Optum is partnering with Alameda Alliance for Health to automate claims adjudication using agentic AI, according to Becker's Payer Issues. The project will begin with claims workflows and later expand to other operational areas.

Alameda Alliance is a nonprofit health plan serving more than 410,000 Medi-Cal members in California. The insurer expects membership could fall by up to 45 percent over the next three years as federal Medicaid funding cuts take effect.

UnitedHealth Group plans to spend about $1.5 billion on AI in 2026. About one third of that spending will support software products and platforms at Optum Insight.
