Does anyone know if any teams outside of the clinics are getting hit again? I’m work in corporate but all I keep hearing about are the clinics closing or merging.

Does anyone know if the 1 MA 1 nurse per provider are they going to be processing referrals? Dfw has its very own referral department center
Wellmed started in San Antonio. The heart of Wellmed is broken. Dr. Rapier has sold us out. Morale is non-existent. So many of us are looking for other jobs. Sad reality of Corporate Medicine. We are just numbers.
Wellmed Quality team got hit again on 3/19. They were impacted on the prior layoffs too. Work was sent offshore
2 lVN, 1 pSR, 1 coc fired Wellmed clinic today in rgv
@163 MDs and APCs ? What clinics ?
@OP Layoff emails started in San Antonio, Tx market clinics today. MDs, APCs, MAs! Those that are layer off get an email tonight.
It’s a bad sign when the bathroom they have is out of order for the last month and the only other bathroom available is being used by both patients and staff. Nasty.
Wellmed going down like a ho---r with STDs up the wazoo!
Kelsey Seybold hired some of the Wellmed providers and MAs. Most of Wellmed Houston area clinics were closed in December . No communication from anyone on future plans . Kelsey laid off a lot of people in the last 2 years reportedly due to Optum changes.
Wellmed- just this week a Wellmed with just one patient seen. Place is huge yet was empty and staffed with 4 receptionist, 3 others I assume placing orders and one medical assistant. They are losing money.
Yes employed on 3/19. Clinic closures.
@f5 WellMed Houston didn’t just disappear. They were absorbed by Kelsey-Seybold
Any word on Wellmed El Paso?
@dy My guess is Wellmed employed will go the way of the Houston clinics - gone. Contracted, skeleton crew of support until those docs figure out to contract with someone else - that'll take a year. Affiliates are already without support and will go back to United next year for sure. Wellmed will be effectively defunct in Texas this year IMO
@bj why? What makes you say this
The operations team is going to do something unusually d-mb - moving to one MA per provider. That might work for traditional practice but will not for Medicare Advantage. Once word gets out I think we lose a lot of MAs as well, going to be a bad time in the employed clinics
I've only heard of owned clinic closures and mergers. From my standpoint...WellMed is likely done with the majority of RIFs for now. New positions and an entirely different approach and frame work have been created. I can't imagine all that work would have been done without an end goal somewhere. Will it all collapse in the end a year from now??? maybe??. It's hard to say.
I'll be surprised if Wellmed TX is still around in 6 months
@ag What the he-l are they doing? Now they’re going for Optum clinics???? STOP allowing all these acquisitions ! If you are going to allow them regulate them somehow so they don’t keep buying these companies and dismantling them and putting thousands of people out of work.
They just announced closing 90 clinics for Optum in New York.
Also in WellMed corporate: I’ve noticed an uptick over the past two to three weeks of back-end WellMed operations and processes merging with/deferring to existing UnitedHealth systems.
