Potential Member Disruption with Medical and Pharmacy Benefits:Change Healthcare Outage
On February 21, 2024, Change Healthcare (CHC), owned by United Healthcare and Optum, discovered its systems were under cyberattack, resulting in disruption in service to its health plan and medical provider clients.

- EDI Claims Submission (837 files)
- Electronic Remittance Advice (835 files)
