Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Programs

We had a patient call the office and stated that she did not understand why she’s being taken off the supportive care program. She switched from a different insurance to a United healthcare advantage plan just for the coverage and whoever she spoke to just advised her that Wellmed supportive care is not accepting United healthcare so there’s no coverage for the supportive care within her benefits. It seems like they are letting the patients know in advance so they can transition back to the clinic and get scheduled in office before they do the layoffs.

Just a thought. Next round might be 12/18

@OP Same old story for Optum. They can’t change their stripes.
spokesperson for Optum said that it “made the difficult decision to close the Putnam office due to various factors, including the expiration of our lease there,” according to a Nov. 26 report.
This is a 400 million dollar corporation. Since when does a lease stand in the way of providing care.
