UnitedHealth shares fell in premarket trading after a Guardian report that the company made secret payments to nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers added to the troubles of the healthcare conglomerate.

The company’s stock has taken a beating after the Wall Street Journal recently reported that the U.S. Department of Justice had begun a criminal investigation into the company for potential Medicare fraud, which followed CEO Andrew Witty’s abrupt departure and the withdrawal of its 2025 forecast last week.

On Wednesday, UnitedHealth shares fell more than 8% before paring losses and were last down 3% at $311.59.
