Hi, I’m looking for honest perspectives. I work at UHC in their Medicaid business. It’s never been a great fit for me, but I’ve learned a lot. I’m interviewing for a manager role at Humana. Outside looking in, Humana appears more member-friendly than UHC. How’s the Medicaid business there?

Working at Humana is like knowing you are in he-l but they keep telling you it’s heaven. Management is horrible, the directors are inexperienced nurses lying to everyone and themselves. They are narcissists .
@fb So, that makes total sense as it goes along with that old saying “Fecal matter flows downhill!”
I paraphrased there.
@f3 All five health insurance corporations (e.g., Humana, Elevance/Anthem, Cigna, Centene, UHC) the toxicity is due to the middle level leadership (e.g., Directors, Associate Directors, Managers), which they are encouraged to be that way from being flowed down from Senior Vice Presidents, Regional Vice Presidents, which is encouraged to be toxic which flows down from the Executives of these corporations.
@e6 thank you for sharing. I just assumed UHC was the worst cause it’s UHC lol
@OP I went from Centene to Humana about 7 months ago and let me tell you the cynicism and toxicity is the same at all these MCOs 🥴
@OP So, question for you now, OP.
Are you really just a Humana shill that created this fake UHC post to try to intimidate or perhaps detract from other posts? Or try to make other posts appear as unhinged or not normal.
If you read our posts, just truth and logic are spoken. No threats. And we are nothing like UHC’s Mangio person. Now, he was unhinged and deranged. But we are nothing like him and only speak logic and the truth. Which I am certain many leaders do not like.
@dg Yeah, and finance people tend to speak the loudest against anyone speaking to the aspect of caring about patients health first. But that is inly because thsy have been trained and brainwashed to have the greediest of mentalities.
@de People are starting to realize what is really going on and are starting to develop a conscience.
Finally realizing how corrupt, greedy, and dare it be said evil these corporations we have been working for are.
Not everyone has woken up yet but many. The finance and accounting people and probably HR will be the last to awaken to reality.
@ay I don’t currently manage people. I work on a national team.
I’ve noticed Humana posts here are pretty jaded. I’m trying to figure out if it’s that bad (like worse than UHC) or if staff feel more empowered to speak up.
You didn’t mention the role you had held with UHC but if you were already a Manager or above over there, then you probably already have the corrupt mentality down and therefore should fit in great as a Humana leader.
You are unlikely to walk into a manager role as they promote from within. Humana is high pressure - lots of metrics to meet, plus they constantly change the playing field and move the goalposts. It can be very cliquey. I retired from there 2 years ago and held different positions in my 16 years there. I stayed mainly because of WFH which suited me in my rural location. If you are comfortable with constant changes and questionable management, then apply. You have to stay in your role 12 months before applying for a new position.
