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.
