Group or one of its affiliates and to protect UnitedHealth Group’s knowledge, expertise, customer relationships, and confidential information. Unless the context otherwise requires, “UnitedHealth Group” includes all its affiliated
entities. 
  

	1.	Employment and Duties. 

  

	 	A.	Employment. UnitedHealth Group hereby employs Executive, and Executive accepts employment, under this Agreement’s terms. 

  

	 	B.	Title and Duties. Executive will be employed as Executive Vice President. Executive will perform such duties, have such authority, and exercise such supervision and control
as are commonly associated with Executive’s position, as well as perform such other duties as are reasonably assigned to Executive. Executive will devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and energy to Executive’s duties.
Executive will maintain operations in Executive’s area of responsibility, and make every reasonable effort to ensure that the employees within that area of responsibility act, in compliance with applicable law and UnitedHealth Group’s
Principles of Integrity and Compliance. Executive is subject to all of UnitedHealth Group’s employment policies and procedures (except as specifically superseded by this Agreement). 

  

	2.	Compensation and Benefits. 

  

	 	A.	Base Salary. Executive’s initial annual base salary will be $600,000, payable according to UnitedHealth Group’s regular payroll schedule. Periodic adjustments to
Executive’s base salary may be made. 

  

	 	B.	Incentive Compensation. Executive will be eligible to participate in UnitedHealth Group’s incentive compensation plans in UnitedHealth Group’s discretion and in
accordance with the plans’ terms and conditions. Executive’s initial target bonus potential will be 90% of annual base salary, subject to periodic adjustments. 

  

	 	C.	Equity Awards. Executive will be eligible for stock-based awards in UnitedHealth Group’s discretion. 

  

	 	D.	 Employee Benefits. Executive will be eligible to participate in UnitedHealth Group’s employee welfare, retirement, and other benefit plans on the same

Group’s policies. UnitedHealth Group reserves the right to amend or discontinue any plan or policy at any time in its sole discretion. In addition to
the Company’s generally available benefits, the Company shall provide Executive, at the Company’s expense during the term of Executive’s employment, a $2 million face value term life insurance policy and a long term disability policy
which covers 60% of base salary in the event of a qualifying long term disability, subject to the policy terms. 

  

	3.	Term and Termination. 

  

	 	A.	Term. This Agreement’s term is from the Effective Date until this Agreement is terminated under Section 3.B. 

  

	 	B.	Termination. 

  

	 	i.	By Mutual Agreement. The parties may terminate Executive’s employment and this Agreement at any time by mutual agreement. 

  

	 	ii.	By UnitedHealth Group without Cause. UnitedHealth Group may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment without Cause upon 90 days’ prior written notice.

  

	 	iii.	By UnitedHealth Group with Cause. UnitedHealth Group may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment at any time for Cause. “Cause” means
Executive’s (a) material failure to follow UnitedHealth Group’s reasonable direction or to perform any duties reasonably required on material matters, (b) material violation of, or failure to act upon or report known or suspected
violations of, UnitedHealth Group’s Principles of Integrity and Compliance, (c) conviction of a felony, (d) commission of any criminal, fraudulent, or dishonest act in connection with Executive’s employment, (e) material
breach of this Agreement, or (f) conduct that is materially detrimental to UnitedHealth Group’s interests. UnitedHealth Group will, within 120 days of the discovery of the conduct, give Executive written notice specifying the conduct
constituting Cause in reasonable detail, and Executive will have 60 days to remedy such conduct, if such conduct is reasonably capable of being remedied. In any instance where the Company may have grounds for Cause, failure by the Company to provide
written notice of the grounds for Cause within 120 days of discovery shall be a waiver of its right to assert the subject conduct as a basis for termination for Cause. 

  

	 	iv.	By Executive without Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment at any time for any reason, including due to Executive’s
retirement. 

  

 - 2 - 

	 	v.	By Executive for Good Reason. Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment for Good Reason, as defined below. Executive must give UnitedHealth Group
written notice specifying in reasonable detail the circumstances constituting Good Reason, within 120 days of becoming aware of such circumstances, or such circumstances will not constitute Good Reason. If the circumstances constituting Good Reason
are reasonably capable of being remedied, UnitedHealth Group will have 60 days to remedy such circumstances. “Good Reason” will exist if, without Executive’s consent, UnitedHealth Group: (a) reduces Executive’s base salary
or long or short term target bonus percentage other than in connection with a general reduction affecting a group of similarly situated employees; (b) moves Executive’s primary work location more than 50 miles; (c) makes changes that
substantially diminish Executive’s duties or responsibilities; or (d) changes the Executive’s reporting relationship. 

  

	 	vi.	Due to Executive’s Death or Disability. This Agreement and Executive’s employment will terminate automatically if Executive dies. The termination date will be the
date of Executive’s death. UnitedHealth Group may terminate this Agreement and Executive’s employment due to Executive’s disability that renders Executive incapable of performing the essential functions of Executive’s job, with
or without reasonable accommodation. Executive will not be entitled to Severance Benefits under Section 4 in the event of termination due to Executive’s death or disability. 

