MassHealth sues UnitedHealthcare for $100M over senior care misclassifications
MassHealth Attorney General Andrea Campbell filed a Suffolk Superior Court lawsuit accusing UnitedHealthcare of knowingly misclassifying health assessments for seniors in the Senior Care Options plan to inflate payments, alleging at least $100 million in improper charges; UnitedHealthcare denies the claims, saying the suit misrepresents the program, while MassHealth seeks to protect taxpayer funds amid budget pressures and potential federal funding cuts.
