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.

Thanks for the info, Arby!!

This year I have 1274 to do by myself and possibly 6 or 7 hospitals yet to come. Think I'll just have my breakdown first this year

Did some other stuff in the 60's does that count ?

Do you know of any telephonic Hedis that could be done from a home office?

I don't know of any but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The insurance co. I worked for would contact an office if they had less than 6 charts that the insurance company wanted to see. They would ask the office to copy and send the charts (or parts there of) that they wanted to see. We had to actually look at the chart and verify the info when we went to the offices/hospitals to audit.

GOOD LUCK and let us know if you find something that can be done from home.

I've recently moved to TX and, so far, have not found any HEDIS audits being done in my area...sure hope to find some.

Would you mind giving me the name of the company who you are doing 1200 plus charts for this year?
I am interested if they need more hires.

Marya, it was spring of 2004 that I did the 1200 or so charts. I worked for Molina out of So. CA then. As I said, haven't found any companies to work for so far for the coming Spring audits of 2005.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Be extremely careful about a company in Kentucky. They were extremely unorganized - had just quickly moved from North Carolina (wonder why?).
I was never paid for the the two day training and was only paid for half of the charts I reviewed. Needless to say, I did not work for them very long!

If you are in this area and interested in the name of the company - personally e-mail me.

missed it

I just applied and all the review positions were already filled for the spring! Shoot. The service area was a 150 mile radius/multiple states.
