If Humana is so transparent, why can't they have the decency to share the overall plan, we we can thrive together and live the values to prepare ourselves and our members?

There is another article stating that Cigna, Aetna and other insurers are all "paring down", and have done layoffs recently as the restructure to the amount of members they have and to what their needs are
Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for the source! Word finally got out- and Humana is still not being transparent because they won't say how many were/will be laid off.
Below is the article from yesterday's insider Louisville site
Humana has cut jobs in its home-based care division, primarily in Florida and Ohio.

According to various tips IL obtained, the layoffs affected hundreds of employees, including nurses — though Humana declined to provide information about how many people were let go.
Spokesman Tom Noland said in an email that the cuts occurred with Humana At Home, a program that identifies patients with significant and often multiple health conditions that are likely to require additional intervention, especially if not treated properly.
The program pairs health professionals with patients to help them learn about and take advantage of their health benefits and to give them personalized guidance to reduce their risk for serious medical procedures. While the program improves patients’ health, it also boosts Humana’s profits and its ability to offer other services because it cuts health expenditures for the most costly patients.
Noland said most of the affected employees are in Florida and Ohio, and that the company’s total employment in the Louisville area remains the same, at about 12,500.
He said leaders of the Humana At Home team said the decision was difficult and “the result of what they’ve learned in the eight years since we started Humana At Home.”
The insurer is providing affected employees with at least 60 days’ notice, severance benefits and job placement assistance, Noland said. “In some cases, these Humana At Home associates will be eligible for new roles within Humana.”
Despite the cutbacks, Noland said that “helping our members living with chronic conditions maintain their highest possible quality of life remains the goal of Humana At Home and a critical element of Humana’s strategy going forward.” —Boris Ladwig

Please check the date on any news you have read of the layoffs. There were 1400 back in 2010.
I don't think anyone knows but the higher ups, and as they restructure programs, that's when we will know, with the confidential conference call. But, if Hcc phc, Che, and Hcc were hit one day, and now snp folks are saying they were impacted AFTER that, it seems rolling layoffs are going on and no one knows the direction or bigger picture on our level
I'm curious myself. I'm an HCCP HCM-RN and have a roster. Were any of us fired? We're all kept in the dark on all of this! I read this forum and it's as unclear as MF's phone call! Does ANYONE know if there is a real plan to lay more people off? Does anyone have any REAL answers? We need to keep each other as informed as possible.
