for a low monthly payment to United HealthCare. As always, check to make sure that the doctors and hospitals that you want to use are in the provider network.
