In 2009, according toOpenSecrets, people affiliated with UnitedHealth Group gave $4.77 million to political candidates and groups.[113] TheAffordable Care Act was being discussed in Congress at the time and was subsequently passed in the first quarter of 2010. In 2010 UnitedHealth Group hired nine differentlobbying firms to work on its behalf.[114] In addition, its corporatepolitical action committee (PAC), called United for Health, spent an additional $1 million on lobbying activities.[115] UnitedHealth Group subsequently spent $4.11 million to $4.75 million from 2011 to 2021.[113]
The Lewin Group is a policy research and consulting firm that provides an economic analysis of health care and human services issues and policies.[116] The organization has existed for about 40 years and has maintained a nonpartisan reputation through the many ownership changes that have occurred over that time.[116] The Lewin Group was purchased in 2007 by Ingenix, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, but alleges editorial and analytical "independence" from UnitedHealth Group, its parent company.[116] The Lewin Group discloses its ownership in its reports and on its website. While the Lewin Group does not advocate for or against any legislation, bothDemocratic andRepublican politicians frequently cite the firm's studies to argue for and against variousU.S. healthcare reform proposals.[117] For example, Democratic SenatorRon Wyden uses Lewin Group estimates to cite the feasibility of hisHealthy Americans Act.[118] Former U.S. RepresentativeEric Cantor, the former House RepublicanWhip, has referred to the organization as "the nonpartisan Lewin Group" in arguing against government-funded health insurance proposals.[citation needed]
Several Lewin studies have been used to argue both for and against the inclusion of apublic option in national health reform. Lewin clients who often cite its findings includeThe Commonwealth Fund, which, in 2009, held up a Lewin study it commissioned[119] to advocate for a public plan. The report showed that legislative proposals would achieve nearly universal coverage and "estimated that a public plan could offer small businesses insurance that is at least 9 percent cheaper than current small-business policies."[120]
However, the Lewin Group has acknowledged that clients sometimes choose to keep the results of studies they have commissioned private. Indeed, Lewin Group Vice President John Sheils toldThe Washington Post that "sometimes studies come out that don't show exactly what the client wants to see. And in those instances, they have [the] option to bury the study."[121]

In 2006, theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began investigating the conduct of UnitedHealth Group's management and directors, forbackdating of stock options. Investigations were also started by theInternal Revenue Service and prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, who subpoenaed documents from the company. The investigations came to light after a series of probing stories in theWall Street Journal in May 2006, discussing the apparent backdating of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth ofstock options by UHC management. The backdating apparently occurred with the knowledge and approval of the directors, according to theJournal. Major shareholders have filed lawsuits accusing formerNew Jersey governorThomas Kean and UHC's other directors of failing in their fiduciary duty.[122] On October 15, 2006, CEOWilliam W. McGuire was forced to resign, and relinquish hundreds of millions of dollars in stock options.[123][124][125]
On December 6, 2007, the SEC announced a settlement under which McGuire was to repay $468 million, including a $7 million civil penalty, as a partial settlement of the backdating prosecution. He was also barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for ten years.[126][127][128] This was the first time in which the little-used "clawback" provision under theSarbanes-Oxley Act was used against an individual by the SEC. The SEC continued its investigations even after it in 2008 settled legal actions against both UnitedHealth Group itself and its former general counsel.[129][needs update]
In June 2006, theAmerican Chiropractic Association filed a national class-action lawsuit against the American Chiropractic Network (ACN), which is owned by UnitedHealth Group and administerschiropractic benefits, and against UnitedHealth Group itself, for alleged practices in violation of the federalRacketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).[130] The Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration determined that UnitedHealth Group violated state insurance laws, so levied $536,000 in fines and ordered more than 50,000 cases re-opened; any improperly denied claims must have been reimbursed with interest for chiropractors and patients.[131]
