Default I really liked it
Interesting, not hard work except you did not have to copy so much of the information like you did the last time I did it. Something about how can the managing company say the adstractor was correct so we had to copy records which of course no one liked. I am sure HIPPA has made it much worse.

Thumbs up HEDIS
I just responded to an add in my local paper for RN Medical Record Review. The add did mention HEDIS. I have been working from an office in my home for 1 year now and contract my services. I do anything from private duty to occas. field work for ins.co. I am familiar with HEDIS' purpose. It is similar to OASIS utilized in home health area and MDS in long term care. I have not worked specifically with HEDIS. I'm glad to talk to some other nurses in this area. I'm sure I can do this job, but it will be my first useing HEDIS. If anyone has any advice, please feel free.

I'm getting ready to graduate and am also interested. How much experience should one have had before getting into chart auditing?

Thx

We get paid by the hour but my cousin in FL gets paid by the chart. The length of time per chart depends on what we are looking for (some may only take 5 min and others we are looking for a lot more items and could take an hour) and also how well organized the documentation is. Some charts have no dividers so you have to look thru EVERYTHING rather than just go to a specific section.

The rest of the year I occasionally do some home care work but mostly, we travel and see this great country
Arby, if you don't mind sharing, how do you get a job like this? Does the insurance company train you, or do you have to take a course on your own, as ICD-9 coders do, before insurance companies will hire you?

Thanks!

My cousin, also an RN, alerted me to HEDIS chart audits. We have to go to the insurance company every year for 2 1/2 days of training and refresher and then pass a "test" with 95% accuracy.
I looked in the newspaper classifieds the first year starting in the fall or winter. After that, if you do a good job, the insurance company will contact you each year when it's time to work again. As I said before, it's only part-time, about 3 months, but it's a nice chunk of change and leaves me free to travel the rest of the year.
