About the Role
We want to make healthcare work better for everyone at UnitedHealth Group and Optum. This requires hiring the best and brightest. Our thriving ecosystem of investment and innovation supports the growth of our business in Ireland, ensuring the healthcare needs of the future are met.

Revenue Cycle Management Challenge
The current Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) process is complex due to opaque payer-specific adjudication rules, resulting in significant waste and inefficiency. Optum Insight is committed to delivering new technology and processes to improve the RCM workflow using advances in Gen AI and other state-of-the-art technology, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders involved in the healthcare ecosystem – payers, providers, and patients.
