UnitedHealth Group Update on Change Healthcare Cyberattack - March 7, 2024
(Press Release)

 

 (Update from March 14)

“Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 experts are on the ground, collaborating diligently
with UnitedHealth and their partners to restore operations and ensure a swift
and secure resolution following the recent disruption. To date we have reviewed
and protected a large majority of infrastructure, including the server and
application space, and assisted in bringing critical services back online that
allowed for more than 9 million prescriptions to be filled. ” - Wendi Whitmore,
SVP Unit 42

 

 (Update from March 13)

UnitedHealth Group Statement on Forensic Work with Mandiant and Palo Alto
Networks

UnitedHealth Group continues to make substantial progress in mitigating the
impact to consumers and care providers of the unprecedented cyberattack on the
U.S. health system and the Change Healthcare claims and payment infrastructure.
As previously shared, we are committed to transparency through this
ongoing analysis into the recent cyber incident affecting our Change Healthcare
environment.

Since day one, we have been working closely with Mandiant and Palo Alto
Networks. Although our analysis is not complete, in our ongoing effort to share
information, we wanted to provide an interim update for the health care sector
and our community of stakeholders.

A thorough forensic analysis is well underway. Through this analysis, we have
identified the source of the intrusion and, with high confidence, have
established a safe restore point. This point allows us to move forward safely
and securely in restoring our data and systems.


We will provide a further update in the coming days on the next steps in
our analysis, recovery and restoration efforts.

 * Pharmacy Functions
   
   
   
    (Update from March 13)
   
   
   The Change Healthcare Pharmacy Network is back online, in addition to our
   electronic prescribing capability for pharmacists. As of March 13, all major
   pharmacy and payment systems are up and more than 99% of pre-incident claim
   volume is flowing. 
    
   
   While these actions represent positive momentum, our teams are still working
   to address a subset of pharmacies that are still offline, disruption for
   infusion pharmacies and challenges for some Medicaid fee-for-service
   customers.   
   
   
   (March 8) Electronic prescribing is now fully functional with claim
   submission. So far, Change Healthcare has processed almost 6 million
   prescriptions and we are back to our normal volumes.
   
   
    
   
   Additionally, the Change Healthcare Pharmacy Network is back online. These
   two developments mean all major pharmacy claims and payment systems are back
   up and functioning.
    
   
   We continue to focus on those remaining areas of pharmacy disruption,
   including specialty coupon programs and certain claims for infusion
   providers.
   
    

 * Claims Network
   
   
   
    (Update from March 13)
   
   
   Beginning the week of March 18, we will begin bringing up the claims system
   for reconnection and testing in a phased manner. We will begin engaging with
   selected customer groups around the reconnection process starting March 15.
   This is an important step toward reestablishing batch claims and remittance
   services. Because we are bringing up the system in a phased manner, we
   continue to recommend you connect to iEDI.
   
    
   
   Resumption of batch claim processing services will take three steps —
   connection, testing and resumption: 
    
   
    * Connection: Those who have already connected to Optum Enterprise
      Communications Gateway, also known as ECG, have completed the first step
      to begin testing. This is a secure Optum environment not connected to the
      impacted area.  
       
   
    * Testing: Once connectivity has been established and our clearinghouse has
      been fully cleared, we will start testing.
       
   
    * Resumption: Full service will be restored once testing has been
      successfully completed. 
   
    
   
   While we are making progress, we strongly recommend pursuing multiple paths
   and solutions, including the previously mentioned iEDI claim submission
   system and alternative clearinghouses.  
   
    
   
   There are providers unable to submit claims for whom a more complete
   restoration is the answer. We understand the impact is very uneven and we are
   aggressively working to solve the problem for those who’ve not been able to
   implement workaround solutions. We’ve made funding mechanisms available to
   help providers who are in this situation. 
   
   
   
   (March 8) We expect to begin testing and reestablish connectivity to our
   claims network and software on March 18, restoring service through that
   week. 
    
   
   We have been engaging with providers, and it’s clear some are still
   considering approaches to this problem as we work toward March 18. We
   strongly recommend providers pursue multiple paths and workarounds, including
   our iEDI claim submission system and alternative clearinghouses. If there’s
   anything we’ve learned as an industry, it’s that system redundancy is
   critical given the current environment.
    
