UnitedHealth stock has rallied for three consecutive days since reporting first-quarter earnings and revenue early Tuesday.
UnitedHealth Group said on Thursday it had resolved an issue that had hampered processing of batches of medical claims for some customers of its technology unit, Change Healthcare. A fix has been implemented and is being monitored to ensure operability, Change operator Optum, said in a statement, before confirming the issue was resolved. A spokesperson for Optum told Reuters the incident may have affected "a small subset and customers may have already been communicated", and that the company will provide more information when it has any.
Elevance Health offered skittish investors another signal that health insurers aren’t getting hit with higher-than-expected costs, reporting results that beat Wall Street expectations. Elevance stock rose over 5% early Thursday, on track for its highest close since December 2022. The earnings may help sustain a rally that began Tuesday, when UnitedHealth released results that also came in above analysts’ projections and said healthcare expenses were running at expected rates.
