UnitedHealth used HRAs, chart review to boost Medicare Advantage profits
SHARE

UnitedHealth Group, the nation’s largest health insurer, has come under scrutiny for its practices in the federal Medicare program. A recent federal report uncovered evidence of abuse, revealing that UnitedHealth profited billions from Medicare by diagnosing patients with serious chronic illnesses and then failing to provide follow-up care.

The report detailed how UnitedHealth would send clinicians to patients’ homes and review their medical records to add diagnoses for conditions like vascular disease, heart failure, and diabetes. These additional diagnoses were not aimed at improving patient health but rather at increasing payments from Medicare Advantage. In fact, the report estimated that UnitedHealth received $3.7 billion in questionable payments in just one year.

These findings directly contradict UnitedHealth’s public messaging about its Medicare business strategy, which claims to focus on early identification of conditions and keeping patients healthy. The revelations have raised concerns and could lead to further investigations and restrictions on UnitedHealth’s practices.

The implications of this report are significant, as they call into question the integrity of UnitedHealth’s approach to Medicare and could ultimately impact the company’s ability to profit from the program. As regulators and lawmakers delve deeper into these findings, it is possible that new regulations and oversight measures will be implemented to prevent similar abuses in the future.

Overall, the report serves as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in the healthcare industry. Patients rely on insurers like UnitedHealth to prioritize their health and well-being, and any actions that prioritize profits over patient care must be addressed swiftly and decisively. As the investigation continues, it is crucial that regulators take the necessary steps to ensure that Medicare funds are used appropriately and ethically for the benefit of all patients.
