UnitedHealth Faces Federal Scrutiny Over Whistleblower Claims
Following Guardian reporting on whistleblower claims, US lawmakers from both parties are expressing serious concerns regarding UnitedHealth Group’s nursing home programs. Investigations are underway or being called for, targeting allegations of improper sales tactics, bonuses for reduced hospital transfers, and potentially illegal activities to maximize Medicare Advantage profits. These actions stem from sworn declarations alleging UnitedHealth delayed or denied necessary care and aggressively pushed Do Not Resuscitate orders. UnitedHealth vehemently denies all allegations and has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Guardian.
