The insurer filed a lawsuit Sept. 23, just days after Aetna issued its own against the city and labor leaders.
The lawsuit — brought by United HealthCare Services, Sierra Health and Life Insurance Company, Oxford Health Insurance and UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company of New York — also targets the city and the Office of Labor Relations.
The suit alleges that the Alliance did not meet solicitation requirements, that the procurement process was changed mid-selection and that the process unfairly favored the Alliance.
Up to $34 billion between five and 11 years is on the table to whomever manages the contract, according to the lawsuit.
