Medically reviewed by Gabriela Asturias, MD on May 23, 2025UMR (formerly United Medical Resources) isn’t a traditional insurance company; it’s a third-party administrator owned by UnitedHealthcare. That means your employer designs the benefits and UMR handles the claims. In practice, though, you still need to know which clinicians are in network, what therapy or psychiatry will cost, and how to book care quickly. This roadmap breaks the process into clear, actionable steps so you can move from symptoms to your first session with a qualified UMR therapist—no jargon, no dead ends.
