| 2mUS officials urge UnitedHealth to expedite payments to providers
The US government has urged UnitedHealth Group to speed up payments to healthcare providers following a cyberattack on the insurer's tech unit, Change Healthcare. The hack disrupted medical claims and payments, prompting officials to ask UnitedHealth and other industry companies to take action to mitigate harm to patients and providers. The US government has also announced plans to accelerate Medicare and Medicaid payments to affected hospitals. The cyberattack, attributed to the Blackcat ransomware group, has caused disruptions in electronic pharmacy refills and insurance transactions. UnitedHealth expects to restore services by mid-March.
