UnitedHealth Group has set up a temporary financial assistance program for physicians and other providers who have been unable to receive payments due to a cyberattack against its technology subsidiary Change Healthcare.
The program, furnished through Optum Financial Services, allows physicians who receive payments processed by Change to apply for temporary funding based on prior claims volume, according to the company. The funds will need to be repaid after standard operations resume.
