Integrating medical, pharmacy and behavioral services
Our approach
We are seamlessly integrating our medical, pharmacy and behavioral capabilities to treat the whole patient.
We are supporting the discovery of new drugs and treatments.
We are expanding our direct-to-consumer offerings so people can access the medicine they need with or without traditional benefits.
We are building new capabilities to help payers better serve people with rare diseases seeking gene therapies and specialty drugs.
Improving access to medications
Optum Rx is changing the way clients, consumers and pharmacies experience health care to deliver a simpler, more transparent experience.
Clinically led services improve medication access
Optum Frontier Therapies is making a difference every day for the patients we serve — especially for people like Skip, a patient with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Rare disease pharmacy
Most care providers will see a patient with a rare disease only a few times in their career, and many patients see multiple doctors over years before they receive a diagnosis and prescriptions.
Our rare disease pharmacy is helping patients, families, care providers and payers navigate the world of multimillion-dollar therapies, securing access to manage orphan drugs and providing help with the lifestyle changes that sometimes come with a new medicine to ensure optimal performance. Through this model, our pharmacist-led care teams support the whole person, and our technology platforms enable condition-specific data collection and reporting.
Innovative solutions in pharmacies
Nikhil and Colby, a pharmacist and engineer, collaborated to enhance quality in our pharmacies. The two developed a new AI technology to analyze pill size, shape and color inside pharmaceutical vials. Their work is used in seven fulfillment centers across the U.S., providing higher rates of accuracy to better serve our consumers.
