Does anyone know when the next round of layoffs will be for the home health department of Optum Home and Community formerly known as navihealth.

I don't have specific information about the next round of layoffs, but based on the current trends, it wouldn't be surprising if something happens around October.
Optum Home and Community (formerly naviHealth) seems to be facing some challenges. They've been losing contracts, and there's pressure to maintain profitability. In situations like this, companies often resort to significant cuts to show they're still profitable on paper.
The potential class action lawsuit over naviHealth's algorithm is another concern. Companies sometimes try to distance themselves from negative publicity by restructuring or even shutting down problematic divisions. It's possible they might consider more drastic measures for the former naviHealth division to address these issues.
Keep in mind, though, that this is speculation based on general industry patterns. It's always best to stay alert and prepare for various scenarios in this uncertain environment.
