UnitedHealthcare is seeking regulatory approval to begin selling coverage to individuals in four new states in 2023, expanding the insurer's return to a market it largely abandoned five years ago.
Currently, the Minnesota-based carrier is selling the coverage in 18 states through government-run health exchange marketplaces that were launched under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA).
UnitedHealthcare confirmed in an email to the Star Tribune that it hopes to start doing so in four more states next year — Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio.
