Pros

They are focusing on communities that need it the most. Faith is a big part of their culture

Cons

Leadership is either incompetent or malicious. They have made changes that squeeze physicians like me and put a lot of pressure on them. They have no idea what it has done to us on the ground. We have metrics that are inattainable and processes that increase admin burden 10x. They say it is to improve outcomes, but it seems it is more about generating more revenue and how much money they can save. It seems the owners want to sell as soon as they can. They tried to sell before and failed - why would they not want this now? Then what happens? It doesn't seem like they care

We are sorry you are feeling more pressure as a physician here at ChenMed. We take these comments and the comments in our surveys very seriously which is why we are currently working diligently to remove and reduce administrative burdens on our physicians and providers. We have a team working on this and studying which activities are most time consuming and prioritizing those first. We at ChenMed have more support staff and smaller patient panels for our physicians to also help. We will never stop working to improve. We are not positioning to sell - actually we are working to thrive in this constrained environment of Medicare Advantage.

Pros

The pay is competitive, however the workload is very heavy. The company does put emphasis on a positive culture, but the teams are in constant fear of lay off, or being let go due to unrealistic productivity expectations

Cons

Bonuses are cancelled, changes are too often, everything is always a priority. The productivity expectations are unrealistic. The other thing is favoritism and nepotism, you will never advance if you are not friendly with certain people. It is very evident that the focus is not on talent when promotions are available.
