Thread regarding Optum layoffs

OGS US

What does anyone know about payers that cant be outsourced? Do the people that stay to work these payers eventually lose their job as well?

I'm with one of their many acquisitions. Over 300 people were laid off this month. There are about 30 of us left. I'm being told things are more secure for me now but are they really?

The employee health plan too. Supposed to be restricted to domestic but all offshore now. Triple check your EOBs!

OGS is taking over the jobs and those left stateside will be a shell (aka loop hole). Media should get a hold of this and expose the plan. UHG taking government monies and now offshoring as fast and hard as they can.

Puerto Rico is their newest loophole. It is a U. S. Contintent so not technically offshore. Employees their start at _$9-$10 an hour opposed to the $16+ they pay mainland employees money saved

Several Medicaid plans are being sent off shore and the domestic employees who managed the plans just got laid off. Optum keeps a high level person like a VP on shore and that's the only person the payor deals with. It's so shady.

They filter through one onshore employee (who is typically from the country they are outsourcing to). I have been in plenty of projects where this will take place. It’s their loop hole.

They keep 1 face on shore so it looks like it's all on shore and outsource the rest and the client can try to prove the violation. Optics over integrity
