Montefiore Medical Center has confirmed that 149 jobs have been eliminated at its Care Management Organization office in Yonkers.

The office manages physician and provider networks in part to reduce health care costs.

A spokesperson says the elimination is the result of organizational and workflow changes.

Those employees affected by the changes are being offered assistance, including with finding other jobs within Montefiore where possible.

A total of 450 employees will continue working at the CMO.
