Northern Light Health and Optum today announced a strategic
relationship to enhance the health care experience for patients and

Northern Light Health and Optum will work together to improve

and innovation. This will enable Northern Light Health to access
new tools and more resources that ultimately will enhance the
patient experience and enable providers to focus on patient
care.
“Optum and Northern Light Health are both values driven and
people and community focused,” said Timothy Dentry, president and
CEO of Northern Light Health. “Optum brings innovation and
expertise to a broad range of support services that will help us
manage some operational functions so we can focus on what we do
best – care for the people of Maine.”
Together, Northern Light Health and Optum will:
- Improve the scheduling and billing experience for patients and
providers.
- Advance digital capabilities to improve the patient and
provider experience.
- Leverage new technology and tools to ensure patients are
getting the right care, at the right time, and in the right
place.
- Use data and analytics to anticipate and respond directly to
patient, community and staff needs.
Optum will manage revenue cycle management, information systems,
inpatient care management, analytics, project management office and
supply chain for Northern Light Health.
“We are privileged to partner with Northern Light Health and
build on their success by helping to transform the health care
experience for patients, providers and communities across Maine,”
said Dan Schumacher, chief strategy and growth officer of
UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of Optum.
Approximately 1,400 Northern Light Health employees will become

continue to support Northern Light Health and become part of the
Optum workforce of 220,000 people with a mission to help people
live healthier lives and help make the health system work better
for everyone.
As part of Optum, these team members will have access to more
