I do not work for UHG or Optum, but I have a relationship with them so I need to be careful here.
Some over simplifications but true statements:
Optum (which is on the Fortune 10 list) was a spinoff of UHG literally because legally UHG couldn't make as much money as they were capable of. Consequently, Optum was created and is a powerhouse.
Everything else she mentioned is correct. Well over 100+ subsidiaries and Change Healthcare is indeed one of them and their role is to process claims and prescriptions. Their cyber event earlier this year did indeed have an enormous impact on doctors as well as patients who couldn't get their prescriptions in a timely manner.
The claims denial statements are 100% true.
The only thing I have yet to confirm is that UGH/Optum was indeed buying up healthcare entities that were going out of business due to Change Healthcare being down due to their cyber event/ransomware attack.
But again, everything else that woman shared is 100% accurate.
