This excerpt taken from the UNH 10-Q filed May 7, 2009.

Use of Estimates

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include certain amounts that are based on the Company’s best estimates and judgments. These estimates require the application of complex assumptions and judgments, often because they involve matters that are inherently uncertain and will likely change in subsequent periods. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to medical costs, medical costs payable, revenues, goodwill, other intangible assets, investments and contingent liabilities. The Company adjusts these estimates each period, as more current information becomes available. The impact of any changes in estimates is included in the determination of earnings in the period in which the estimate is adjusted.

Use of Estimates

These Consolidated Financial Statements include certain amounts that are based on our best estimates and judgments.
