The company says it is protecting nursing home residents by curbing unnecessary hospital transfers. Whistleblowers allege cost-cutting tactics have endangered the elderly
Because instead of a physician deciding whether or not someone is transferred to a hospital for treatment - which the insurance company is liable for - the insurers decide who goes or doesn’t go. Seems mostly doesn’t go is their first option, no matter the need.

Okay, but I’m asking how they profit from that
Because they aren’t spending their money for the ambulance service and treatment of the patient at the hospital.
They’re not profiting by increasing their bottom line. They’re doing it by not paying healthcare bills for the patient.
