With all the contraversy and discussions about Linkia, one particular trend
should strike fear into the hearts of all independents , their patients AND
may have implications for the FTC.
The implementation of taking over the Cigna provider network has been
completed and termination letters have been sent to the providers that will
not be in the network .Linkia is working with Cigna on building out the new
network.
They have also signed a second provider ,Great-West Life and Annuity
Insurance Company for their network management agreement for their 2
million members.
Linkia is currently in discussions with all of the large regionals or
national healthcare insurance and health management firms in the USA .
I wonder whether Cigna and Great West Life realize that millions of their
policy holders are being treated by unlicensed and in many cases non
certified individuals providing O&P services in 39 states ?
Where is the newly formed O&P Alliance and the Academy in all this ? Do
these organizations represent the interests of independents?
Is this issue not worthy of them to provide a position statement to their
members?
With all this occurring it is interesting to see from Dan Gottry's recent
post Hanger CEO Dumps Large Block of Stock and Karl Entenmann's, CPO post
Linkia and Independents as further reported on the link Hanger
< <URL Redacted>> CEO Dumps Large Block
of Stock that Hanger insiders are liquidating stock holdings.
