Calling this United Healthcare Customer Number

By Christian Allen

May 23, 2024

Calling this number is more for people who have already secured services with United Healthcare, as this number leads you to the customer help line for United Healthcare. When I called, I was asked first if I wanted English or Spanish. I was then asked for the reason I was calling and said that I wanted to get a quote. Finally, I was asked if I was a provider and said no.

The system took me to the hold menu, where I waited for about three minutes before I was connected with a representative. She asked me for my United Healthcare customer ID number, and I said that I didn't have one available. She then asked me why I was calling, and I said that I was interested in getting a quote.

She said that she couldn't provide that for me, but she could take me to the sales team. She then offered to have the sales team give me a call but I said that wouldn't be necessary. She then put me back on hold and began the transfer. As this was going to a different number, I decided to wait to see how long the hold time was before hanging up. The hold time was about 2 1/2 minutes, although the person there didn't give any indication as to having reached the sales department before I hung up.

Overall, I'd use this number if I was a United Healthcare customer, but I wouldn't bother otherwise. You can get to the department through this number, but it's faster to use 1-855-229-6848 if your goal is to get a quote. If you're already a customer, the speed of getting to someone makes this number effective, but it's not worth using if you don't have a customer ID.
