Federal Judge Gives UnitedHealth Until April 29 to Hand Over AI Claim Denial Documents

Summary: Minnesota federal judge ordered UnitedHealth to produce tens of thousands of documents by April 29 related to allegations that UHC uses an AI algorithm to deny rehabilitation care to seriously ill elderly patients. The algorithm allegedly short-circuits human review. Connects to broader "delay and deny" narrative and the Luigi Mangione case. The April 29 deadline creates a scheduled high-news moment.
