• Online tool is latest addition to UnitedHealthcare’s innovative programs and services

UnitedHealthcare, a UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) company, is expanding the availability of Quicken Health Expense Tracker^SM to help nearly 700,000 of its commercial health plan enrollees nationwide better manage their health-related finances and information.

Developed by Mountain View, Calif.-based Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) and UnitedHealth Group’s Ingenix subsidiary, Quicken Health Expense Tracker helps consumers organize and understand their health care financial information in a simple, clear way that will help them make more informed decisions about their medical expenses.

Following a successful pilot program, UnitedHealthcare is now offering employees of select large-business customers access to Quicken Health Expense Tracker and expects to make it available to more than 20 million commercial health plan participants by year end.

“We are making it easier for consumers to manage their health-related finances at a time when these individuals are taking more ownership of their health care decisions,” said Mike Matteo, CEO of UnitedHealthcare’s national accounts business that serves large employers. “With this ownership comes a greater need for decision-making tools that help consumers simplify how they collect, manage and understand their health care expenses. Quicken Health Expense Tracker enables users to translate the oftentimes fragmented components of their health care costs into more transparent, usable information.”

Intuit’s own research with more than 7,800 consumers found that people are often overwhelmed by the paperwork associated with receiving medical care.
