Any insight as to how many CCs are expected to be let go in the next few months? It feels like doom and gloom over here - not "if" but "when"...

@dg why should an insurer , also insert itself to " manage" the patient when the insurer's goal is profit for shareholders ? I think you know the answer .
Rumor has it cuts in NJ today
@vz they have talked about it during the last few town halls. They are using certain diagnoses to identify patients. Lots of extra staff with lots of hands in the pot.
@v5 what is the nee care model yo role out?
My title is care coordinator but I’m a social worker with H&C in the area that was previously Landmark. I wonder if they will cut social workers with the new model of care they are rolling out?
@tm agreed. I think every state will feel the impact
@rs there are several states with minimal to no humana. But there could still be an affect there.. maybe not as big, but there could be.
What about states with minimal to no humana? Down here in Florida we have minimal
@pj and course job availability In another time zone would be required . SC/Ga market is Humana heavy, so who knows how many will be cut. Our current model is onsite within 30 mile radius. Maybe they will have float pool take over
@j6 Of course we could work a CST schedule but that impacts work life balance even more than the lack of flexibility that already exists in H&C. I would love to live in CST and work EST - Work day over by 230-3PM vs 330-4PM.
For many a 9am or later start in EST is not feasible.
Yeah I would really just like to know how big this layoff really will be. It’s a realllllly hard waiting game. They will likely be waiting until the very last second so there aren’t people jumping ship while we still have this work. I was hoping we would know by Sept but Oct looks more likely? Idk….
@ea Couldn’t you still work a role that is CST? My current role is EST but I live in the central time zone. I just adjust accordingly.
@dg and most of the available roles are asking for RNs. There are very minimal roles for PT/OT/ST disciplines which makes things more nerve wracking. Dreading the next few months.
@dt I am a CC in SC and my caseload is primarily Humana. I would love to know our fate , sooner or later. And EST time roles with the company are scarce.
@by CC means care coordinators (role)
I anticipate layoffs - I happily would volunteer. I anticipate we will find out our fate in October. Thinking the home health crew was given 60 days or 90 days notice when they all got chopped if I remember correctly. Alot of UR roles elsewhere in company are CST too and not great hours for those of us living in EST. Also don't forget Global has been doing UHC predict closures. Any thoughts if global would just take over UHC all together?
@by Home and Community CC’s are care coordinators- usually RN, PT, OT or ST. Since losing the Humana contract- it affects caseload volume and productivity. They manage UHC members in skilled facility settings. And because there is no large contract pending to replace Humana- it is assumed jobs will be lost or CC’s will be transitioned elsewhere. The available jobs are scarce for roles these CC’s could step into- so a concern is valid.
what is CC ? also what makes you
think layoffs are possible?
@OP the spotlight email to meet with HR to find career opportunities gave more fear and anxiety
