UnitedHealth Group Inc has moved to seek damages from the U.S. government after a federal judge dismissed part of a lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department claiming the insurer obtained more than $1 billion from Medicare based on inaccurate information.
UnitedHealth on Friday filed a counterclaim in federal court in Los Angeles, contending that the government breached contracts it has with UnitedHealth relating to the company’s running of Medicare Advantage plans.
