A connected approach to care built for better health and savings
Choose from a variety of specialty plans for your business
Eye health is an integral part of overall health. In fact, conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure — even some kinds of cancer — may be first discovered in a routine eye exam.2 And because employees are 4 times more likely to visit their eye care provider than their primary care provider,3 a quality vision plan may help employees get and stay healthier, which may also help lower costs for everyone.
With coverage for preventive and orthodontic care, plus enhanced benefits for pregnancy and diabetes, a UnitedHealthcare dental plan gives you and your employees a lot to smile about. And because improving oral health may impact overall health, a dental plan may help lower medical costs, too.
Financial protection plans are designed to help your employees cover the out-of-pocket costs of unexpected events that may impact their financial security, health and well-being.
Life insurance
A critical component to a more robust benefits package, these plans may help you attract and retain top talent while helping employees plan for the unexpected. Beneficiary support services such as access to grief counseling, financial and legal assistance, social media shutdown services and more are included at no additional cost. Choose from Basic Life, Supplemental Life, Dependent Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D).
Disability plans
Providing more than income replacement, short- and long-term plans are designed to help improve productivity, manage costs and maintain compliance while your employees are unable to work due to illness or accident.
Absence management solutions
End-to-end solutions harness clinical expertise and resources to help employees get back to work, with a focus on compliance, ease of administration and customer and member experience and management. Our core program includes managing and tracking state and federal leaves associated with the Family and Medical Leave Act and company-specific leaves, with buy-up and optional services available.
Provide additional financial security for your employees dealing with illness and injury with Accident Protection, Critical Illness5 and Hospital Indemnity plans. These plans pay a lump-sum benefit directly to the employee to help pay their out-of-pocket costs. To make administration simpler, bundle Critical Illness, Accident Protection and Hospital Indemnity plans with an eligible base medical plan through UnitedHealthcare Benefit Ally®.
