Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

At Optum , part of the UnitedHealth Group family of businesses, you will join a community-based, multi-specialty, physician-led organization where you will work with talented peers on a common purpose: improving the quality, cost, and experience of health care. Here, we focus on delivering the best patient care, rather than volume. Through innovation and superior care management, we support patients and your well-being as a team member.

• Work with the providers and clinic staff to identify patients at high risk.

• Perform assessment of health conditions and medication reconciliation.

• Provide education to patients on how to manage chronic conditions.

• Coordinate with providers to establish or update care plans.

• Perform accurate and timely documentation in patients’ electronic medical records.

• Perform clinical tasks within scope of practice.

You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
