UnitedHealth Group says it's cooperating with DOJ Medicare probe
Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks during a press briefing in June. UnitedHealth said its facing an investigation from the Department of Justice about its Medicare billing practices. Photo by Yuri Gripas/UPI | License Photo July 24 (UPI) -- UnitedHealth Group said Thursday it is facing Department of Justice investigations over its Medicare billing practices. UnitedHealth Group said in a statement on its website that it reached out to the DOJ after seeing media reports about investigations into its Medicare program. "(UnitedHealth) has now begun complying with formal criminal and civil requests from the Department. The Company has full confidence in its practices and is committed to working cooperatively with the Department throughout this process," the statement said. The insurer said it's launching its own investigation. "To provide our stakeholders transparency and confidence (UnitedHealth) ... has proactively launched its own initiative to conduct third party reviews of policies, practices, and associated processes and performance metrics for risk assessment coding, managed care practices, and pharmacy services." The company told CNBC that it expects to complete that review near the end of the third quarter. The Wall Street Journal reported in May that the Justice Department is conducting a criminal investigation into UHC for Medicare fraud. The company said it stands "by the integrity of our Medicare Advantage program." The Journal reported in July that the DOJ interviewed doctors about UnitedHealth's practices and asked if they felt pressured to submit claims for certain conditions that bolstered payments from the Medicare Advantage program. "(UnitedHealth) is committed to maintaining the integrity of its business practices and serving as reliable stewards of American tax dollars," UnitedHealth said. This is just the latest setback for the country's largest health insurer. Shares are down more than 42%, its CEO Andrew Witty left the company in May, it suffered a ransomware attack in early 2024, and then CEO Brian Thompson was killed in December 2024 by alleged shooter Luigi Mangione, which sparked significant public outrage against the company.

Trump administration cancels $5B loan guarantee for solar and wind power line
The Trump administration is canceling a nearly $5 billion dollar loan guarantee for a power line that would connect wind and solar power to the grid, marking the latest in a string of attacks on renewable energy by the administration. The Biden administration had previously offered a loan guarantee of up to $4.9 billion dollars for the Grain Belt Express Phase 1 project, a massive electric transmission project in Kansas and Missouri. 'After a thorough review of the project's financials, DOE found that the conditions necessary to issue the guarantee are unlikely to be met and it is not critical for the federal government to have a role in supporting this project,' the Department of Energy said in a written statement. 'To ensure more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, DOE has terminated its conditional commitment,' it added. Grain Belt Express indicated in a statement that it would continue with its efforts to build the massive power line, which would stretch across 800 miles and add 5,000 megawatts of power capacity, or enough to power 500 million LED lightbulbs. 'America is energy dominant and an AI powerhouse, and Grain Belt Express will be America's largest power pipeline,' the statement said. 'While we are disappointed about the LPO loan guarantee, a privately financed Grain Belt Express transmission superhighway will advance President Trump's agenda of American energy and technology dominance while delivering billions of dollars in energy cost savings, strengthening grid reliability and resiliency, and creating thousands of American jobs,' it added. The energy department's move comes after Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) repeatedly railed against the powerline. He took credit for canceling the loan, with his office saying the cancellation came after his request. 'The Grain Belt Express boondoggle loan has been CANCELLED,' he said in a post on X. However, Democrats on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee criticized the cancellation in a post on X. 'The Grain Belt Express Transmission Line would increase grid reliability and reduce electricity prices for American families. It's EXACTLY the kind of project experts say we need to meet increasing demand. Hawley, Trump, and [Energy Secretary] Chris Wright just killed it, with zero justification,' said the committee Democrats, who are led by Sen. Martin Heinrich (N.M.). In its final weeks in office, the Biden administration pushed forward several loans for climate-friendly energy projects. The Trump administration says it is now reviewing $85 billion in closed loans and conditional commitments made by the Energy Department's Loan Programs Office between President Trump's election and his inauguration. The Trump administration is also seeking more broadly to drive the country away from solar and wind, climate-friendly energy sources that they argue are not sufficiently reliable. Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' slashes incentives for solar and wind. Separately, his Interior Department recently put out a memo that is expected to make it more difficult to advance and approve wind and solar projects.
