      Pros

      Healthcare Tech is an interesting as well as challenging area to be in. With many new innovations trying to integrate themselves into older legacy infrastructure that exists in an older dependent industry. Great place to learn and apply a bunch of skills.

      Cons

      If your good at putting out fires, or ramping things up quickly to prove points. You can get shuffled from fire to fire till its fixed. While it keeps things interesting for the short term, slowly it can wear on you.

      Pros

      Able to work from home

      Cons

      Full time work doing utilization reviews for routine outpatient psychotherapy. 20% of all review must be referred to a 'higher level review' which is code for denying ongoing outpatient therapy. If you don't refer 20% of cases for those higher level reviews or 'peer reviews' you won't be meeting your metrics and could be let go. The whole department is a scam. It's meant to 'offer savings' to employers who offer Optum to their employees, but really it's a way to deny outpatient therapy to members to put more money in the CEO's pocket.
