I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND - Physician WellMed Medical Management Employee Review

There are several thing wrong with this organization. The pay is significantly below Austin average and benefits are standard. I encountered a leadership team that had a strong tendency to be manipulative, dishonest and intimidating. I personally received orders from both staff and physician supervisors to bring medicare patients into the clinic to flip them into purchasing the HMO insurance and when they did not, you are ordered to reschedule patient the following year regardless of severity of illness. This is illegal, they wont write a mail or even announces when they sporadically appear in your office to pressure you and or you may receive an unexpected phone call during the day telling what needs to be done or you may not have a job later. You will spend hours 2-5 hours after work just about every day including some weekends doing paper work and data mining charts. You will also be pressured heavily to get your risk scores as high as possible even when you do not feel comfortable about some of the diagnosis. You will be heavily micromanaged to increase risk adjustment scores, will spend about 8 hours per month on meetings on risk score increments. PTO is rarely taken for fear of retribution and because of the large workload. There is constant turn over of medical staff b/c of toxic environment and bias treatment of some staff members, especially the MAs, I have witnessed the supervisor yelling out loud at some of them. The CMO once gawking about how the CEO has a poster that reads "the early kill alerts the herd" and he is not afraid to using, at he same time one physician teared at this meeting b/c of under-staffing for several months just one MA, one receptionist and the provider running a busy clinic. I was constantly understaffed.
