Optum provides access to quality dialysis care and lower costs
We partner with dialysis centers nationwide to provide much-needed quality care at negotiated rates. Access to this network of more than 6,300 preferred dialysis facilities1 can reduce costs up to 80%.2
Our network also improves patients’ access to care. If a patient cannot conveniently access a contracted dialysis center, we will negotiate patient-specific agreements or use partnership agreements.
Key benefits
Here’s how the dialysis network works for you.
Lower costs
Optum negotiates the best discounts and terms for dialysis services.
Improved access
We provide access to direct-contracted dialysis centers within 30 minutes or 30 miles of patients’ homes when possible.
More services
We assist with contracting services for patients who cannot access in-network dialysis facilities.
Reduced spend
Dialysis charges can lead to large and unpredictable yearly spend. Access to our dialysis network can result in significant savings.
Our network means significant savings for our clients
The Optum-negotiated per-session facility rates helped a dialysis network client save nearly $1 million on a single commercial member receiving in-center hemodialysis.3
