Key people in infobox

On behalf of UHG, I'd like to request an update to the key people listed in the infobox.
Dirk McMahon retired on April 1, 2024, and should be removed from the infobox.
John Rex has assumed an expanded role. He is now President, CFO.
A news source to support these updates is this Fierce Healthcare article.

Revision to Foundations section
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of UHG, I would like to address an issue involving misplaced and inaccurate text in the Foundations section.
- Issue Misplaced text
- The second and fourth paragraphs in the Foundations section are both highlighting the same UHF initiative. The third paragraph is misplaced between them, as it highlights the UHCCF, a separate foundation affiliated with UnitedHealth Group.
- Issue Incorrect text
- The text in the fourth paragraph refers to the UHF initiative as a global initiative providing scholarships to international students, which is incorrect and not supported by the cited source. The paragraph also needs a few edits to help clarify the text.
Based on the issues listed above, I am proposing that editors consider:
- Combining the second and fourth paragraphs.
- Clarifying and correcting the new combined paragraph with the changes as indicated below:
UHF pledged $100 million over ten years to fund scholarships and workforce development programs focused on increasing ethnic and racial diversity within the health care industry. UHF's investment will support 10,000 physicians from underrepresented communities: 5,000 students with a primary care focus and 5,000 physicians who want to advance careers in mental health, nursing, midwifery and medicine. The work of this fund is part of a broader initiative in which UnitedHealth Group has teamed up with nine organizations to provide scholarships to more than 3,000 students through the Diverse Scholars Initiative.
Thank you for helping to clarify this information! Barbara at UHG (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

UHC Global update
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of UHG, I'd like to request an update to the UHC Global information in the Organizational structure section.
As stated in this article's History section, 2020s-present, UnitedHealth Group sold its operations in Brazil in February 2024. As a result, a revision is also needed to the entry in the Organizational structure – UHC Global section. I am proposing the following updated text:
- UnitedHealthcare Global - provides nearly 2.2 million people with care and benefits services in South America.
Sources to support this update include:
Thanks for making this update! Barbara at UHG (talk) 18:12, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Addition to Medicare Advantage entry
[edit]This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
On behalf of UHG, I'd like to submit a request to add balance to the third paragraph in the Medicare Advantage Overbilling entry, which is located at the very end of the Criticism and controversies section. The text I am seeking to add to the end of the third paragraph is as follows:
- A spokesperson for UHG called the newspaper’s analysis “inaccurate and biased” and said Medicare Advantage “provides better health outcomes and more affordable healthcare for millions of seniors” than Medicare.
Note: The text I am proposing to add is supported by the same Wall Street Journal article already used as a citation[1] in the existing entry.
Thank you for considering this edit. Barbara at UHG (talk) 19:37, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: Wikipedia isn't really very interested in the gloss that company spokespeople try to put on events, even if they do so via the Wall Street Journal. Axad12 (talk) 08:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
