Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On January 1, 2011, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (the Company) realigned certain of its businesses to respond to changes in the markets it serves and the opportunities that are emerging as the health system evolves. For example, OptumHealths results of operations now include the Companys clinical services assets, including Southwest Medical multi-specialty clinics in Nevada and the Companys Evercare nurse practitioners serving the frail and elderly, which had historically been reported in UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual and UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement, respectively. UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individuals results of operations now include OptumHealth Specialty Benefits, including dental, vision, life and disability. In addition, effective in 2011, the Company began to rebrand its services businesses, which now include OptumHealth (unchanged), OptumInsight (formerly Ingenix) and OptumRx (formerly Prescription Solutions) operating under the master Optum brand.
The Company began to report under its new structure effective with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This Current Report on Form 8-K updates Items 7 and 8 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the 2010 Annual Report) to reflect reclassified historical results. The items filed as an exhibit are presented in their entirety, and information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with and as a supplement to information contained in the Companys 2010 Annual Report. The information filed herewith as an exhibit does not update, amend or restate items in the 2010 Annual Report, except with respect to the realignment of segment businesses described above and use of the new services brands if applicable. For significant developments since the filing of the 2010 Annual Report, refer to subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
