UnitedHealth's subsidiaries are required to pay over $165 million due to misleading tactics used to sell health insurance.
A state judge determined that the companies deceived thousands of Massachusetts customers into purchasing unnecessary supplemental policies between 2012 and 2016.
The ruling is based on violations of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act, marking the largest civil penalty under this law.
The state Attorney General noted that the companies targeted vulnerable consumers with their deceptive marketing strategies.
UnitedHealthcare plans to appeal the decision, claiming the court's ruling is flawed and unsupported by evidence.
