You’re a physician first, and a business person second. But running a practice at maximum effectiveness and profitability can take time away from your medical care. AppleCare, part of OptumCare™, helps cut through the red tape and provides simple, effective solutions for you and your staff.
AppleCare provides physicians the necessary support services to navigate healthcare’s changing landscape while maintaining their independence and autonomy in the delivery of compassionate patient care. By joining AppleCare, you will discover a group of like-minded medical professionals that share your vision of helping through healing -- medical professionals who appreciate the challenge of working with and improving the health of your patients. We invite you to become a part of a team of dedicated medical professionals providing quality, compassionate care to patients in an environment that empowers and rewards you for your dedication and effort.
Maintaining an independent physician practice in today’s healthcare world can be challenging.

We work directly with independent brokers to help them understand the added benefits of AppleCare for the patients they enroll.
AppleCare can provide affiliated practices with an array of practice solutions to streamline operations and maximize their bottom line.
Practice Management / Electronic Health Record Consulting: We can help choose a product and support you through implementation, including locum support.
