NEW: When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

Former pharmacist Celeste Player, President of EviCore, makes $500,000+/year denying medical care to insured patients.
Way to put that pharm degree to work for the people, Celeste! Wondering, tho, how much of the high maternal mortality rate for Black women can be laid at your doorstep. Worth it?
The "Doctors" who take these jobs earn lots of money, get like 30 PAID DAYS off from day 1, full benefits etc, and many deny care for medical services they have no background or training in, Cigna/Evernorth/Evicore trains them to DENY.
What's also fun to is that they are now refusing to pay for a diagnostic test if it's performed without prior authorization, even if the authorization later goes through as completely medically indicated.
EviCore can adjust its algorithm to send more prior authorization requests to one of its own doctors for a review, which is more likely to result in a denial.
One of the stories describes how Cigna doctors reject patients' claims without opening their files. "We literally click and submit," one former company doctor said. 👇

You should include a very prominent link to your claim file helper in every story about health care. Just started reading this but didn't see it in a quick skim. If it's there 👍
Wait, the company they hired is Evi(L)Core… really?! Did they go to Nixon’s school of naming conventions? (CREEP was Nixon’s committee responsible for Watergate)
Wait, is it really true that the go-to company for denying needed healthcare has a name that is one letter away from being "EvilCore"? That's so on the nose. I mean, I'd expect that sort of name for the villain's corporation in an Incredibles movie.
that's exactly what it looked like and I did a doubtle take. did they not even realize when they named it? or is naming it accurately the one honest thing they've ever done?

Been squabbling with EviCore almost every single month over prior authorizations.
Insiders call this function “the dial.”
