This short article will explain how these insurance companies relate, what questions to ask to make sure you’re in network, and how to file claims.
Please note: YOU ARE NOT ON THE UHC WEBSITE
United Health Care (UHC), Optum, and United Behavioral Health (UBH) are all “Optum” companies which handle mental health claims.
All of these companies use the same Payer ID to file claims (87726), so they all end up in the same place at the end of the day.
But it’s important to do your due diligence to ask if you are in network for all of these plans.
We are happy to do all of this frustrating, time-wasting work for you with our mental health billing service. If you’d like to skip the pain that is insurance billing, reach out!
Call Optum, United Health Care, and UBH and Ask If You’re Paneled!
Easier to be certain than to be wondering what the deal is!
Always call each insurance company and ask directly.

Other United Health Care Billing Considerations

You can do this by calling them at the above phone numbers. Or you could contact us at TheraThink about our mental health insurance billing service and offload the hassle completely.
