UnitedHealth Group Inc.’s stock has faced a sharp decline due to a Department of Justice investigation into its Medicare billing practices. Allegations of filing exaggerated charges and incentivizing questionable diagnoses have caused significant investor anxiety. Additionally, scrutiny over the company’s patient payment approval system, highlighted by a billing error incident criticized by investor Bill Ackman, has intensified the situation. Despite these controversies and the ongoing legal probe, which have led to increased public and regulatory attention, analysts still maintain a strong buy consensus on the stock.
