While the managed care stock story in the first half of 2023 revolved around care utilization concerns, the company that first fueled those worries — UnitedHealth Group — eased investors’ minds considerably when reporting third-quarter earnings.
“Care patterns remain consistent with the view we shared during the second quarter, with activity levels still led by outpatient care for seniors and still most notably in the orthopedic and cardiac procedure categories,” Chief Financial Officer John Rex said, addressing the utilization issue head-on before describing UnitedHealth’s financial results during its Oct. 13 earnings call.