  

	4.	Severance Benefits. 

  

	 	A.	Circumstances under Which Severance Benefits Payable. Executive will be entitled to Severance Benefits only if Executive’s employment is terminated by UnitedHealth Group
without Cause or if Executive terminates employment for Good Reason. The Severance Benefits in this Agreement are in lieu of any payments or benefits to which Executive otherwise might be entitled under any UnitedHealth Group severance plan or
program. 

  

	 	B.	Severance Benefits. Executive will be entitled to the following Severance Benefits in the event Executive’s employment terminates under the circumstances described in
Section 4A above: 

 (1) Two times the Executive’s annualized base salary as of Executive’s termination date;

  

 - 3 - 

 (2) Two times the average of the total of any bonus or incentive compensation paid or payable to
Executive for the two most recent calendar years (excluding equity-related awards, payments under any long-term or similar benefit plan, or any other special or one-time bonus or incentive compensation payments); 
 (3) $12,000 payment to offset costs of COBRA; and 
 (4) Outplacement services consistent with those provided to similarly situated executives provided by an outplacement firm selected by UnitedHealth Group. 
 Subject to the provisions §416(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, all payments in (1)-(2) above will be less applicable deductions, including
deductions for tax withholding, and will be paid bi-weekly on the regular payroll cycle over the 24- month severance period. Executive and the Company agree that this Section 4 will not have the effect of extending the vesting period of any
equity awards granted prior to the date hereof. 
  

	 	C.	Separation Agreement and Release Required. In order to receive any Severance Benefits under this Agreement, Executive must sign a separation agreement and release of claims
substantially in the form attached hereto. 

  

	5.	Property Rights, Confidentiality, Non-Disparagement, and Restrictive Covenants. 

  

	 	A.	UnitedHealth Group’s Property. 

  

	 	i.	Assignment of Property Rights. Executive must promptly disclose in writing to UnitedHealth Group all inventions, discoveries, processes, procedures, methods and works of
authorship, whether or not patentable or copyrightable, that Executive alone or jointly conceives, makes, discovers, writes or creates, during working hours or on Executive’s own time, during this Agreement’s term (the “Works”).
Executive hereby assigns to UnitedHealth Group all Executive’s rights, including copyrights and patent rights, to all Works. Executive must assist UnitedHealth Group as it reasonably requires to perfect, protect, and use its rights to the
Works. This provision does not apply to any Work for which no UnitedHealth Group equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information was used and: (1) which does not relate directly to UnitedHealth Group’s business or actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed for UnitedHealth Group.

after Executive’s employment with UnitedHealth Group, except as necessary to perform Executive’s UnitedHealth Group duties or as UnitedHealth Group may consent in writing. This Agreement does not restrict use or disclosure of publicly
available information or information: (i) that Executive obtained from a source other than UnitedHealth Group before becoming employed by UnitedHealth Group; or (ii) that Executive received from a source outside UnitedHealth Group without

any UnitedHealth Group product or service that Executive participated in, engaged in, or had Confidential Information regarding, during Executive’s employment; provided, however, that this Section 5.D.iv. will not prevent Executive from
being employed by, or working as a consultant to, or serving on the board of, or being an owner or an investor in, a private equity firm.

 - 8 -Noncompete and Transition Agreement with Richard H. Anderson

 Exhibit 10.31 
 NONCOMPETE AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT 
 THIS NONCOMPETE AND TRANSITION AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is between Richard H. Anderson (“Executive”) and United HealthCare Services, Inc. (“UNH”). 
 WHEREAS, Executive
voluntarily resigned his employment with UNH effective September 15, 2007 (“Resignation Date”). 
 WHEREAS, UNH believes it is
in the best interests of the Company to obtain non-compete and non-solicitation agreements from Executive for a duration that is longer than the noncompete agreement provided for in Executive’s employment agreement dated December 1, 2006.

 NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Non-Compete. Executive agrees, for 36 months following his Resignation Date, not to engage or participate, directly or indirectly, for Executive or for any other person or entity, as agent, employee,
officer, director, consultant, owner, principal, partner or shareholder, or in any other individual or representative capacity, in, or in any way render services or assistance to, any business that competes, directly or indirectly, with any
UnitedHealth Group product or service that Executive participated in, engaged in, or had Confidential Information (as defined in Executive’s employment agreement) during Executive’s employment; provided, however, that this Section 1
will not prevent Executive from being employed by, or working as a consultant to, or serving on the board of, or being an owner or an investor in, a private equity firm. If, in the future, within the 36-month noncompetition period, Executive wishes
to assume a role in the health care industry, Executive will consult in advance with UNH to determine whether UNH reasonably believes such a role violates this provision. Executive agrees that UNH is required to pay the compensation described in
Section 3 only so long as Executive remains in compliance with his obligations under Sections 1 and 2. 
 2. Non-Solicitation.
Executive agrees, for 36 months following his Resignation Date, Executive shall not (1) recruit or solicit any UnitedHealth Group employee or consultant or (2) directly or indirectly solicit, divert, or take away, or attempt to solicit,
divert, or take away, any person or entity who was a UnitedHealth Group provider or customer within 12 months of the Resignation Date and with whom Executive had contact to further UnitedHealth Group’s business or for whom Executive performed
services or supervised the provision of services during Executive’s employment. 
 3. Confidential Information. Executive has
received access to and provided with sensitive, confidential, proprietary and trade secret information (“Confidential Information”) during the course of Executive’s employment. Examples of Confidential Information include: inventions;
new product or marketing plans; business strategies and plans; merger and acquisition targets; financial and pricing information; computer programs, source codes, models and databases; analytical models; customer lists and information; and supplier
and vendor lists and information. Executive agrees not to disclose or use Confidential Information after Executive’s employment with UNH, except as UNH may consent in writing. This section 3 does not restrict use or disclosure of publicly
available information or information: (i) that Executive obtained from a source other than UNH before becoming employed by UNH or (ii) that Executive received from a source outside UNH without an obligation of confidentiality. 

