On Feb. 21, 2024, Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group (UHG) and one of the largest platforms for managing health insurance billing and payments in the United States, experienced a large-scale cyberattack. This attack forced the company to shut down over 100 services across its system for multiple weeks, affecting millions of health care providers and patients across the country.
“We continue to make significant progress in restoring the services impacted by this cyberattack. We know this has been an enormous challenge for health care providers and we encourage any in need to contact us.”
– Andrew Witty, CEO of UHG
