UnitedHealth tech unit's rivals say new, post-hack customers are staying

Quick Summary:

Smaller rivals to UnitedHealth's tech unit Change Healthcare say they are signing longer-term contracts with hospitals and other customers who had temporarily switched from the company after February's cyberattack shut down the unit's services.

Roger Connor, CEO of Optum Insight, the division that includes Change, said in an emailed statement that the company has brought back a "very secure" technology system that is resonating with customers.

The hack hurt people doing business directly with UnitedHealth, but many providers also realized they had indirect exposure through other software vendors.
