Optum Care in Idaho: What to know, how to access care
The Optum Care Network now offers comprehensive health care options for Medicare Advantage-insured adults in southern Idaho through an expansive network of providers, hospitals, urgent care professionals and specialists trained in the treatment and prevention of various ailments and conditions.
Optum Care providers are not part of the Idaho Behavioral Health Plan and do not serve Idaho Medicaid members at the moment; if you are an Idaho Medicaid member seeking mental health or substance use treatment or have questions, call the Optum Idaho Medicaid Member Access and Crisis Line at 1-855-202-0973 or check out the resources elsewhere on this website.
