MINNETONKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UnitedHealthcare ranked highest in employer satisfaction among the nation’s self-insured commercial health plans, according to J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Employer Health Insurance Plan StudySM.

The study was released June 23 and analyzed four national commercial health plans in the self-insured segment and fully insured segment, and was based on feedback from more than 1,200 employers nationwide.

UnitedHealthcare ranked highest in all five individual factors measured in the self-insured segment of the study: cost and cost management; account servicing; employee plan service experience; product offering and benefit designs; and problem resolution.

“Every employer and community we serve has unique health care needs, and the combination of our local market focus with our national resources ensures we are able to effectively enhance the health and well being of the more than 16 million consumers who are enrolled in self-insured plans with UnitedHealthcare. We are grateful to earn this recognition from the customers we serve,” said Jeff Alter, CEO, UnitedHealthcare’s Employer & Individual business.

UnitedHealthcare continues to invest in customer service enhancements and innovative new programs that help consumers live healthier lives.
