UnitedHealth faces federal scrutiny into whistleblower claims

United Health

US lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are raising concerns and seeking investigations in the wake of Guardian reporting on whistleblower claims about practices within UnitedHealth Group’s nursing home partnership programs.

One US senator has announced he is launching an investigation and two US representatives are now calling on the US Department of Justice to expand its reported investigations of the nation’s largest healthcare conglomerate. Others said they are troubled by whistleblower allegations reported by the Guardian – including claims that UnitedHealth paid bonuses to nursing homes to help reduce residents’ hospital transfers and used improper sales tactics to get nursing home residents to sign up for the company’s Medicare Advantage plans.

Two Democratic members of Congress – representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Lloyd Doggett of Texas – filed a letter on Monday that urges the Department of Justice to “thoroughly review new revelations from investigative reporting and whistleblower complaints, which suggest that UnitedHealth may have engaged in illegal activities”.
