OPTUM SET TO CLOSE DOWN VIRTUAL CARE

Published on May 1, 2024

On a recent conference call, Optum notified some employees that its virtual care
division will cease operations in July, according to Becker’s Health IT. Optum
Virtual Care launched in 2021 and covers all 50 states. At UnitedHealth’s
investor conference in November, Optum’s CEO implied that virtual care is a
crowded market, and more recently, employees on social media have reported a
significant workforce reduction at Optum, ranging from nurse case managers to
senior director and management positions.

Now what? The surge in telehealth utilization during the most intense months of
the COVID-19 pandemic drove organizations to scale their capabilities. Now, most
need to make hard decisions on what services will withstand long-term ebbs and
flows in demand.
