THE COMPANY: UnitedHealth is a company specializing in health insurance and health care services.

THE ALLEGED WRONGDOING: On February 21, 2025, The Wall Street Journal and other news agencies reported that the DOJ was involved in a civil fraud investigation concerning UnitedHealth's practices related to patient diagnoses forced higher payments from the government's Medicare Advantage program. Currently more than half of Medicare recipients get their benefits through Medicare Advantage.

Insurers receive reimbursement for treatment based on the diagnostic codes presented to the Medicare Advantage program. Typically, insurers get paid more for patients with more severe illnesses. In recent years, the Biden administration attempted to constrain payments to Medicare Advantage plans, which lawmakers, watchdogs, and whistleblowers have accused of wasting tax dollars. Reporting suggests that the current probe emerged out of concerns about UnitedHealth's acquisitions of healthcare providers and data companies.

UnitedHealth stock is down approximately 9% in the wake of this news.
