How Do You Find Trusted Optum360 Outsourcing Services?
Optum360 is now simply Optum, and the workflows are still daily work. Dedicated HIPAA-trained teams run your eligibility, claims, ERA and EFT enrollment, denial, and payment queues across Optum tools, alongside your own PM and EMR. Flat weekly pricing from $299 per FTE (volume based). Live in 14 days.
What Is Optum360, and What Is It Called Now?
Optum360 began as the dedicated revenue cycle management division of Optum, the health services arm of UnitedHealth Group, selling coding content, RCM technology, and outsourced revenue cycle services to hospitals and practices. Industry directories and analyst firms still list engagements under the Optum360 name, and plenty of billers still say it, but Optum’s current materials market the same territory under the plain Optum brand: revenue cycle management solutions such as Optum Integrity One, Patient Access, Patient Payments, and Revenue Integrity, alongside the Optum Intelligent EDI clearinghouse and Optum Pay for electronic payments and remittances. If you searched for Optum360, this is that world under its current names.
Whatever the label, the daily reality in a practice is unchanged: eligibility answers to fetch, claims to release through the clearinghouse, statuses to chase, remits to post, enrollments to file, and denials to fight, across Optum tools and the payer portals around them. Software renames itself; the queues do not. This page is about staffing those queues.
The Work Your Team Does in the Optum Stack, We Staff
Who Is This For?
Practices and billing teams whose claims, remits, or payments run through Optum rails: an Optum Intelligent EDI clearinghouse connection, Optum Pay deposits and remittance data, Optum payer enrollment paperwork, or heavy interaction with Optum-administered plans. It also fits groups that came out of an Optum360 services relationship and now want the opposite model: people inside their own systems at a flat fee, rather than a percentage-of-collections engagement run from outside.
Where Optum-Stack Practices Lose Time and Money
ERA, EFT, and EDI enrollments get filed once, then forgotten. Months later, remits are still arriving on paper and nobody knows which application stalled where.
See the fixElectronic remits post themselves, and denial dollars quietly land in adjustment buckets no one reviews. Recoverable money gets written off by a setting.
See the fixRoutes and enrollments break during migrations, and the failure is silent: claims leave the PM and simply do not arrive. Someone has to reconcile sent versus accepted, daily.
See the fixWithout an owner and a cadence, the queue gets skimmed from the top and timely filing quietly runs out underneath. Deadlines, not effort, decide what gets paid.
See the fixEligibility Verification
Our specialists verify coverage ahead of the schedule across Optum tools and portals, capture plan detail, copays, deductibles, and coordination of benefits, and enter the verified coverage into your PM the same day. For Optum-administered plans specifically, we run a dedicated service with its own trained bench; see Remote Optum Eligibility Verification Services.
Prior Authorization
We prepare, submit, and track prior authorization requests through the portals and workflows your Optum-administered plans require, document approval numbers and valid dates where schedulers and billers will see them, and hold pre-auth services from billing until the authorization is confirmed. Our standalone Optum Prior Authorization Services page covers this queue in depth.
Claim Submission via Optum Intelligent EDI
Where your claims route through the Optum Intelligent EDI clearinghouse, our billers release batches from your PM, review what the clearinghouse accepts and rejects, correct and resubmit the failures the same day, and reconcile sent against accepted so silent losses cannot accumulate. Access runs through your own One Healthcare ID accounts, named per specialist and approved by you.
Claim Status Follow-Up
We check claim status on a fixed cadence through the Optum portals and transaction tools available to your practice, chase unacknowledged claims first, track pends to a decision, and escalate stuck claims by phone with reference numbers documented in your PM. A status nobody reads is a denial with a head start; the cadence is the service.
Rejections and Denial Routing
Clearinghouse rejections are corrected and resubmitted within one business day. Payer denials are categorized by reason code, routed to appeal or corrected-claim paths with deadlines tracked oldest-first, and reported weekly by pattern so upstream causes get fixed instead of recycling. Where volume justifies it, our AI-assisted drafting keeps appeal letters moving without adding seats.
Optum Pay, ERA, and EFT Enrollment
Optum Pay moves payer payments and remittance data electronically, but only for providers whose enrollments are complete and current. We prepare and file EFT and ERA enrollment paperwork, including enrollments handled through Optum Payer Enrollment Services, track each application to confirmation, and maintain the matrix of which payers deliver remits where. When banking details or group NPIs change, the re-enrollment work is already owned.
Payment Posting and Reconciliation
We post electronic remits and paper EOBs into your PM with correct adjustment and denial code handling, audit what auto-posting did rather than trusting it, reconcile Optum Pay deposits against remittance data daily, and route anything that posted as an adjustment but reads like a denial into the recovery queue. The books should close every day, not every quarter.
Reporting and PM/EMR Sync
Portal answers, statuses, auth numbers, and posting notes all land in your PM and EMR, in your fields and your format, and the day ends with a production report in your inbox: what was checked, what was fixed, what needs your decision. The Optum stack stays your system of record for transactions; your PM stays your system of record for truth.

Book Your 2-Week Free TrialHow Our Teams Train and Go Live on the Optum Stack
New team members learn clearinghouse and payment work through our SOP library and supervised training on your own setup: which PM feeds your clearinghouse connection, how your remits arrive, which payers are enrolled for which transactions, and how your practice wants statuses and denials documented. Production starts supervised, with a QA layer reviewing output before the team runs independently, and you see a production report every evening from day one. Every specialist works under an individual HIPAA agreement with named credentials you approve, never shared logins.

Optum360 Outsourcing: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Optum360 still called Optum360?
Mostly not. Optum360 was Optum’s revenue cycle division, and current Optum marketing sells the same territory under plain Optum branding: revenue cycle management solutions, Optum Intelligent EDI, Optum Pay, and related tools. Directories and long-running contracts still carry the Optum360 name, which is why people still search for it.
What tasks can an outsourced team do across the Optum stack?
Eligibility verification, prior authorization tracking, claim release and rejection rework through Optum Intelligent EDI, claim status follow-up, denial categorization and appeals prep, ERA and EFT enrollment including Optum Pay paperwork, payment posting, and reconciliation, plus documenting each result in your PM and EMR.
Do you work with Optum as a payer too?
Yes. Optum-administered plans are a daily part of our eligibility and prior authorization services, and we run dedicated Optum eligibility and Optum prior authorization desks alongside the platform work on this page.
How is this different from Optum’s own RCM services?
Optum sells technology and outsourced revenue cycle engagements at enterprise scale. We sell dedicated people inside your own systems at a flat weekly fee per specialist, never a percentage of your collections, with your leadership keeping full control and visibility.
How do your staff access our Optum tools?
Through named individual accounts you approve, including One Healthcare ID logins where applicable, with least-privilege roles and full audit logging. No shared logins, no offline exports of PHI.
Can you fix our ERA and EFT enrollment backlog?

HIPAA-trained staff, executed BAAs, workflows designed to support HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and $5M in coverage. Full detail on our security page.
