Health Care Inc. newsletter discusses UnitedHealthcare’s new prior authorization rules for Medicare Advantage members needing therapy and the financial implications. The newsletter also covers a conservative judge ruling the whistleblower provisions of the False Claims Act unconstitutional, and a KFF report showing workers paying less for health insurance but employers paying more. Additionally, it mentions the release of star ratings for 2025 Medicare Advantage plans, concerns about Medicare Advantage perks, Q3 earnings season updates, and industry news on PBMs, Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, on-site clinics, and healthcare joint ventures. The newsletter ends with a mention of the Loeb Award and a meme format created by STAT colleagues.