In February 2008, New York State Attorney GeneralAndrew Cuomo announced an industry-wide investigation into a scheme by health insurers to defraud consumers by manipulating reasonable and customary rates. The announcement included a statement that Cuomo intended "to file suit against Ingenix, Inc., its parent UnitedHealth Group, and three additional subsidiaries." Cuomo asserted that his investigation found that rates found in a database of health care charges maintained by Ingenix were lower than what he determined was the actual cost of certain medical expenses. Cuomo said this inappropriately allowed health insurance companies to deny a portion of provider claims, thereby pushing costs down to members.[132]
On January 13, 2009, Ingenix announced an agreement with the New York State attorney settling the probe into the independence of the health pricing database. Under the settlement, UnitedHealth Group and Ingenix would pay $50 million to finance a new, non-profit entity that would develop a new healthcare pricing database. Ingenix would discontinue its medical pricing databases when the new entity makes its product available. The company acknowledged the appearance of a conflict of interest but admitted no wrongdoing.[133]
On January 15, 2009, UnitedHealth Group announced a $350 million settlement of three class action lawsuits filed in Federal court by theAmerican Medical Association, UnitedHealth Group members, healthcare providers, and state medical societies for not paying out-of-network benefits. This settlement came two days after a similar settlement with Cuomo.[134][135]
On October 27, 2009, Cuomo announced the creation ofFAIR Health, an independent, non-profit organization that would develop a nationwide database for consumer reimbursement, as well as a website where consumers would be able to compare prices before choosing doctors. To fund FAIR Health, the Attorney General's office secured nearly $100 million from insurers such asAetna, UnitedHealth Group, andAnthem Inc.[136]
In 2008, theCalifornia Department of Insurance took action against UnitedHealthcare's subsidiaryPacifiCare Health Systems, acquired in 2005, ultimately fining UnitedHealthcare around $173 million for an estimated over 900,000 violations of the Unfair Insurance Practices Act; by 2019, the case was still being disputed in court, with the possibility of affirming $91 million in penalties.[137][needs update]
Awhistleblower lawsuit filed in 2011 charged UnitedHealth Group's data analytics division with assisting in defraudingMedicare by boosting risk adjustment scores fromMedicare Advantage companies. The suit alleged that UnitedHealth Group subsidiary Ingenix (now OptumInsight) "defrauded the United States of hundreds of millions – and likely billions – of dollars." Former UnitedHealth executive Benjamin Poehling brought the suit under theFalse Claims Act. The government said it would proceed on claims against two healthcare companies, UnitedHealth and its Texas subsidiary WellMed Medical Management. In February 2017, a federal judge unsealed the suit after theDepartment of Justice announced it would join the case.[138][139][needs update]
In 2017, theCenters for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) fined UnitedHealthcare $2.5 million after discovering issues inMedicare Part D leading to delays or denials in a 2016 audit.[140]
In 2018, theNew Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance fined UnitedHealthcare $2.5 million due to various compliance issues; this was the largest fine against a licensee in nine years.[141]
On April 29, 2019, JudgeRobert N. Scola Jr. of theUnited States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, acancer survivor,recused himself from a case against UnitedHealthcare, stating that the company's denial of treatment was "immoral and barbaric", and that his opinions regarding the company would prevent him from "deciding this case fairly and impartially."[142][143]
As reported by openminds.com:
On September 13, 2019, three addiction and mental health treatment centers sued United Behavioral Health (UBH), UnitedHealthcare's mental health subsidiary. The centers alleged that UBH wrongfully denied $5 million in behavioral health treatment claims for self-insured and fully insured employer health plans for residential and outpatient treatment from 2011 to 2017. The case involves claims for 157 employer group health plan members, including children.[144]
In 2019, UnitedHealthcare paid a $1 million penalty to settle Pennsylvania regulators' allegations that the company violated state and federal laws when paying medical claims, particularly for patients seeking treatment for autism and substance use disorders. The regulators also compelled the company to pay restitution for wrongly denied or delayed claims and to spend $800,000 on an outreach campaign to notify consumers of their mental health and substance use disorder benefits.[145]
