Optum Remote Nursing Jobs

Optum's official careers page lists remote jobs as a distinct hiring category alongside nursing and other role types, indicating remote eligibility is available for select positions rather than being a company-wide policy. Clinical nursing roles include both fully remote functions—such as utilization review, case management, and clinical documentation—and field-based or on-site positions within Optum's clinic, home health, and hospice networks. Remote eligibility is determined at the role level.

Optum provides integrated health services across three lines: care delivery and value-based care through Optum Health, data analytics and health information technology through Optum Insight, and pharmacy benefit management and specialty pharmacy through Optum Rx. It also operates home health agencies, hospice centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and behavioral health programs.

Optum operates primarily in the United States, with Optum Health encompassing more than 2,000 clinics, approximately 370 ambulatory surgery centers, more than 700 home health agencies, and 265 hospice centers. The organization also maintains international operations, with corporate and technology functions in India, the Philippines, Ireland, and other countries, supporting a global workforce.
