I’ve been working in my position as a contractor for several months and was finally offered a permanent position with UHG. However, the offer pay is lower than the start pay I received at the beginning of my contract. Like drastically lower to the point I don’t want to accept the permanent position at all. Trying to figure out my options but this is frustrating.

That's normal in every industry - contractors are paid more because they don't receive employee benefits. As a contractor you're on your own for medical, dental, retirement, etc, and you don't get paid time off. Only you can decide if the lower pay as an employee with benefits is worth it for you.
It's called "Bait and Switch"
Just like their other "Advertise the job as "remote" but during the interview advising "3 days required in the office"
@OP Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
