Global
It’s one thing to offer world-class health care. It’s another thing to deliver it across the globe. We’re doing what it takes to do both. UnitedHealthcare has an ever expanding base of customers in more than 130 countries around the world. Serving such wide span of markets requires innovative thinking that addresses personal security, safety, and health care needs in places that range from primitive to fully developed.
Our business operations include a range of health care insurance, health care facilities and networks, risk management and security services, travel assistance and more. Each business is complementary to the others and together, we can provide customizable and comprehensive solutions in any market place, anywhere. The opportunity is endless and the challenges we face on a daily basis never stop persisting.
