Change Healthcare systems back online
Over 99% of pre-incident claim volume is being processed.
UnitedHealth Group announced that its subsidiary Change Healthcare has restored its pharmacy network. As of 13 March, all primary pharmacy and payment systems have resumed operations, with over 99% of pre-incident claim volume being processed. Nonetheless, UnitedHealth acknowledged that efforts are ongoing to address the remaining pharmacies that are still offline.
The network suffered an outage in February due to a cyberattack on Optum Solutions, a UnitedHealth Group company which manages the Change Healthcare platform. The cyberattack was claimed by the BlackCat ransomware group.
