Walmart announced it is closing down its healthcare business Tuesday. The move will impact 51 locations in five states, as well as relationships with health systems, like the one penned with Florida's Orlando Health in November.
Almost all U.S. hospitals were hurt financially by the cyberattack on United Health Group’s Change Healthcare unit earlier this year, according to a survey from the American Hospital Association (AHA). The AHA said that 94% of hospitals reported damage to cash flow and more than half reported significant or serious financial damage due to Change's inability to process claims. "While this event had disparate impacts on providers, all communities felt the effects in some way," the AHA wrote in a letter to leadership of the U.S. Senate Finance and House Energy and Commerce committees.
Hackers breached UnitedHealth's tech unit on Feb. 12 by using stolen login credentials that gave them remote access to its network, the largest U.S. health insurer will testify before a House panel this week. UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty's testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee will follow weeks of disruption to American healthcare since the insurer's Change Healthcare unit was hacked. On the morning of Feb. 21, the cybercriminal gang AlphV, aka BlackCat, locked up Change Healthcare's systems and demanded a ransom to unlock them, Witty will tell the House panel, according to a copy of his written testimony posted to the panel's website on Monday.
