Anyone have any suspicions as to how Provider Data Management teams across the company will be affected? My team (Wellcare Medicare of Connecticut) was already cut significantly once in 2024 because we exited the Vermont market then, and this year we were combined with Maine under one manager.
Without us and what we do, providers can't get enrolled, credentialed and paid, and members don't know who they can even go to see, so I'd say we serve a very critical function. But I know that means little to nothing at the end of the day in all of this. My manager has already said that if she has any say in the cuts at all that me and one other person are definitely not going, but obviously no guarantees that she will have any authority there. 🤷🏻♂️

@ea Just my 2 cents! We all have our own perspectives. If this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to just scroll on by. It's totally free to ignore, so no need to get worked up over it! 😊
Here you go, spamming this same post content, verbatim, copyy/pasting it onto thread after thread, in the Centene section of this site!

You are very determined to try to do some sort of damage control here, by copy/pasting that same B.S. on thread after thread. "Leadership holds all the cards"...LOL
Is that why "leadership" had to backtrack and change the VSP policy, once they saw the deluge of numbers of people who applied for it? Suddenly the "leadership" tone changed from "take it or leave it" (where most people took the offer) to "hey wait a minute guys, we need to change things up a bit here...we need more time to process things."
GTFO with your B.S.
Everyone can see through it, and you're fooling no one.
Honestly, no one knows what leadership will do, and they hold all the cards. Speculating on every rumor isn't going to change the outcome. In the end, it boils down to two options: accept the Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) or risk an involuntary layoff. It’s a financial decision for the company, not a personal one. My best advice is to stop stressing over the noise and focus on preparing for whichever scenario comes your way.
@a7 True, but to be fair the providers themselves are also to blame for that if they don't let health plans know when they move, when a provider leaves the practice, when they're not taking new patients, when they stop accepting a certain plan, etc. Payers can only work with the information they're given. Two-way street.
@OP Centene has been fine time and time again for failing to keep updated provider directories. Obviously they do not care. They’re currently being sue again for “ghost network”. I repeat, THEY DO NOT CARE! How do I know this? Google is free.
