Vantaggi
Before this company's company (USMM) sold out to Centene Corp, they saw mostly home bound Medicare patients under a 3-year Centers for Medicare/Medicaid (CMS). The demonstration worked well.
Svantaggi
Then in 2016, Centene bought out USMM and VPA. Immediately the patient population changed from elderly homebound Medicare, to non-homebound Medicaid. I was totally led to believe when I joined the company, that I would be a geriatrician seeing elderly people. What a lie! I quit! These latter Medicaid beneficiaries were rude, demanding, entitled, learned-helplessness, severe drug abuse of Hydrocodone, Oxycontin, Xanax and anything Scheduled. They demanded their drugs be continuously refilled and attempts to ween them down were always met with contempt. Unless you can't get job someplace else, reconsider this VPA company. They are deceptive and dishonest.
