Bondi’s DOJ Launches Fraud Investigation of UnitedHealth, Same Insurer Whose CEO Was Assassinated |

Bondi’s DOJ Launches Fraud Investigation of UnitedHealth, Same Insurer Whose CEO Was Assassinated |

The Justice Department, under the leadership of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, is currently conducting an investigation into the Medicare billing practices of UnitedHealth Group. This move comes in the wake of the tragic assassination of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a subsidiary of the company.

The investigation is focusing on potential civil fraud related to how UnitedHealth Group records diagnoses that result in additional payments from Medicare Advantage plans. Specifically, the attorneys are looking into possible fraudulent practices at physician groups owned by UnitedHealth Group. Insurers participating in the Medicare Advantage system receive payments to manage benefits for enrollees, with payments increasing based on the discovery of certain diagnoses. This creates an incentive for insurers to diagnose more ailments in order to receive higher payouts.

Previous reports from The Wall Street Journal have highlighted Medicare payments made to UnitedHealth Group for “questionable diagnoses.” The Justice Department has been interviewing medical providers mentioned in these investigations as part of their probe. In addition to the civil fraud investigation, the Justice Department is also pursuing an antitrust probe against UnitedHealth Group and has filed to block the company’s potential acquisition of home healthcare company Amedisys.

UnitedHealth Group has refuted the claims made in the reports, stating that they consistently comply with government reviews of their Medicare Advantage plans. The company accused The Wall Street Journal of spreading misinformation and defended their practices, emphasizing their commitment to patient health and well-being.

Despite UnitedHealth Group’s denials, The Wall Street Journal stands by its reporting. The investigation into UnitedHealth Group comes following the assassination of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. The suspected assassin, Luigi Mangione, was arrested in Pennsylvania after allegedly carrying out the killing in New York City. Mangione, an Ivy League graduate and scion of a wealthy family, espoused anti-capitalist beliefs reminiscent of the Unabomber in a manifesto he wrote.
