evolvedMD reviews

If you’re looking to join this company as a BHM, DONT. They are going to try to wine and dine you to suck you in. They are going to try to make it seem like they are paying you more than the “market rate” and will try to sell you that they are SO different than the other mental health care companies out they. They are all about putting dollars into their own pockets. All of the previous five star reviews are written by employees who do NOT work in the field, but at HQ. There is such a disconnect between headquarters and the BHMs who are the ACTUAL revenue source for this company. They do nothing but exploit them. They preach work/life balance but if you're not seeing at least 8 clients per day (or meeting your “productivity numbers”) they will micromanage you until you do. They claim you have at least two hours per day to do documentation, which is laughable because that means you are able to finish all your sessions at exactly the 45 minute mark and spend 15 minutes documenting (god forbid you actually want to try to connect with other office staff, take a breather to decompress, or run to the bathroom). They like to monopolize your lunch hour with meetings too, but will give you a lunch to try to make up for it! , Good luck trying to schedule and use PTO, because you’re still expected to meet the same “productivity numbers” if you do (like what’s the point of PAID time off then?). They will tell you how much they take care of their BHMs. The life cycle of a BHM is 13 months—they leave once the glitter has worn off and they see what this company is actually about. They constantly say they are different than private practice yet say “well if this were private practice you would have to do xyz”. You talk to your higher ups and they just spin things on YOU. You’re made to feel like you’re not doing enough or you somehow could be doing more. There is no accountability from HQ. They want to believe they are “best in the biz” they aren’t. If you’re new to the field, RUN! They are trying to exploit you. There are better jobs out there!

Burnout: - I applied to this job because of the advertised focus on “work-life balance & putting people first”. I have been in the field for several years & have worked in many fast-paced environments. I have never felt more burnt out and depleted than I did working for this company. Your day is filled with sessions, meetings during your lunch, double documentation (you have to document in 2 EHRs), and “connecting with your clinic” (required socializing with doctors to get referrals). - You meet with patients monthly in this model, after 1 year of working for the company, I met with over 350 patients. It is extremely hard to keep track of patients and provide meaningful care. - When I spoke out about burnout, I was either shamed for bringing up the topic or told I needed to “care less” about my patients to make this model work. - I wanted to leave this job after 3 weeks but was unable to due to a 1-year sign-on contract, provided to all BHMs. Leadership: - This was the most toxic company I have ever worked for. In my experience, there was a severe lack of professionalism from leadership. Members from HQ attempt to connect with the BHMs through dinners and training events but have no idea how the day-to-day of a BHM feels. Unfortunately, many managers & leadership members are proficient in gaslighting. - Despite what they advertise, this company is numbers & money-focused. You are faced with micromanaging or punitive interactions if you are not meeting your numbers. Managers in the field push for numbers because they receive bonuses based on their BHM's success. Managers at this company do not have any patient-facing interactions & also do not understand the daily stress of a BHM. - The company is constantly changing protocols & expectations. I understand that this is a developing company but these changes were impossible to keep up with, not to mention my manager never had any idea what was going on or how to support us. - More than one manager consistently & openly talks badly about their staff to other staff. Several managers at this company label and name-call their employees. Not to mention, inappropriate comments were made to me about my appearance and gender. Several BHMs, including myself, have made reports of this. Unfortunately, HQ has been aware of these issues and have not made any changes to address this inappropriate behavior. - Leadership promises “free clinical supervision” but does not have an active LCSW supervisor in the state of Colorado.