   
   We fully acknowledge not all edits and functionality will be in place and
   some additional rework might be necessary, but we view this temporary
   solution as the best means of getting claims moving for both payers and
   providers who remain unable to receive or submit claims. 
    
   
   Our iEDI solution is live, available and represents the best workaround for
   many. Our account teams are proactively working to get claims connections
   built quickly on this secure and verified platform. As of March 8, more than
   100 payers are implementing this solution and we are working with providers
   that represent more than 30 million claims a month.
    
   
   Please connect with your account team if you want to receive support
   regarding moving to Optum’s iEDI claims connections.

 * Payment
   
   
   
    (Update from March 13)
   
   
   We expect Change Healthcare’s electronic payment functionality will be
   restored beginning March 15. Once the platform is ready, we anticipate we
   will have effectively restored 100% of the pre-incident electronic payments
   volume.
   
    
   
   Payers who processed and disbursed payments to providers via the Change
   platform will be able to do so again, including using Automated Clearing
   House (ACH) and virtual credit cards (VCC) to transfer funds. As a next step,
   we will begin communicating with individual payers to ensure the connection
   processes are understood and they are ready to activate payments. 
   
   
   (March 8) We expect our electronic payment functionality will be available
   for connection beginning March 15, which marks another critical milestone in
   our efforts to return to normal operations. 
    
   
   (March 1) To support providers, Optum launched a Temporary Funding Assistance
   Program to help bridge the gap in short-term cash flow needs for providers
   who received payments from payers that were processed by Change Healthcare.
    
   
   UnitedHealthcare will provide further funding solutions for its provider
   partners. This applies to medical, dental and vision providers and will
   involve advancing funds each week representing the difference between their
   historical payment levels and the payment levels post-attack. Advances will
   not need to be repaid until claims flows have fully resumed. Providers must
   complete a one-time registration to access funding.
    
   
   We urge all payers to do the same, as this is the fastest, most efficient way
   to address provider short-term cash flow needs.
    
   
   Beyond UnitedHealthcare’s temporary provider funding relief, Optum is
   expanding its program. The funding program now includes providers who have
   exhausted all available connection options and who work with a payer that has
   opted not to advance funds while Change Healthcare systems remain down.
    
   
   This expansion is a funding mechanism of last resort, especially for small
   and regional providers, and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. An
   Optum Pay account is required to complete registration and to receive funds
   and repay funds.
    
   
   For those who receive funding support, there are no fees, interest or other
   associated costs with the assistance. For repayment, providers will receive
   an invoice once standard payment operations resume and will have 30 days to
   return the funds. These terms now apply to both the original and expanded
   temporary funding programs.
    
   
   To determine eligibility and funding amount, please register for the program
   at the website: www.optum.com/temporaryfunding .

 * Relief Programs
   
   
   
    (Update from March 13)
   
   
   There are a number of funding relief mechanisms in place to support providers
   as they care for their patients and run their practices. These programs are
   designed to help providers in need. 
   
    
   
   All the necessary resources are in place to support funding assistance
   through the eventual system recovery and normalization of claims flow. To
   determine eligibility and funding amount, please register for the program at
   the website: www.optum.com/temporaryfunding . 
   
    
   
   Our temporary funding assistance program is designed to support the
   following: 
    
   
    * Providers who receive payments from payers that are processed by Change
      Healthcare.  
       
   
    * UnitedHealthcare medical, dental and vision providers.  
       
   
    * Providers who have exhausted all available connection options — or are in
      the process of implementing workaround solutions — and who work with other
      payers who have opted not to advance funds while the Change systems are
      down.   
   
    
   
   For providers for whom we have visibility into pre-disruption weekly claims
   average or payment, we’re preloading funds into these providers’ respective
   Optum Pay accounts if we see a gap in the post-disruption weekly average.
   Providers only need to open their account and choose to accept the available
   funds. This is being managed on a week-by-week basis until services are
   restored.  
   
