Major Health Insurance Companies Take Down Leadership Pages Following Murder of United Healthcare CEO
Following the murder of its CEO on Wednesday morning, United Healthcare removed a page from its website listing the rest of its executive leadership, and several other health insurance companies have done the same, hiding the names and photos of their executives from easy public access.Β
As of Thursday, United Healthcareβs βabout usβ page that listed leadership, including slain CEO Brian Thompson, redirects to the companyβs homepage. An archive of the page shows that it was still up as of Wednesday morning, but is redirecting at the time of writing and isnβt directly accessible from Google search or the siteβs navigation buttons.Β
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, which Thursday said it would walk back changes announced this week that would charge patients for anesthesia during procedures that went longer than estimated, now redirects its own leadership page to its βabout usβ page. Originally that page showed leadership, including President and CEO Kim Keck, Executive Vice President and CFO Christina Fisher, and 23 more executives as of earlier this year according to archives of the page, but is now inaccessible.Β
