When will layoffs occur because we are not getting our fair share of UHC? Many are resorting to the bad behaviors of our competitors that we always despised. Switching insurances in EMR without customer knowledge and lying about other labs participation are two that come up
Your “fair” share? I have news for you, son. The only fair share is the one that you earn. Consider the UHC contract a gift. We did all the heavy lifting, now it’s your turn to walk the business through the front door. Here is another reality check for you. In order to get you the contact you so dearly needed, we had to accept a pathetically low reimbursement, so your clients better double their usual volume if you expect to see anything in return. Hope this helps.
Unfortunately, some individuals, such as yourself, cannot be helped. The rest of us however benefit greatly from the these posts, so speak for yourself, junior.
Not being part of the executive team, as you surely seem to be, I’m even more confused. I thought we secured that contract through value-based care principles where the amount reimbursed depends on certain pre-post analytic metrics and patient outcomes. So confusing. But thank you for taking time out of your busy day.
Confused? Yes you are. But at least you’re self aware enough to know your limitations. There were numerous facets to the contact, the details of which we will not discuss here. Suffice it to say, without the expectation of adequate pull through business, no provider would have accepted the terms. So the bottom line here is that you best not fall short of our expectations. Clear enough, son? Hope this helps.
I'm glad you slapdicks finally figured out how to negotiate with UHC. Maybe we can go "illuminate answers" and get all that business now Einstein.
Quest always has and will continue to buy HMO contracts. Low reimbursement providing they get the exclusive contract. The problem is all the corrupt regional labs that get all the profitable insurances.If they paid on profit margin instead of volume they will understand that exclusive contracts are not beneficial for any big lab.
Start giving back to the QUEST COMMUNITY all the money you stole while bringing the accounts to Sherman. Practice what you preach son.This will maybe give you the feeling of being a good person. Every thief gave back to their communities especially when they needed Tax write-offs. But how many got caught? Plenty! So convince yourself all is good by pretending you did nothing wrong. The good part is everything eventually does get exposed at some point son. Hope this helps
Sorry! Still trying to figure this thing out. Is the “provider” who accepted these poor terms Quest Dx? Is “pull through” all non-UHC revenues? Am I to leverage this contract and re-direct non-UHC work to Quest Dx? Is this contract being used as a lost leader to secure revenues from Medicare, Medicaid and other commercial insurances? And, are these poor contract terms due to (or worsen by) the risk-sharing, value-based care initiatives? Finally, you being an executive from the company, I agree you should not discuss too much here. But with this risk-sharing contract, could these poor contract terms become better for Quest Dx via strong lab quality and patient outcome metrics? This stuff is so confusing.
HTH guy answering his own posts....classic. Dude seek help it’s not too late. What can you expect with erratic behavior caused by drugs
