March 26 (Reuters) - UnitedHealth Group ( UNH ) has

removed most mentions of its diversity, equity and inclusion

(DEI) policies from its website, TechCrunch reported on

Wednesday.

It was not clear whether the health insurer pulled down the

pages to represent a shift in terminology or an actual change in

its policies, the report said.

"We comply with existing and emerging laws while striving to

support what is best for the communities we serve." UnitedHealth ( UNH )

told Reuters in a statement, without giving additional details.

According to TechCrunch's report, multiple pages of the

UnitedHealth ( UNH ) website dedicated to DEI now redirect to a "page

not found" error when compared to archived copies of the site.

TechCrunch reports seeing the company take down the pages in

real-time throughout Wednesday morning, using a web page monitor

to check for any changes to the website.

In its place, UnitedHealth ( UNH ) has added a page called "Culture

of Belonging", the report added.
