UnitedHealthcare has filed a defamation lawsuit against The Guardian following a May 21 story alleging that the company secretly paid nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers, potentially compromising resident health, Semafor reported Wednesday.

The report claimed that UnitedHealthcare's actions were part of cost-cutting measures that saved the company millions but at times risked residents' health.

UnitedHealthcare reportedly alleged in the lawsuit that The Guardian intentionally disseminated false information and sought to exploit media attention surrounding the murder of its former CEO, Brian Thompson, in New York City in December.
