Doctors describe changes after UnitedHealth acquired their practices

When UnitedHealth Group took over the practices of three physicians, the changes were gradual at first, but soon became unmistakable. Susan Baumgaertel, Michael Good, and Rubin Hirsch shared their experiences at STAT’s annual summit in Boston, highlighting the loss of control over their schedules and the pressure to prioritize coding their patients’ illnesses.

These doctors felt like they were being treated as mere widgets in a machine, rather than healthcare professionals providing personalized care to their patients. Hirsch expressed his dissatisfaction, stating that the changes implemented by UnitedHealth seemed to do more harm than good.

Unfortunately, the rest of this article is exclusive to STAT+ subscribers. To access the full story and daily market-moving biopharma analysis, readers are encouraged to subscribe to STAT+.

The testimonies of Baumgaertel, Good, and Hirsch shed light on the challenges faced by healthcare providers when large corporations take control of their practices. The shift towards prioritizing coding and efficiency over patient care can lead to a disconnect between doctors and their patients, impacting the quality of healthcare delivery.

It is essential for healthcare organizations to prioritize patient-centered care and support the autonomy of physicians in order to maintain high standards of care and ensure positive patient outcomes. The experiences shared by these doctors serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving the doctor-patient relationship and upholding the values of compassionate and personalized healthcare.
