So, I have not received a full check or been paid on time since November of 2013. The MCO in this article, Eastpointe, is supposed to disburse payment for services rendered each week. Well, the agency I contract with got one puny disbursement last week after a month of NO money because the creeps at Eastpointe are using a new software program and are having problems implementing it.
I am so fucking sick of these private, corporate assholes stealing money from our fragile mental health system. We work hard to care for the sickest and poorest people and are frequently denied payment for services based on unpredictable technicalities we don't know we're subject to. To add insult to injury, Eastpointe will investigate us for frivolous complaints. I wrote the wrong name on a prescription once and immediately corrected my error. The patient complained to the MCO who opened an investigation. What a waste of time and resources, but I suppose they have to justify their salaries when they're not blatantly embezzling although they know the complaints will not be substantiated. Fucker heads.

Re: Freaking NC mental health system
It's past time something is done. It's been going on so long. The CFO would be easy to reach for a statement had he been where he belongs....in prisons. Ken Jones is a nice person in a lot of ways but evidently, not very smart . I hate it for his family. I personally know the family. They live in Kenansville. Donna, I hope your paychecks are soon on time and not "short". More than anything, I hope the patients get what they need.

I have an Eastpointe agency which owes me $17,000.00 for legal work. I doubt I'll ever see it. The system is corrupt.

That sucks. Totally Sucks. Shin KICKS.
