It’s never, ever, ever enough. Move the goalpost so you always fail.
@a3 From the news this morning…”Aetna Inc., a national insurer incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania, has agreed to pay $117,700,000 to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by submitting or failing to withdraw inaccurate and untruthful diagnosis codes for its Medicare Advantage Plan enrollees in order to increase its payments from Medicare.”
No need for commentary re HC.
@a2 sadly I could see housecalls not even existing anymore within a few years if they aren’t receiving Medicare reimbursement like previously
OP
Are you really surprised?
This feels more like additional data collection to justify future layoffs and further market realignment. They already have full visibility into how many visits are scheduled each month, how many are actually completed (completion efficiency), and it doesn’t take much analysis to determine the average daily volume by dividing total completed visits by the number of worked days. Because of that, it’s hard to believe this is simply about “understanding productivity,” as was suggested earlier today. If someone were truly underperforming, that should already be apparent from the existing metrics. To me, this signals that there’s more going on behind the scenes than what’s being communicated, and I can’t help but interpret it as a potential indicator of more bad news ahead.
