Centene Corp., through its California subsidiary Health Net, ran a campaign that intended to highlight all the bad things about Sovereign Health. Spearheaded by its SIU arm, Health Net set out to attack Sovereign’s reputation in hopes that the healthcare provider will eventually self-destruct.
The tactic was in reaction to an earlier decision by Sovereign to sue the giant insurance company. The move exposed the crooked ways that Centene and all its subsidiaries conduct their business. No thanks to Sovereign, the insurer felt the impact of the scrutiny that entailed its ongoing legal troubles. It’s unsurprising then that the company wants to exact revenge.
In no time, the Health Net SIU started the work. The marching order from the top was clear – hit Sovereign where it hurts the most. Dig deep and come out with the most damning dirt. Slander until the healthcare provider is reduced to bits and pieces.
Gathering Testimonies For Total Annihilation
When the dirty works commenced, the obvious source of testimonies for Centene were former employees with an ax to grind against Sovereign. The Health Net SIU also exacted unsavory statements from patients, some of whom have obliged to Centene’s prodding of providing details of medical malpractice. Soon enough, allegations of false billings, false diagnostics, and unprofessional handling of patients started surfacing.
Centene went out of its way to get the most disreputable tales from patients previously cared for by Sovereign. Some gave out the answers that SIU interrogators were hoping for. But one patient stood out. Rodney Angus of Michigan let out the truth. He did not hold back and swore that he had a second chance in life because of Sovereign.
Angus: Sovereign Saved My Life
Angus spoke with the Health Net SIU, and his testimony proved to be a revelation. He remembered the facility that he was in for 42 days and described the entire experience as akin to enjoying a top-class resort’s amenities. It was like that he was billeted in a hotel room, and the service was nothing short of luxurious, continued Angus.
During his treatment, Angus said all he received from Sovereign could be best described as life-saving treatment. And the medical professionals who attended to his requirements are all competent.
According to Angus, the therapists who handled his treatment procedures are highly qualified. For him, it was easy to conclude that Sovereign afforded him a new shot and gave a fresh reason to appreciate life.
Notably, the satisfied patient shared how he got into Sovereign’s five-star treatment program. Angus said his treatment was funded by former patients who recovered from mental health struggles and substance abuse. Sovereign’s treatment worked wonders, and they decided that others need to experience the same.
Health Net SIU Missed The Mark
Centene tried to discredit Sovereign by collecting information that will bring the care provider to bad light. Instead, the insurer encountered people who only had good words for Sovereign. The SIU evidence gathering eventually unraveled to its true form – a malicious campaign to bring down Sovereign.
It was a mockery all along. The intention from the start was to hide the sins committed by Centene and exposed by Sovereign. The news soon came out that Centene unjustly rejected the payment claims of policyholders. When more details became known, the company tried to destroy Sovereign. But the move backfired monumentally.
