UnitedHealthcare, the health insurance division of the conglomerate, registered a medical loss ratio of 82.3% in the quarter. That means for every $100 in premiums the company collected, it paid out $82.30 to hospitals, doctors, and other providers — and kept the rest as profit and to cover its own expenses. That ratio was lower than the 82.8% that Wall Street had predicted for the quarter.
