I'm in Texas. I have diabetes type 2 but all my A1C numbers have been great. You think perhaps that's why Wellcare doesn't require any check ups whatsoever? I'm 66 and have never been checked for anything except my diabetes about 10 years ago and that was before I had health insurance. (paid out of pocket). I'm sorry I rant but when I see the royal treatment my wife gets it pisses me off that my company "hides in the shadows"-so to spreak about my health. You guys are the experts. Shouldn't I have had some type of check up by now?
I don’t think that Wellmed customers all necessarily go often to see their doctors. I don’t know if Wellmed innovated this or not, but local lore seems to tout it. In the 90s, WM invested a lot in disease management to control chronic conditions.
Then, it used something called “RAP” scores to bilk more $ from Medicare. It was and is getting more $ to care for these supposedly chronically ill patients.
No other medical group has even come close to managing these conditions as well and even offering heavily discounted drugs for its members who qualify.
To qualify, they don’t even need to be dead azz broke like so many programs. WM even has a department that will renew and qualify its members for Medicaid as well.
Love it or hate it, it cannot be ignored.
Are you yourself an agent?
