I worked at a Health Tech Silicon Valley company and our clients were healthcare companies. Our job was essentially to delay and put up barriers to care. So before they could see a doctor they would have to call us, go through the computer system, get routed to a phone doctor who would suggest cheaper things than what they really needed, give them a bunch of hoops to jump through before they could really get the thing they needed.
A big part of my job was to re-route people who needed wheelchairs into getting cheaper things. Our clients were United Healthcare, unions, large health insurers.
It sucked working there it was a total hellhole. I quit when they actually defrauded medicare. Their glassdoor reviews were wild. The owners daughter bragged about dating a glassdoor exec and that he would take down all the honest bad reviews for her.
If it’s not up to health insurers to limit healthcare spending, then which organizational role in the healthcare system do you think is appropriate to place this responsibility with?
