UnitedHealth Group and Walmart on Wednesday announced a 10-year health care partnership that will begin with enhancements for 15 clinics in the southeast U.S. as well as the launch of a co-branded Medicare Advantage health plan.
Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group's insurance business, UnitedHealthcare, is the nation's largest health insurer. It's also the biggest provider of Medicare Advantage health plans, where seniors opt to receive government-funded health benefits through a private health insurer.
Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, operates a number of Walmart Health clinics that offer primary and urgent care along with other health care services in centers adjacent to Walmart Superstores.
