BUCKEYE COMMUNITY HEALTH PLAN- A TOTAL DISGRACE TO MANAGED CARE!!!!!!!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Direct Line Staff who demonstrated competency and professionalism under extremely toxic management; Direct Line Staff who care about their members and providing the best service they can, despite working in an environment not designed to promote success!!

Cons

I'm convinced when they hire for managerial positions, having a severe Personality Disorder is required!! The management from the top down with this plan is the worst I have ever seen!! This plan has a horrible reputation among its healthcare provider network. Buckeye Health Plan is also not highly regarded by the State!!!! If you are considering a position with this organization, be ready to lower your standards as a Professional!!!

Pros

There are some very knowledgeable people in this company with awesome people skills.

Cons

Even though there are knowledgeable people here within this company, they are not being used to their fullest potential. They are being micro managed & treated as if they have no ability to think for themselves. If you are not a "yes" man, there is no room in this company for you to advance.
