The U.S. federal government has ramped up scrutiny on UnitedHealth Group, launching multiple investigations over the past year. The Department of Justice began an antitrust investigation last February and later moved to block UnitedHealth's acquisition of Amedisys. Recent probes include a senator's inquiry into Medicare Advantage billing practices and a congressman's investigation into care quality at UnitedHealth clinics. Senator Chuck Grassley is examining potential manipulations in billing rules, while Representative Pat Ryan's inquiry addresses citizen complaints regarding accessibility and care at Optum clinics in New York.
"My office has been hearing alarming complaints about the quality of care being provided by UnitedHealth's Optum clinics, especially concerning accessibility and accurate billing practices."
"Senator Chuck Grassley has initiated an inquiry into UnitedHealth's Medicare Advantage billing practices, following suggestions of manipulated billing rules for profit as highlighted by The Wall Street Journal."
