| CARE MANAGEMENT |
WELL, RUMOR ON THE STREET IS THAT MAGELLAN WILL PROBABLY BE PURCHASES BY
AETNA NO LATER THAN THE BEGINNING OF 2006, OR THAT AETNA WILL DECIDE NOT
TO RENEW IT'S CONTRACT WITH MAGELLAN IN DECEMBER 2005 HALT OUTSOURCING
THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. MY CONTINUED CONTACTS WITH FRIENDS/COLLEAGUES
WITHIN THE COMPANY GENERALLY DESCRIBE LOW MORALE AND BEING VERY
OVERWORKED WITH TOO MANY CASES AND TOO MANY DENIALS. THIS HAS BEEN AN
ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MAGELLAN SINCE THE MIDDLE OF 1999 WHEN CASES LOADS
STARTED TO INCREASE WITH NO PLAN TO EITHER HIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF OR
CHANGE WORKFLOWS TO MANAGE PATIENT'S CARE APPROPRIATELY. I HAVE FRIENDS
LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT WHO WILL NOT INTERVIEW WITH MAGELLAN BECAUSE OF
THE CASE LOADS, QUESTIONABLE APPLICATION OF MEDICAL NECESSITY
GUIDELINES, QUESTIONABLE CLINICAL DENIALS, AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE
UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY OVERALL AND THE LOWER SALARIES
COMPARED TO THE NUMBER OF HOURS EXPECTED (MEANING ACTUAL HOURS WORKED
ABOVE AND BEYOND THE 7.5 PRESENTED IN INTERVIEWS).
