Worth the Read?: The Path Forward (UnitedHealth Group, September 2020)

This article is part of our whitepaper review series called Worth the Read?, where we boil down HHS industry whitepapers. We believe most whitepapers have little value beyond marketing the producer’s services, and we want to save you time in sorting through what is or isn’t Worth the Read.

Whitepaper Reviewed

UnitedHealth Group: The Path Forward to a Next-Generation Health System

A four-page quick read.

The Gist

Cynical view- A health insurer wants more people to have health insurance. Idealist view- A health insurer in a unique position to have broad impact is putting forth new ideas in advance of significant federal change under an incoming Biden administration.

Key Points

UHG breaks up its overall vision into 4 major objectives:

  1. Achieve universal coverage
  2. Improve health care affordability
  3. Enhance the healthcare experience
  4. Drive better health outcomes

Overall Assessment of Value – WORTH THE READ

Overall this whitepaper is strong on specifics across both Medicaid and exchange verticals. There is solid quantification of multiple pieces of their objectives. And to be honest its pretty interesting to have a behemoth the size of UHG telegraph this type of strategy.

Dickson Co. Woman Charged with TennCare Fraud

MM Curator summary

 
 

TN mother falsely reported she had custody of her so that she could get Medicaid benefits. $9,000.

 
 

The article below has been highlighted and summarized by our research team. It is provided here for member convenience as part of our Curator service.

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Dickson County woman is charged with TennCare fraud and theft of services for allegedly falsely reporting that she had custody of her son in order to obtain TennCare benefits for herself.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG), in a joint effort with the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office, today announced the arrest of 31-year old Megan Hood of Dickson. Both charges against her are class D felonies.

Investigators allege that Hood falsely reported that she had custody of her son in order to receive TennCare benefits for herself.  As a result, the state says TennCare paid more than $9,000 in fees and claims on her behalf.  

“Lying in order to wrongfully receive TennCare benefits will not be tolerated,” Inspector General Kim Harmon said. “Our agency diligently investigates these situations in order to preserve Tennessee’s Medicaid resources for those truly deserving.”

The case is being prosecuted by District Attorney General Ray Crouch of Dickson County.

The OIG, which is separate from TennCare, began full operation in February 2005 and has investigated more than 5,760 criminal cases leading to more than $10.8 million being repaid to TennCare, with a total estimated cost avoidance of more than $163.6 million for TennCare, according to latest figures. To date, 3,100 people have been charged with TennCare fraud.

Through the OIG Cash for Tips Program established by the Legislature, Tennesseans can get cash rewards for TennCare fraud tips that lead to convictions.  Anyone can report suspected TennCare fraud by calling 1-800-433-3982, toll-free or by logging on to www.tn.gov/oig/ and following the prompts that read “Report TennCare Fraud.”
