UnitedHealth employs 4,500 people in Missouri. It is unclear how much space the insurer will continue to lease at the site.

UnitedHealth Group has offloaded office space in other states recently. In 2023, the company said it would move its Minnetonka, Minn.-headquarters, to an existing campus occupied by Optum in nearby Eden Prairie, reflecting the need for less office space as more employees work remotely. UnitedHealthcare is still based in Minnetonka.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
