Luigi Mangione, 26, faces three murder charges, including one for terrorism, related to the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.
Mangione pleaded not guilty to state murder charges that encompass an act of terrorism, while facing potential life in prison or even death penalties.
The killing of Thompson has sparked renewed scrutiny over the U.S. healthcare system, highlighting the extreme state of vulnerability patients face due to corporate decisions.
Following Thompson's death, some view Mangione as a folk hero, reflecting growing resentment against the healthcare insurer UnitedHealthcare, which is the largest in the US.
