UnitedHealth is under investigation by the Department of Justice over antitrust concerns, according to reporting by the Examiner News and the Wall Street Journal.
Over the past few weeks, investigators have been inquiring about UnitedHealth’s effect on competition in sectors where the company operates, according to the reports, which cite sources familiar with the matter.
Those aren’t few. UnitedHealth touches nearly every corner of the healthcare industry, running the largest private health insurer in the U.S., a sizable physician network, a major billing and data analytics business and one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers in the country.
