UnitedHealth Group responds to misinformation

UnitedHealth (UNH) Group issued the following update: “Claims approval rates: UnitedHealthcare approves and pays about 90% of medical claims upon submission. Importantly, of those that require further review, around one-half of one percent are due to medical or clinical reasons. Highly inaccurate and grossly misleading information has been circulated about our company’s treatment of insurance claims. Whether the killer and his parents were UnitedHealthcare members: Regarding the murder of Brian Thompson, we are re-affirming that the killer and his parents were not UnitedHealthcare members. We grieve the passing of our dear friend and colleague and continue to work closely with law enforcement and their investigation of this horrific crime.”
