CEO of UnitedHealthcare Medicare and Retirement, Tim Noel, was reported saying that the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a turning point for the company to scale up its virtual care offerings amidst the surging demand for at-home healthcare.
Despite of the pandemic leaving a drastic footprint on several industries, UnitedHealthcare continues to offer clinical as well as at-home services to its customers with utmost dedication, Noel added.
If reports are to be believed, UnitedHealthcare is currently providing care navigators to individuals that have recently undergone a surgery or cancer treatment as well as patients suffering from ailments such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes.
For the record, care navigators are a skilled liaison between the patient and the healthcare professionals. They enhance the access to the patients’ primary care by assisting in coordination and addressing claim issues.
