UNITEDHEALTH IN THE NHS: In 2014, America’s largest health insurer UnitedHealth saw their President of global expansion, Simon Stevens, installed as Chief Executive of the NHS in England.

UnitedHealth is now embedding its subsidiary company OPTUM as an integral part of NHS GP care nationwide, including in DORSET, through its financial control systems, referral management systems and IT systems.

UnitedHealth has a track record of being fined for fraud by the US government, but these penalties do not ever seem to improve its conduct. UnitedHealth is currently being sued by the US Government in a case ongoing since 2017.

OPTUM is active in Ealing, and now decides which Ealing patients referred to hospital by Ealing GPs will have their treatments funded.
