Opinions on working at Aetna and/or Optum (UHC) for CM/UM

Published

Does anyone work or previously worked for Optum or Aetna? I have a CM interview coming up with Optum and have 2 upcoming interviews for Aetna- UM and CM (A1A kind of unclear on what that means exactly). Can anyone give any insight? Did you enjoy it? Meeting metrics, etc?

I left my CM position at another insurance company to work in Quality and I absolutely hate it (and the pay) and wish I’d never left.

A1A is just Aetna One Advocate - kind of like their premier insurance plan clients. You'd probably be dedicated to certain accounts for commercial plans (think companies like Exxon, Dell, Costco, Walmart, etc.). But that is just a guess. Good luck!

Makes perfect sense. Thank you!

How'd the interview process go? Did you end up at one of the companies?
