The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and other providers have filed a class action lawsuit against UnitedHealth Group (UHG) for losses from the Change Healthcare cyberattack. They argue that UHG did not take adequate precautions against the attack, causing financial losses for providers. Change Healthcare, acquired by UHG, processes 15 billion transactions annually and was hacked by Blackcat in February. The attack led to network outages that affected millions of patients and providers. Providers are struggling to verify patient eligibility and file claims, and small practices have not received reimbursement. The plaintiffs are seeking relief and damages from UHG.