    
   
   For the providers for whom we don’t have full visibility into weekly claims
   average or payment, please submit an inquiry form to give us a better sense
   of your needs. We’ll review your submission on a case-by-case basis.
   
    
   
   For all providers receiving funding support, there are no fees. No interest.
   No additional or associated costs. Once standard operations resume, providers
   will receive an invoice and will have 30 days to return the funds. 

 * Additional Actions to Support Providers and Consumers
   
   
   
   (March 8) For Medicare Advantage plans, including Dual Special Needs Plans,
   we are temporarily suspending prior authorizations for most outpatient
   services except Durable Medical Equipment, cosmetic procedures and Part B
   step therapies.
    
   
   We are temporarily suspending utilization review for MA inpatient admissions.
    
   
   For Medicare Part D pharmacy benefits, we are temporarily suspending drug
   formulary exception review processes. These actions will remain in place
   until March 31. We will work with state Medicaid agencies on any actions they
   wish to implement.
    
   
   For pharmacy, the Optum Rx PBM notified network pharmacy partners and
   pharmacy associations that we would reimburse all appropriate pharmacy claims
   filled with the good faith understanding that a medication would be covered.

 * Technology
   
   
   
    (Update from March 13)
   
   
   We continue to work aggressively on the restoration of our systems and
   services. As we bring up the claims network next week, many of you will want
   and need to see a third-party attestation. Mandiant, Palo Alto and Bishop Fox
   are some of those organizations involved in scanning, securing and
   pen-testing the new setups. We are striving, and will continue to strive, to
   make available the third-party assurances when feasible.
   
    
   
   When the full Change system comes back online, we will have taken every
   precaution and safety measure and implemented several rounds of security
   protocols, both internally and with our third-party partners, to ensure
   complete confidence in the platform. Our Optum, UnitedHealthcare and
   UnitedHealth Group systems remain safe and were not affected by this issue.
   We regularly scan those environments and continue to validate they were not
   impacted. Anything currently functioning means we have full confidence in it.
   
    
   
   (March 8) We can address inquiries related to the following area:
   
   
   Attestations: Our telemetry and controls demonstrated that our Optum,
   UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealth Group systems are safe and are not affected
   by this issue. We regularly scan those environments and continue to validate
   that they were not impacted. If we had any reservation about those other
   systems, we would have ceased services immediately. Therefore, anything that
   is currently functioning means that we have full confidence in it. The
   impacted Change Healthcare environment was, and remains, firewalled away from
   the rest of the company. Mandiant, Palo Alto Networks or other partners will
   provide an attestation at an appropriate time. 
    
   
   Your safety remains our top priority and we continue to work around the clock
   to achieve full and safe restoration.




FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 * What happened?
   
   
   
   On Feb. 21, 2024, we discovered a threat actor gained access to one of our
   Change Healthcare environments. Once we became aware of the outside threat,
   in the interest of protecting our partners and patients, we took immediate
   action to disconnect Change Healthcare’s systems to prevent further impact.
   Our security team, along with law enforcement and independent experts, began
   working to address the matter. At this time, we believe the cybersecurity
   issue is specific to Change Healthcare.
   
   
   
   UnitedHealth Group continues to make substantial progress in mitigating the
   impact to consumers and care providers of the unprecedented cyberattack on
   the U.S. health system and the Change Healthcare claims and payment
   infrastructure. Our focus has been on ensuring access to care and medications
   by addressing challenges to pharmacy, medical claims and payment systems
   targeted by the attack.
    
   
   “We are committed to providing relief for people affected by this malicious
   attack on the U.S. health system,” said Andrew Witty, CEO of UnitedHealth
   Group. “All of us at UnitedHealth Group feel a deep sense of responsibility
   for recovery and are working tirelessly to ensure that providers can care for
   their patients and run their practices, and that patients can get their
   medications. We’re determined to make this right as fast as possible.”
    
   
   Based on our ongoing investigation, there is no indication that any other
   UnitedHealth Group systems have been affected by this attack.
   

 * When will systems be restored?
   
