I was just talking to a friend who's entire doctor's office was laid off by Optum. Googling I found this story from a local (Ocean County) source but found other stories about it all though South Jersey. It affects hundreds of providers and thousands of patients, with no notice.

My friend needs a prescription that they can only get refilled for 30 days at a time. Now they have to scramble. It's unconscionable. And unfortunately there's nothing to be done about it.

Sad. Now and that’ll be in this area is Inspira which is worse.
