Clinical Services

Person-Centered Care UnitedHealthcare is committed to members at the community level. By focusing clinical and care delivery through a person-centered approach, we address each member’s physical, behavioral and social needs.
➊ Person-centered care - not disease-focused Whole person care is not restricted to a facility, specialist physician, or primary chronic disease.
Integration of medical, behavioral and social care Community based services include social agencies, housing, transportation and employment.
Population segmentation and risk stratification place members into the best care models for their needs. Members with the most complex needs often have multiple conditions, represent a smaller portion of those receiving care and drive most of the costs.
Partnerships with integrated care systems and multi-disciplinary care teams Individuals are served by highly skilled clinicians as well as additional community resources like community health workers, peer support specialists.
Real time data sharing across the care continuum to support better decisions and better outcomes Value-based pricing with providers supports quality outcomes.

Blended Care Team
Member
The Whole Person Care team reports to one leader. They are supported by
program specialists who can “flex” to quickly address member needs.
Optimal health and well-being Whole person care focuses on maintaining good health by addressing a member’s interconnected physical,
behavioral and social needs.
Care plans also help support the member-care
provider relationship.
