Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Housecalls

How’s everyone in Housecalls doing? Are there any concerns for layoffs? I’m full time and I only have a small amount of members (<55) scheduled in the future. It used to be a lot more than that.

Same high number of secondary visits without any apparent care gaps.

I’m at the point where 50% of more of my visits per day are 2nd visits. Not sure if that means there’s not enough to be seen 1st time, or they are just trying to get as much as reimbursement as possible doing it twice..

I'm now on 2nd visits AND underbooked for the next two weeks (realizing they could fill in at the last minute though) in an area they are PAYING travelers to come work. I have also been working incentive days in this area. Make it make sense.

@e7 yes always a concern when a company is trying to get the profit margin back. If an area does not have the membership to support visits then RIF will occur. Surely, they are not going to pay an NP to sit at home. They are doing VVV, every 6 month visits and same day to be sure schedules are full. Burn rate and new enrollment numbers will predict future needs etc

What are barriers to completion of visit? I'd say the Bill in Congress( no upcode act ) to eliminate coding from home visits . Unlinked chart review dx already eliminated.

Noticing the same. Volume and quality of visits are down. I’m in a major city.
