Thread regarding Optum layoffs

You feel like your role is untouchable? Read up. E

"The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is terminating the Medicare Advantage (MA) Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) model at the end of 2025 due to the model’s substantial and unmitigable costs to the Medicare Trust Funds."

You're not untouchable. And if you just happen to be in a NCM, NP, or are in any other clinical role, I wish I could see some of your smug faces when they drop the hammer. Someone is doing your role cheaper on the UHC side already. They're called care navigators.

What I get out of UHG not offering any Medicare Advantage plans is the proof these muthafkers in it for the money! Never mind healthcare access for fixed income people, lol

I think they got out of it in 2023. It sounds like you will be happy to hear nurse practitioners, social workers, and nurses have been losing their jobs all along. If you think the care navigators are going to thrive - it’s you that doesn’t understand that the executives and share holders do not care about a single one of us. I don’t know how they get people to focus on other groups without power - but tip of the hat to you.

Another example of the geniuses that worked here. Reading is fundamental. UHG doesn’t have any plans other than a DSNP or CSNP that remotely falls into the VNID model. Please read or ask a friend to interpret for you. This is a layoff board not a wish hate on you board. Get a life loser

None of us feel like our roles are untouchable, we’re trying to see which role is the best bet to be laid off last and hop around in hopes we don’t get laid off. Haven’t come across anyone who’s smug about this. You just sound hateful
