UnitedHealth Makes PHRs Lifetime

HDM Breaking News, January 11, 2008

The OptumHealth and UnitedHealthcare units of Minneapolis-based UnitedHealth Group have made their personal health records service accessible for life.

That means an individual covered by UHC insurance or OptumHealth’s outsourced health and wellness services will be able to access their PHR--and continue to enter data into it--if they change jobs or insurance coverage.

As long as consumers have UnitedHealth Group coverage, the PHRs are automatically populated with pertinent claims data. OptumHealth and UHC offer PHRs to more than 21 million consumers.
