PRESCRIPTION SOLUTIONS MODERNIZES CONSUMER WEBSITE WITH NEW CONTENT AND TOOLS

Cypress, Calif. -- Aug, 26, 2009 - Prescription Solutions, a leading
pharmacy benefits management organization and a UnitedHealth Group
(NYSE: UNH) company, today announced the launch of its refreshed
consumer website, www.PrescriptionSolutions.com, featuring enhanced
functionality, updated content, and simplified navigation. The site
makes prescription drug information more accessible and provides
education customers need to make informed health care choices.

Once registered, customers can use the site to refill
prescriptions, manage their account, review their benefits and order
over-the-counter items and medical supplies. Jacqueline Kosecoff, PhD.,
chief executive officer of Prescription Solutions, said, "We have made a
commitment to bring our customers a superior online experience in order
to help them more readily access the information they need to leverage
their health care dollars and make informed medication choices."

PrescriptionSolutions.com features a "dashboard" format
unique to major PBMs which serves as a personalized home page for
registered users. On a single screen, customers can find all of their
relevant prescription and account information for simple and fast
access. From the dashboard, customers can refill and renew their
prescriptions, get account information, track order status and more. An
integrated calendar helps customers plan their prescription refills and
renewals, as well, and can be downloaded to personal calendars such as
Microsoft Outlook(r).

The new content and functionality added to the website - the
result of input from focus groups, usability studies and customer
interviews - includes a drug pricing tool that provides users with
pricing information about drugs they currently take, or those for which
they would like additional information. The real-time tool for Medicare
Part D customers compares retail vs. mail order and brand vs. generic
pricing, taking into account the Medicare Part D coverage gap.

In addition, customers can also quickly and easily access
other valuable features, including drug lookup, a pharmacy locator, plus
other educational resources from UnitedHealth Group's health and
wellness company OptumHealth, including a drug interaction calculator, a
symptom checker, a disease and conditions tool and a drug guide. An
Online Website Video Tour is available for viewing.
