Health Insurance Cog

I work on the internal business side of a health insurer--truly, I am just a cog.

Focus

Oh Lord, tell me I'm not "sleeping with the enemy . . ."

We (insurers) focus on patients (our primary customers) . . . and there is nothing wrong with that. But we need a broader focus. We need relationships with our members and our providers that are equal in nature.

We do a disservice to our customers (patients) by not having good relationships with health care providers.

In my humble opinion, this is more than cat-herding.
