15 DAYS NO HEALTHCARE PAYMENTS TO PROVIDERS.
AMERICA: HOME OF A DISASTROUS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
Optum/ChangeHealthcare:
Cyber attack on 02202024 knocked out all clearinghouse services for the majority of the east coast for any healthcare provider, pharmacy, hospital, etc., that uses Optum/UnitedHealth Group to process health insurance claims.
Providers cannot even verify your benefits still, we must see our patients in good faith that their insurance will cover the visit. Even though 1/5 times they won't. Providers are being screwed and ignored. Small businesses are hurting. Private and group practices cannot pay overhead. This could turn into a nightmare of indebted and out-of-work healthcare providers quite easily.
NO CLAIMS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED. NOT A SINGLE INSURANCE PAYMENT HAS COME THROUGH.
THERE IS NO CASHFLOW.
ENTREPRENEURS HAVE PAYROLL, but no incoming payments.
(Aren't small businesses the backbone of the American economy? We employ 50% of the nation collectively! Hah! Well s**t, thanks for all those taxes and complete lack of oversight to protect us.)
?!? WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?!?
UnitedHealthcare - What are you doing to protect your constituents? Oh, nothing... thanks for that "we're sorry loan" - that will help me pay my staff for... uh... few days.
The cyberattack that disabled operations at Change Healthcare has hampered healthcare billing and payment operations and other processes.
