INTERVIEW WITH THE DIRECTOR OF TUFFS HEALTH PLAN, DON CRUMBLY BS: Today I have with me the Director of Operations at Tuffs Health Plan, the dude who makes all the decisions, Mr. Don Crumbly. It’s good to have you here Mr. Crumbly. DC: I know. BS: How do you respond to some of the criticisms that your company gets about not paying out claims and generally giving doctors a hard time. DC: I don’t. BS: You don’t respond? DC: Not unless dey get on my nerves. Den I send my boys out. BS: How do you mean? DC: Dey, uh, resolve the conflict, know what I’m sayin’? BS: Oh, conflict resolution! You have classes on that? DC: Yeah, we get together in a room, and we uhhh, talk it over. Basically we tell ‘em to say what’s on their minds, and we say dat’s nice, but we’re right so shut your f*****’ face. Sort of like sexual harassment training. BS: You’re so progressive! DC: And if that don’t work, Vinny works on ‘em. BS: Vinny from Tuffs? DC: Damn, you’re good. I think you’re sick though. You on our plan? BS: No. DC: Why not? BS: I’m on this other HMO. DC: You wanted to interview me, but you ain’t even on our plan? BS: You don’t pay for anything! DC: You’re goin’ down a**hole. BS: What about conflict resolution? DC: What a codependent mother f*****. Vinny!
