Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 19, 2007, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing first quarter 2007 results. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in this Item 2.02 by reference. The press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the Company.

To supplement our consolidated financial results as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the press release also discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures which management believes provides useful information to investors. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the “Reconcilation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of the press release.

As previously announced in the Company’s press release dated March 23, 2007, on April 19, 2007, the Company will discuss its first quarter 2007 results, as well as the Company’s strategy and future outlook, in a teleconference with analysts and investors. The Company will host a live webcast of this conference call at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time from the Investor Relations page of the Company’s web site (www.unitedhealthgroup.com). The webcast replay will be available on the same site for one week following the live call. A copy of the teleconference script will also be available on the same site until the filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
