It depends on how you are paid. When I did HEDIS in CA, I was paid by the hour, when I recently did it on line, I was paid by the chart. If paid by the chart, it also depends on which measures you are doing...some can be 5 min., some 1/2 hour. It also depends on if/how much you get paid for travel time.

I quit my four week long job with Outcomes yesterday. I traveled from Phoenix to Houston to work for them and they made a lot of promises, but kept none of them. I got home to find my first paycheck of $27.70, for which I had submitted a documented work-week of 57 hours. It took two days of arguing to get them to pay up and it is not the amount I was quoted when I accepted the job. I am waiting for an "over-nighted" paycheck right now, but it's already 1030am, so... Do not do anything for these people until you get an e-mail of the terms of your job: hourly rate for travel, per chart rate, expenses, etc. They even tried to deny my expenses for meals! Like I was going to live in Houston for a week and have nothing to eat! They seem very young and immature to me. They have not traveled and certainly have no medical experience. When backed into a corner, each one has lied to me. I am retired at 52 years old and have been doing chart abstraction for over ten years. DO NOT WORK FOR ANY OF THESE COMPANIES UNTIL OR UNLESS THE DEAL BENEFITS YOU!!

Hi Arby,
This site is new to me. I sent you a post earlier today. I haven't scrolled all the way down yet, but I wanted to catch-up with you b/4 U got gone.
Searching for information on getting into HEDIS.
