UnitedHealth is best understood as a healthcare operating system: insurance premiums and claims create scale, Optum manages pharmacy and care services, and data flows help price risk, coordinate care, and manage cost.
UnitedHealth makes money from insurance premiums, fee-based employer administration, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D, Medicaid managed care, pharmacy benefit management through Optum Rx, care delivery and value-based care through Optum Health, and data, consulting, and technology through Optum Insight.
