LifeWatch still letting good people go...

Well I am sitting at my cube here in Rosemont, not doing a goddamn thing. And why you may ask? Because 30 people around me just got fired. Yup, 30...Gotta love LW. I am about to walk into a "townhall meeting" with the whole company to receive an explanation for all the firings. Why couldnt they just of fired me as well, take me out of my misery! I dont not want to go to this shit and listen to a bunch of jewish assholes tell me its my fault for the company downfall. Hopefully those fat asses over in IT will track this post back to me and fire me as well. I will keep everyone updated on the meeting.

No shit... what's the deal?

I heard 50 people not 30. Either way, LW is fucked... And yes Brent is gone. Joe, Mac, and LAK which one will be the next choice to lead the team?? And then of course to be shown the door after a year.....
 


















Rumor has it that technicians lost the jobs do to outsourcing to India. The data will now be initially reviewed in India. I am sure that Physicians will appreciate that. Just another piece of information to steal more business away from LifeWatch.
 


















Sorry, but it's not BS and they really are being outsourced to India. You have to wonder at the logic behind these kinds of decisions on the part of LW.

No way, you must bill out of the state where the work is being done. CMS doesn't have a reimbursement schedule which covers India. No way this is true.

US Radiology, CT, and more interps are done in India routinely! Our day is their night!!! Hey Phil, get with the program and start thinking instead of replying on this site! And we wonder why we have no new national contracts?

Those modalities are not germane to this conversation. CMS requires certain elements of our space to be in place. Maybe if CMS decisions on cardiac event monitoring were left up to the LCD boards and not a national coverage policy, then your parochial observation would have some potential justification. Continuity of care is a big concern of CMS and is why they used to frown on physician offices doing the monitoring during normal business hours and outsoucing to a service ( US based ) at night. They most certainly will not condone outsourcing to another country. It is why most state medicaids require that the service be located within that state- it is the same guiding principle. Even if you were correct, it only opens the door for other companies to capture more business, because the service will most certainly collapse. It should give our reps something to help them and maybe they will finally grow up, accept some responsibility and sell something other than the smut on this site.