In late 2021, Tennessee-based physician networkTeamHealth, a subsidiary of the private equity companyBlackstone Inc., sued UnitedHealthcare in the 8th District Court ofClark County, Nevada, alleging the insurer underpaid claims to three of TeamHealth's Nevada-based affiliates. In November 2021, the jury unanimously found United guilty of "oppression, fraud, and malice" in its conduct and awarded TeamHealth $2.65 million in compensatory damages. In December, the jury reconvened to determine punitive damages and awarded TeamHealth $60 million. TeamHealth plans to pursue similar legal action against United and other insurers inNew Jersey,Pennsylvania,New York,Florida,Oklahoma, andTexas.[146][147]
An October 2021New York Times report identified UnitedHealth in a list ofMedicare insurers accused of over-billing. According to the Inspector General, awhistleblower came forward, so the U.S. government went after UnitedHealth for over-billing Medicare. Executives at UnitedHealth Group told workers to mine old medical records for more illnesses, to identify diagnoses of serious diseases that might have never existed, inflating bills paid by the federal government's Medicare Advantage program.[148]
A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that in 2021,Medicare Advantage programs provided insurers with double thegross margin of insurance for individuals, groups, or Medicaid Managed Care.[149][150]
In July 2024, theWall Street Journal concluded that UnitedHealth was the worst offender among private insurers who made dubious diagnoses in their clients in order to trigger large payments from the government'sMedicare Advantage program. The patients often did not receive any treatment for those insurer-added diagnoses. The report, based on Medicare data obtained from the federal government under a research agreement, calculated that diagnoses added by UnitedHealth for diseases patients had never been treated for had yielded $8.7 billion in payments to the company in 2021 – over half of its net income of $17 billion for that year.[151] In July 2025, the Wall Street Journal reported that DOJ officials were interviewing former UnitedHealth employees in connection with the investigation,[152] and later that month, UnitedHealth confirmed that it was under criminal and civil federal investigation for its Medicare practices.[153]
In February 2022, theUnited States Department of Justice sued to stop UnitedHealth Group's $8 billion acquisition ofChange Healthcare, arguing that the deal would give UnitedHealth access to its competitors' data and ultimately push up healthcare costs. The Justice Department said that UnitedHealth knew that access to claims would give it a view into rival health plans atHumana,Anthem Inc,CVS Health,Aetna, andCigna.[154] A U.S. judge rejected the department's bid in September. Following the completion of the acquisition in October 2022, the parties agreed that the appeal would be voluntarily dismissed, with no reasons provided by the Justice Department for dropping the appeal.[155]
In May 2025,The Guardian published an investigative report which uncovered a systemic effort by UnitedHealth to secretly pay nursing homes bonuses to deny hospital transfers for nursing home residents who neededimmediate hospital care.[156] Other tactics uncovered byThe Guardian include UnitedHealth managers pressuring nurse practitioners to persuade members to sign ontoDo not resuscitate agreements and payments forleaking confidential patient data to UnitedHealth sales teams.[157] In June, UnitedHealth suedThe Guardian for defamation over the findings of their article.[158]
In 2025, aNew York Times investigation revealed that UnitedHealth Group, with the help of the law firm Clare Locke, had made legal threats against journalists, social media users and healthcare professionals who criticized their policies and practices. UnitedHealth also made take-down requests to social media companies hosting content critical of them.[158]
Foundations affiliated with UnitedHealth Group include the UnitedHealth Foundation (UHF) and the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF), both of which were established in 1999.[159]
UHF pledged $100 million over ten years to fund scholarships and workforce development programs focused on increasing ethnic and racial diversity within the health care industry.[160] UHF's investment will support 10,000 physicians from underrepresented communities: 5,000 students with a primary care focus and 5,000 physicians who want to advance careers in mental health, nursing, midwifery and medicine.[161] The work of this fund is part of a broader initiative in which UnitedHealth Group has teamed up with nine organizations to provide scholarships to more than 3,000 students through the Diverse Scholars Initiative.[161]
UHCCF administers grants to help pay for medical costs for families with coverage gaps. According to UHCCF, the foundation raises money for medical grants by selling gift items such as backpacks, books, cards, and games, some of which are created by children.[162]
