NCPA Sues UnitedHealth and Subsidiaries for Massive Cyber Attack

Population Health Learning Network

The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) announced late July 2024 that it, along with dozens of providers from numerous states, had filed a class action lawsuit against UnitedHealth Group and its subsidiaries, Change Healthcare and Optum, due to a ransomware attack.

The suit alleges that in February 2024, Change Healthcare, which handles medical billing for a large portion of the health care industry, was hit with a massive ransomware attack that brought payment and claims processing to a screeching halt. Personal information for millions of people was compromised, including social security numbers, passport information, health information, and more.
