What’s a day in the life
of an UnitedHealth Group
actuary like?

Case in Point: $75 Million Saved!

Problem: Improper use of medical coding. Actuaries work with Six Sigma experts to quantify the problem. With access to large amounts of claim data, the actuaries are able to make a detailed analysis.

Solution: New business initiative. The unnecessary spending identified by the actuaries’ work is eliminated. The savings can be used to improve health care for thousands of members.

“There is never a dull moment.”

Life as a UnitedHealth Group actuary is an experience like nothing else. Our work is fast-paced and challenging. Billions are at stake everyday. The employees are among the best and brightest in the industry. Every day is different.

“You really feel like you are a part of something.”

UnitedHealth Group actuaries are a part of the decision-making process. Teamwork is what drives our success. Decisions aren’t just left to the “higher-ups.” Actuaries work side by side with management finding the right solutions together. At UnitedHealth Group, every opinion matters.

“There is a sense of freedom here you won’t find anywhere else.”

UnitedHealth Group isn’t looking to hire robots — number crunchers who can’t see big picture. We want progressive people. Independent thinkers who can look at something in a different way. Creative minds who are striving for something more. At UnitedHealth Group, a dedication to freethinking keeps us ahead of the curve.

“We have access to so much more data than other actuaries, giving us a better chance to do our job right.”

UnitedHealth Group has the largest proprietary health care database in the nation. This gives our actuaries the opportunity to do trend analysis that would be literally impossible anywhere else. This database helps create better accuracy. While other actuaries are using just a sample of data to reach their conclusions, UnitedHealth Group actuaries use massive amounts of data to draw conclusions that are more valid and more credible.
