Review
editHi Kate, I just made a few small edits on your article. I think you have a good structure and a very neutral tone overall. Maybe you could add a photo of their logo if you can get it up without licensing issues? -Glutenffrida (talk) 15:16, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Kate, looking good, I made a few small tweaks and recommend:
- as you mentioned, adding their logo;
- adding categories;
- the "Organizational Structure & Acquisition Timeline" section smells a little jargony/promotional. Unfortunately, I can't recommend anything specific, but I wanted to give you a heads-up given people tend to be sensitive to that. -Reagle (talk) 21:28, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello! My name is Barbara and I work for UnitedHealth Group. I'm here on Wikipedia to submit edit requests and suggest improvements to articles related to the company. I've been working with editors at Talk:UnitedHealth Group, but in this case I'd like to submit a request to add information to the infobox for our Optum subsidiary.
- Addition Revenues
Would editors consider adding revenue information as stated in our 2023 10-K? Following is the addition I’m proposing:
- Revenue $226.6 billion (2023)
- Addition Optum CEO
Per UnitedHealth Group Heather Cianfrocco has been appointed CEO of Optum. Following is the addition I’m proposing to the Key people section in the infobox:
- Heather Cianfrocco (CEO, Optum)
Thank you for making these updates to the Optum infobox! Barbara at UHG (talk) 20:29, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Addition to Leadership section
edit| | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
A recent request I submitted to add Heather Cianfrocco, CEO, to the infobox in this article was completed. I would now like to request that Heather also be added to the Leadership listing in the History section. Following is the update I am proposing:
- Apr. 2024: Heather Cianfrocco named CEO of Optum.[1]
Thank you for making this update! Barbara at UHG (talk) 18:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Done though note that this entire section format is kind of a mess and it would be better rewritten to remove the WP:PROSELINE. Rusalkii (talk) 23:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Business listing in History section
edit| | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of Optum, I'd like to request a correction to the list of Optum businesses in the History section, first paragraph under Organization. The text says Optum has the following four businesses: OptumRx, OptumHealth, OptumInsight and Genoa Healthcare.
Per the cited source,[1] Optum has three businesses: OptumRx, OptumHealth and OptumInsight.
Genoa Healthcare was acquired by OptumRx and is part of that business unit. It is not a fourth Optum business unit.
Additional support confirming Optum's three business units is available in the 2023 10-K.
As a result, the first sentence under Organization should read:
- Optum's three businesses, OptumRx, OptumHealth and OptumInsight focus on five core capabilities: data and analytics, pharmacy care services, population health, healthcare delivery and healthcare operations.
Thanks for making this correction! Barbara at UHG (talk) 20:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Citation linking to a page not found
edit| | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of Optum, I'd like to request a correction to a citation that goes to a source that shows a page not found.
The citation pertains to the following text located in the second paragraph at the top of the page: Optum was formed as a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group in 2011 by merging UnitedHealth Group’s existing pharmacy and care delivery services into the single Optum brand, comprising three main businesses: OptumHealth, OptumInsight and OptumRx.
A replacement source could be this Healthcare Dive article. Alternative suggestions from editors are welcome!
Thanks for addressing this issue. Barbara at UHG (talk) 19:17, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Barbara at UHG . I've tagged the link as dead and added the archive URL for now. The Healthcare dive source you've provided looks OK, but not sure if it's necessary now. -OXYLYPSE (talk) 16:45, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Perfect. Thank you. Barbara at UHG (talk) 17:05, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