   
   
   We are working aggressively on the restoration of our systems and services.
   Assuming we continue at our current rate of progress, we expect our key
   system functionality to be restored and available on the following timelines:
    
   
    * Pharmacy services: Electronic prescribing is now fully functional with
      claim submission and payment transmission also available. We have taken
      action to make sure patients can access their medicines in the meantime,
      including Optum Rx pharmacies sending members their medications based on
      the date needed. 
      
      
    * Payments platform: Electronic payment functionality will be available for
      connection beginning March 15.
      
      
    * Medical claims: We expect to begin testing and reestablish connectivity in
      a phased manner to our claims network and software beginning the week of 
      March 18.
       
   
   While we work to restore these systems, we strongly recommend our provider
   and payer clients use the applicable workarounds we have established — in
   particular, using our new iEDI claim submission system in the interest of
   system redundancy given the current environment.

 * Is patient health information compromised?
   
   
   
   Our privacy office and security information teams are actively engaged and
   working to understand the impact to members, patients and customers. 

 * How confident are you in your current operational systems?
   
   
   
   We have a high level of confidence Optum, UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealth
   Group systems have not been affected by this issue. We see no evidence of
   compromise beyond the scope of the Change Healthcare applications.
    
   
   Two great examples are InterQual Cloud and Enterprise Imaging services. Both
   remain operational and are available to customers and partners.
    
   
   We will continue to be proactive and aggressive with all our systems, and if
   we suspect any issue with the system, we will immediately take action and
   disconnect. Anything available and up and running today has been deemed clean
   and appropriate for us to continue to operate.
   
    
   We have no suspicions about any of the production systems available to you.
   
    
   
   As we remediate, the most impacted partners are those who have disconnected
   from our systems and/or did not have business continuity plans sufficient to
   execute workarounds. We are actively engaging with those customers to
   understand how we can help.

 * How are you addressing workarounds for customers and partners?
   
   
   
   While we are focused on addressing this cybersecurity issue, we are committed
   to ensuring our clients and patients have access to the care and solutions
   they need. We appreciate the partnership and hard work of all relevant
   stakeholders to ensure providers and pharmacists have effective workarounds
   to serve their patients as systems are restored to normal. The workarounds
   include enacting manual processes to submit information, checking
   eligibility, looking at claim status to make claims, clearing prior
   authorizations and filling prescriptions.
    
   
   We are directing stakeholders to appropriate, operational portals that will
   enable continuity of care.

 * What areas of the health system does Change Healthcare support?
   
   
   
   Change Healthcare works across the health system to make clinical,
   administrative and financial processes simpler and more efficient for payers,
   providers and consumers. Key areas of support include pharmacy claims
   transactions, provider claims processing, patient access and financial
   clearance, provider payments, and authorizations and medical necessity
   reviews. We have been working with clients, providers and pharmacies to enact
   manual processes for these activities and will continue to provide updates.

 * What actions have you taken to ensure no further impact?
   
   
   
   In the interest of protecting our partners and patients, we took immediate
   action to disconnect Change Healthcare’s systems to prevent further impact.
   This was done so our customers and partners do not need to take action. We
   have a high level of confidence Optum, UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealth
   Group systems have not been affected by this issue. We believe all
   operational systems are safe for continued use.
   
    
   
   Our security team is working with leading cybersecurity firms – including
   Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks – as well as external resources to
   investigate the issue, while also working to protect our systems. Further,
   Microsoft and Amazon Web Service are engaged with us on additional scanning
   of our cloud environment. We will continue to be proactive and aggressive
   with all our systems, and if we suspect any issue with the system, we will
   immediately take action and disconnect. 
    
   
   As of right now, we see no evidence of lateral movement beyond the Change
   Healthcare environment. There is no evidence of cross-contamination or that
   this has moved beyond those boundaries.

 * Has the company been in touch with law enforcement?
   
   
   
   Yes. At this time, we are doing everything possible in the interest of
   protecting our partners and patients. We have been transparent with law
   enforcement, and we will continue to coordinate with our law enforcement
   partners. Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) were shared with them as part of
   our investigation on Sunday, Feb. 25.
    
   
   This incident serves as yet another reminder of the interconnectedness of our
   health care ecosystem and of the urgency of strengthening cybersecurity
   resiliency across the industry.
