Hello!

Has anyone heard of eqhealth solutions? I am about to have an interview with them for a pediatric coordinator position. Is this a good company to work for? Any info would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the site.

I moved your thread to the General Nursing forum where it should get more response.

I just started with them in July...did you get the job? are you home based or out of tampa?

Hi! I have an interview coming up. How do you like the job? Is it a great company to work for?

I am only familiar with the home based care coordinators. I'm not sure how it works when you work at the offices. So far I really like it alot. There are days it can be a lot of work and there are days it's not so bad. I am home based though. Been with them since July 7th. So far I enjoy it, and I have a great team I'm in. I did case management for adults for almost two years so it was pretty easy to switch gears and work with children/families. Most of my case load goes to the PPEC (medical daycare centers) and it can be challenging working with those providers at times. I'm in school online for FNP which I take classes in the evenings so everything fits well with my schedule. Let me know if you have any other questions.

That's great! I have an interview on Monday and I am super excited. Do you do a lot of home visits and if you do who goes with you? How many are in your case load?

EQ will not allow you to have more than 40 on your case load. I have 6 private duty nursing kids...and the rest are PPEC. What area are in? Tampa? South FL? is it a home based position or office position?

Home visits are done 2X's per year on PDN kids, and 2X's per year at the PPEC (go to the daycare not the pt home). There are medical treatment team meetings that can be done over the phone with the physician, family, and provider (home health nursing or PPEC center depending on which case they are) via conference calls. We also do all prior authorizations in the system for Medicaid for these kids as well to authorize the services. It's alot of different tasks, including making your monthly phone calls to the parents, checking insurance eligibility, scheduling the medical treatment team meetings etc and will take about 2 mo to feel really comfortable with things. For the home visits i went to 3-4 with another care coordinator until I felt comfortable. Now I just go by myself. We have weekly team meeting conference calls, and monthly full company conference calls. I've only had to travel an 1.5hr away for ONE mandatory in person meeting thus far. There are always trainings that will be scheduled for you too, which can sometimes really mess up your day so you have to be able to prioritize and also "roll with it", when things come up. =) I hope that helps and good luck with your interview!

Sounds good! I am in the South Florida area and I believe it is going to be home based. Thank you so much for all of your help....Now I am super excited.

Did you get hired? It's a pretty great company. Lots of work and can get hairy with all the training/meetings but I love the home based feel to it. It's worked out great for me while I continue my education

Yesss I did!! I started last week!! I truly thank you for helping me learn about the company. It is a lot of work. I am now just trying to organize my caseload and I'm starting to do my introductory calls.
