"Our goal with UMR is to provide those self-funded employer customers who prefer third-party administrators with deeper and broader resources, products and services available under a single banner," said Ken Burdick, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. "As a distinct business unit, UMR will have greater ability to deliver local and regional service to our customers while leveraging UnitedHealthcare's national strengths, including our network of more than 560,000 physicians and 4,800 hospitals throughout the country."

UMR will be led by Jay Anliker, formerly president of Fiserv Health.

"Under UMR we feel we have even greater capabilities to serve specific industries such as hospitals, municipal plans, Taft-Hartley plans and retiree benefits administration," said Anliker. "Fiserv Health, Midwest Security and United Medical Resources have always made service their focus. As UMR, we will unify our focus to better deliver on our five points of value: cost savings, flexibility, caring service, intelligent technology and unique solutions for unique businesses."
