UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest health insurer, has a novel idea to cut costs: Give people more stuff for free.
The company has set up a subsidiary firm, Harken Health, that gives its members access to unlimited primary care services. Beyond visits to the doctor’s office, members have access to a 24-hour help line, a personal health coach, psychological counseling, and classes on fitness and nutrition. All for free.
So far Harken only operates in Atlanta, where it has six clinics, and Chicago with four.
