Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealth’s (UNH.N), opens new tab insurance unit, was fatally shot on Wednesday morning outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel in what appeared to be a targeted attack by a gunman lying in wait, New York City police officials said.
This wasn’t the CEO but the CEO of the insurance division. The overall CEO is Andrew Witty.
Thompson was once in charge of Medicare & Retirement, which means he would’ve had some real authority in the situation of denial of claims with Medicare Advantage plans.
