A cyberattack on Change Healthcare compromised the protected health information of at least 100 million individuals, marking it as the largest breach at a HIPAA-regulated entity. The ransomware attack, which occurred on February 21, disrupted claims payments for numerous healthcare providers. UnitedHealth Group, which acquired Change for $13 billion, confirmed it paid a $22 million ransom in bitcoin to safeguard patient data.
UnitedHealth Group's stock fell nearly 8% after its earnings report revealed a profit of $6.06 billion for Q3 2024, up from $5.8 billion a year prior, but a significant drop in year-to-date profits. Despite beating revenue expectations with $100.8 billion, the company faces ongoing challenges in Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, with headwinds expected to persist into 2025. Membership growth in commercial offerings and strong performance from Optum units contributed to overall revenue increases, but the outlook remains cautious amid regulatory pressures and market disruptions.
UnitedHealth Group's Q3 earnings reflect the ongoing impact of the Change ransomware attack, with operational earnings of $8.7 billion, including $0.3 billion in cyberattack effects. The adjusted earnings outlook remains stable despite an estimated $0.75 per share in business disruption impacts. The medical cost ratio rose to 85.2%, influenced by Medicare funding cuts and increased specialty medication prescriptions.
UnitedHealth Group's 2025 profit forecast fell short of Wall Street expectations, predicting a maximum of $30 per share, below the $31.18 estimate. The company cited pressures from government-supported health insurance, rising medical costs, and payment cuts for Medicare and Medicaid plans. Shares dropped 8%, impacting rivals like Humana and CVS Health, as the insurer also adjusted its 2024 profit forecast downward due to a cyberattack's financial repercussions.
