Key Factors Driving UnitedHealth Group's Medicaid Managed Care Business

The division recorded unprecedented growth in enrollments in 2014, adding over a million new Medicaid customers, about 2% higher than the previous year. At the end of 2014, the total number of people served by the company's Medicaid division stood at just over 5 million. This resulted in a 29% year-over-year spike in the division's revenues to about $24 billion in 2014, as the company continued to benefit from an expanding market.
