AARP and UnitedHealthcare: Understanding the Connection

No, AARP (formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons) does not own UnitedHealthcare. However, they have a business relationship and partnership that allows UnitedHealthcare to offer certain health insurance plans specifically endorsed by AARP. These health insurance plans are marketed as the "AARP Medicare Plans" and include Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance plans (Medigap), and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans (Part D).

UnitedHealthcare works with AARP to offer these insurance products to AARP members and other eligible individuals. AARP endorses these plans based on their value and benefits, but AARP itself does not own or operate an insurance company.

It's important to note that while AARP endorses these plans, individuals are not required to be AARP members to enroll in UnitedHealthcare's AARP-endorsed Medicare plans. Eligibility and plan availability may vary by location and other factors, so it's advisable for individuals to research and compare their Medicare options carefully when considering insurance coverage.

AARP and UnitedHealthcare have a partnership in which AARP endorses certain UnitedHealthcare products and services. This means that AARP has reviewed and approved the products and services, and believes that they meet the high standards of its members.

AARP members can receive discounts on some UnitedHealthcare products and services. AARP also offers its members educational materials and resources on health insurance and other topics related to aging.

The partnership between AARP and UnitedHealthcare is beneficial for both organizations. AARP is able to provide its members with access to high-quality health insurance products and services, and UnitedHealthcare is able to reach a large and growing population of potential customers.
