Why is no one talking about all the org changes today effective July 1 impacting Medicare? Anyone think this will lead to yet more layoffs?

Maurice is also chairman of the board, iirc... that makes him almost untouchable.
@nt No need to be snarky. Dr. Ernest's organizational update email indicates Dr. Jackson is leaving. Timing was not indicated.
@nt she wasn’t terminated but is leaving for a new job outside her f the company
@np HS was a poor decision and will not be successful but no one will say that out loud to the bombastic buffoons at the top.
@ea False, Dr Jackson has not been let go.
Look at the org chart if you know how.
@mn disagree - my guess is you’re a HS employee. HCSC always intended to use HS as a transition into national. You guys are looking at this, during this current climate, but most of this will not roll out anytime soon, it’ll be over multiple years. It’ll be very different times, and if there is a transition, politically, it’ll will be in their favor.
@hk I think that in fairness HCSC doesn't know what to do with Health Spring. That seem to have been a massive flop that could have cost any normal person their job, but Maurice, for some reason, seems to be immune to accountability. HCSC is a highly bureaucratic organization where things move at a snail pace. Now we are trying to pivot to become a national brand, and the success of that is TBD. In my opinion that will fail.
@jq who?
Josh and Chris gone...
@gr who said expect more re orgs?
Well of course no one is talking about it. HCSC clearly doesn't care about Medicare/HealthSpring.
@ej they said to expect further reorgs (they didn't mention layoffs/rifs) but Idk what else they can "reorg" without impacting headcount
I wouldn't want to be a Sr. Manager now with no direct reports. There is bound to be more layoffs coming.
@c9 we are getting top heavy again and unfortunately the ones at the top are clueless.
Is that it for the Medicare changes?
I think everyone expected worse.
@dz seems like they are moving towards functional alignments across all businesses. It will be interesting to see how that goes.
Not just Medicare. Nm Medicaid is being split up into three groups to separate the business which I’m guessing is to align with the rest of the company.
@cd looks like their senior leaders both left (or were let go) and Medicare teams split up into the HCSC orgs.
@as do you have more detail to offer?
Changes to many operational and IT teams with multiple Sr. Leader departures.
What org changes happened within Medicare? Any context for those of us outside of Medicare?
@OP also surprised that no one has mentioned until now. Hearing significant changes coming to the Healthspring teams.
Yeah I think layoffs are next - this is the part everyone talked about last year, where they’d start to look at overlap, and consolidation.
This is a huge reorg. and not just Medicare. It completely realigns all of sales and marketing and network/ provider relations business, nationally and locally, in every HCSC state. I’m shocked it didn’t go company wide with how much it changes.
@OP maybe it’s because the company is so (deliberately) siloed the org changes are not common knowledge.