 4. Consideration. In consideration of Executive’s commitments under this Agreement, including
the noncompetition and non-solicitation obligations under Sections 1, 2 and 3 of this Agreement, UNH will pay Executive a lump sum of $2,030,000. Because Executive is considered a “key employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code, this payment will not be made until six months following the Resignation Date. 
 All amounts paid under this
Section 4 will be paid to Executive less tax withholdings and deductions. The amounts paid to Executive under this Section 4 do not constitute severance compensation and therefore will not extend the vesting or exercise periods for
Executive’s stock options and stock appreciation rights awards. Those awards are governed by their respective certificates and the applicable plan documents, and this Agreement does not supersede or modify in any manner those certificates and
plan documents. 
 5. Non-Disparagement. Executive agrees not to criticize, make any negative comments or otherwise disparage UNH or
those associated with it, whether orally, in writing or otherwise, directly or by implication, to any person or entity, including UNH customers and agents. 
 6. Release. In consideration for the payments and commitments UNH has made in this Agreement, Executive releases the following parties from all claims he may have, known or unknown, against them: 
  

	 	•	 	 UNH; 

  

	 	•	 	 UNH’s parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies; 

  

	 	•	 	 UNH’s predecessors; and 

  

	 	•	 	 All of the above companies’ agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, shareholders, successors and assigns. 

 Executive’s release of claims includes all claims related to his employment with UNH or his resignation of employment. For example, Executive’s release
includes claims based on: 
  

	 	•	 	 Any federal statute, including: the False Claims Act (including any right to share in any recovery by the United States government); Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964; the Civil Rights Act of 1866; the Civil Rights Act of 1874; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA); the Equal Pay Act; the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and the National
Labor Relations Act; 

  

	 	•	 	 Any state statute, including discrimination and whistleblower statutes; 

  

	 	•	 	 Any ordinance; 

  

	 	•	 	 Any express or implied contract, including the Employment Agreement dated December 1, 2006 between UNH and Executive; 

  

	 	•	 	 Any tort, such as defamation, misrepresentation, infliction of emotional distress, or fraud; 

  

	 	•	 	 Negligence; or 

  

	 	•	 	 Any other legal theory. 

 Executive’s release
also waives his right to begin or continue any complaint under UNH’s Internal Dispute Resolution (IDR) policy. 
 Executive’s release does not:
(i) affect his right to obtain any vested and nonforfeitable balance in his accounts under any retirement plan; (ii) preclude him from exercising any conversion or continuation coverage rights he may have under UNH’s welfare benefit
plans; or (iii) waive his right to file an administrative charge with or participate in an administrative proceeding conducted by any governmental agency concerning his employment, although Executive’s release does waive any right to
receive any individual remedy, including monetary damages, in connection with any charge. 
  

 2 

 7. Cooperation and Assistance. Executive agrees that Executive will cooperate (i) with UNH
and its affiliates in the defense of any legal claim involving any matter that arose during his employment with UNH, and (ii) with all government authorities on matters pertaining to any investigation, litigation or administrative proceeding
concerning UNH or its affiliates. UNH will reimburse Executive for any reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Executive in providing such cooperation. 
 8. Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or does supersede or otherwise affect the terms of any agreement or certificate relating to an award
of stock options, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights. Executive’s rights and obligations under any such agreement or certificate, including but not limited to any Restrictive Covenants, remain in full force and effect according
to their terms. 
 9. Indemnification. UNH will defend and indemnify Executive in accordance with Minnesota statute
Section 302A.521 and any other applicable law. UNH agrees that this obligation includes payment of attorneys’ fees related to stock option-related investigations and litigation. 
 10. Judicial Modification and Severability. If any of this Agreement’s provisions is determined to be unenforceable, the parties agree that
such provision should be modified so that it is enforceable or, if modification is not possible, that it should be severed, and the enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected by such modification or severance. 
 11. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by Minnesota law without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. 
 12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any other documents referenced in it are the entire agreement between the parties regarding
Executive’s employment resignation. To the extent that there is any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and Executive’s employment agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall apply. This Agreement may only be changed by a written
amendment signed by both parties.
