UnitedHealthcare is the largest health insurer in the country, with an extensive national provider network. In Minnesota it’s primarily a Medicare option — its AARP-branded Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and Part D plans are among the most widely enrolled in the United States.

A note on these reviews: Options.Health is an independent brokerage that represents the carriers profiled here, and these are our own professional assessments — we’ve tried to be balanced about both strengths and trade-offs. The right carrier and plan depend on your doctors, prescriptions, and budget, which is exactly what we help you sort out. We’re paid the same regardless of which carrier you choose, so our advice isn’t tied to any one company.

What to consider

  • A very large national insurer — service can feel less local than a Minnesota plan
  • Medicare Advantage networks and extra benefits vary widely by plan and county
  • Compare drug formularies carefully against your specific prescriptions
Who it’s a good fit for: Medicare-eligible people who want a large national network or are drawn to the AARP-branded plans.

UnitedHealthcare, answered

Yes. We’re an independent brokerage and UnitedHealthcare is one of the carriers we can place you with. We’ll compare it against the others to find your best fit — at no cost to you.
It depends on the specific plan. Networks vary by product and by year, so before you enroll we check that your providers and prescriptions are covered.
No. We’re paid by the carrier and the plan costs the same as going direct, so you get local help and ongoing service for free.
