UnitedHealth Group operates two main businesses: health insurance and healthcare services.
The insurance side (UnitedHealthcare) sells medical coverage to employers, individuals, and government program participants (Medicare, Medicaid). It covers roughly 51 million members and earns money by collecting premiums and managing medical costs.
The services side (Optum) runs pharmacy benefit management, outpatient clinics, and data/analytics services. Optum sells to both UnitedHealthcare and external health systems, insurers, and employers — making it a revenue source independent of the insurance business.
Revenue comes primarily from insurance premiums, with a growing share from Optum's fee-based and pharmacy services.
