"UnitedHealth Group has laid off dozens of remote employees in healthcare technology and services marketing from its Optum unit, who were given two weeks notice in November, sources told Health Payer Specialist. Fast Company has reached out to UnitedHealth for confirmation. Those employees were based in "multiple states on the East coast and in the Midwest," according to that report, and are among UnitedHealth's roughly 400,000 employees across the U.S. (It is the parent company of UnitedHealthcare, the nation's largest healthcare insurer.)"
"On Friday, the company released the first round of results of an independent audit of its business, saying it was committed "to setting a new standard of transparency for the health care marketplace," and vowing to make improvements through "23 action plans"-with 65% to be completed by the end of 2025, and all 100% by the end of the first quarter of next year in March 2026. Those include: enhancing policy governance and maintenance, strengthening processes for ongoing monitoring and tracking progress of corrective actions,"
