UMR Credentialing Services— Self-Funded Plan Access
We handle your UMR credentialing — UnitedHealth Group's third-party administrator for self-funded employer health plans. UMR uses the UHC network, and credentialing connects you to thousands of self-funded employers.
Everything You Need to Know About UMR Enrollment
UMR is UnitedHealth Group's TPA for self-funded plans, using the UHC network. We handle credentialing to connect you to self-funded employers.
What Is UMR Credentialing?
UMR is UnitedHealth Group's third-party administrator (TPA) that manages self-funded employer health plans. UMR typically uses the UnitedHealthcare provider network, so if you're already credentialed with UHC, you may already have UMR access. If not, we handle the credentialing process to get you into the network that UMR utilizes.
How Long Does It Take?
Since UMR leverages the UHC network, credentialing timelines are similar to UHC — typically 45–90 days. If you're already UHC credentialed, UMR access may be immediate or require minimal additional steps. We assess your situation and take the fastest path.
UHC Network Leverage
The key to UMR access is the UnitedHealthcare network. UMR administers self-funded plans using UHC's contracted rates and network. We can credential you with UHC (via Onboard Pro + CAQH) which typically grants you UMR access as well — maximizing your reach to both fully-insured UHC members and UMR self-funded plan members.
Self-Funded Employer Access
UMR serves thousands of self-funded employers nationwide. These employers choose UMR to administer their health plans using the UHC network. Getting credentialed means you can serve employees from all these self-funded plans — a significant patient population that's often overlooked.
