THE EXAMINER NEWS INVESTIGATIVE SERIES CONTINUES---CAREMOUNT/OPTUM

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

This is the 10th installment in an investigative series about CareMount/Optum, broader local healthcare issues and corporate medicine.

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.

Well, we now have our answer, and it isn’t pretty.

But before diving deeper here in what feels more like a book chapter than a newspaper column, let me share this: After a year of trying, I’ve finally developed a high-level local doctor source inside of CareMount/Optum ready to corroborate long-rumored details.
