“UnitedHealth Group treats all of the plans it administers as one huge piggybank, moving money around as it sees fit……………….”
“A pair of workers enrolled in a UnitedHealthcare insurance plan have filed a class-action suit claiming the healthcare giant took more than $1 billion annually from employer plans for ‘cross-plan offsetting.’ …
The plaintiffs aim to block UnitedHealth from continuing to use cross-plan offsetting ‘for good.’ The plaintiffs in the latest case argue that the practice has been deemed illegal under [ERISA] by several courts and has come under fire from the [DOL].” [Scott v. UnitedHealth Group Inc., No. 20-1570 (D. Minn. complaint filed Jul. 14, 2020)]
