Optum group sites and contracted IPA clinics both offer flexibility and give members access to the Optum network. Optum-owned group clinics are fully owned and operated by Optum-affiliated medical groups. That means the providers at these clinics are Optum employees. Contracted IPA clinics are individually owned and operated. These clinics can still access our in-network contracted specialty doctors and hospitals, but Optum is contracted with them rather than owning them. 

In most cases, yes. Providers in our network accept many different health insurance plans and types. You will just need to make sure that your client’s Optum network doctor is in-network on their new health plan. To confirm that a provider is in-network with your client's health plan, check the health plan’s website.
