Building innovation across the revenue cycle
Optum’s solutions leverage clinically aware artificial intelligence. And they are infused with the experience of countless experts. The company builds connections between cost and care to advance the revenue cycle for long-term growth.
Optum360 solutions span the revenue cycle from end-to-end; patient financial experience, documentation and coding accuracy, claims integrity and processing, and denials management and recovery.
Patient Financial Experience
Optum360 elevates the patient’s financial experience across their entire encounter. Built-in payer-provider connectivity helps verify insurance eligibility and treatment authorization instantly, easing uncertainty for both health organizations and their customers.
For patients, this means accurate estimates of out-of-pocket obligations and easy payment options even before care is delivered. For health systems, it accelerates collection at the point of service, reduces denials and improves patient satisfaction.
Coding and Documentation
Optum brings artificial intelligence into revenue cycle operations to help achieving regulatory compliance and proper reimbursement. Our proprietary natural language processing comprehends clinical documentation, identifies discrepancies and applies appropriate coding.
Their AI technology and clinical and regulatory experts help to create a high-performance environment. They surround core systems with a rich combination of technology and expertise. This curbs errors, speeds reimbursement and improves financial performance.
Patients gain accurate quality reporting, improved medical necessity determinations and reduced denials. By attaining complete and accurate documentation and coding, patients reduce friction with payers, rework and lost revenue.
Claims
Optum360 streamlines the claims process from preparation and submission to payer response. Its powerful content and rules-based editing can eliminate needless feedback loops between providers and payers. It screens and corrects claims even before they leave your system.
This proactive approach improves claims integrity and boosts first-pass payment rates. This protects health organizations from avoidable rework, delays and denials. And our service and support teams keep you compliant with payer regulations and guidelines.

Payer-Provider Connectivity
Optum360 supports real-time communication and financial exchange between health systems and the groups that reimburse them. Automated sharing of clinical and claims data eliminates needless “back and forth” and administrative friction from payer-provider relationships.
Building data-sharing power into the revenue cycle improves transparency and efficiency across the entire care system. For providers and payers alike, that means smoother transactions, increased claims accuracy, reduced rework and predictable financial performance.
