This is the 10th installment in an investigative series about CareMount/Optum, broader local healthcare issues and corporate medicine.
By Adam Stone
If you’re a patient with CareMount/Optum who ever felt under the weather in recent years, and wanted to see your primary care doctor, only to be shooed away, you may have wondered whether the preposterous inability to secure a simple same-day appointment with your personal physician was part of a cunning corporate strategy or the result of something less sinister.
