Lawsuits against UHC piling up in wake of Change Healthcare attack
Plus: This week's episode of the podcast
Good morning and happy Friday. Welcome to the Friday Pulse Check from Fulcrum Strategies. This is your weekly e-newsletter helping you stay connected to the healthcare stories that could affect your patients and practice.
This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Ron and I appeared to touch a nerve with Aledade. Without going into too much detail, we addressed the issues they had with the program and republished it with a statement provided by Aledade.
They have been accused of Medicare fraud by a whistleblower who was fired by the organization in 2021. Aledade denies the allegations.
They asked us to completely remove the episode, even after we addressed their concerns. We have declined to do so.
I encourage you to take a listen to the episode and tells us what you think. Were Ron and I fair in addressing the seriousness of the allegations against Aledade?
