Medicare UM has been hobbling along, with not enough work, since early January. Upper management says that a "strategic decision" was made to pull out of some "overly costly markets", with an expected 22% reduction in membership. It does not take rocket science to understand that if you reduce membership by 22%, you will need 22% less staff, not including cuts for automation.
We all know the RIFs are coming. What are they waiting on? Just put us out of our misery so we can figure out what we are doing with our lives.

@OP They also offshored a lot of Medicare and Commercial UM work. Every account they could legally move based on contract, they also re-negotiated contracts so that they could offshore. They hope to replace most UM with their AI as well.

I think this post could have started with just UM (insert department here)
