UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty said home and virtual care are going to be some of the top focuses in growing business lines. 

COO Dirk McMahon emphasized “broad home-based clinical care initiatives” as a priority across UnitedHealth Group’s portfolio. He said Optum specifically is looking to flesh out its approaches to at-home care moving forward. 

“We say within Optum Health or Optum Care that the build out of the home and community platform is one of the more important areas that [CEO] Wyatt [Decker, MD,] and his team are focused on,” Mr. McMahon said. “There has been lots of development there.”
