For Employers and Insurers

Although complex medical conditions may seem relatively rare, the statistics show they have a dramatic impact on patients and payers alike. Consider this: More than 10% of all couples experience infertility. The average charges of treatment for a child with congenital heart disease is $404,000. One in three people will have some form of cancer during their lifetime. The charges for an average transplant procedure is $598,000, but depending on the circumstances, costs can rise to more than $1 million.

As a payer, managing these cases can be time-consuming, costly and difficult. At Optum, we specialize in making the management of complex medical conditions easy - our comprehensive suite of products will help provide clinically superior, cost-effective health care to your members or employees.
