medassurant jobs

Hi
I started with Medassurant in February 09 and worked for them for until the end of March. It was OK. I have mixed feelings. I was suppose to work 24 hours a week and NEVER did the 24 hours. I live in New York. I did more of my hours on line then in the field. I guess that is good for some people but I was not disciplined to sit at computer when I had other things to do around house. There were also times when I went on computer and there was no work for me. As for the field work agin mixed emotions It was nice to meet so many new people but some were not nice - very annoyed that I was there. Some time the assignment took way longer than they said it should and other times too quickly that I had to go home and make up the hours.
In March I had a family emergency and had to take a leave of abscense. Another person I know was told in May no more work "the project ended" They just called her now to go back.
I hope this helps you
If it is for "extra money" I would say try it It was an interesting experience If you NEED the money I would say no
good luck
Let me know how it goes

Basically the job I was doing was checking charts to see if a better reimbursement code could have been used. Medassurant is hired by insurance companies ie government to see if patient fits into a better ICD-9 code.
No typing but use/understanding of computer is necessary.
You get an assignment - doctor's office/clinic/hospital - lists of clients - and you go there on scheduled day - charts should have been pulled for you or computer set up for you - you review chart and look for other diseases not known - you then scan all documents into computer - you go home and upload information - day done
If no assignments in field you review charts online
I also have been a nurse 30+ years Had to quit to take care of mom/mom-in-law who recently died. Was looking for "something different" I would suggest going to differnet job sites and see what is out there There is a lot of different things I did flu vaccine program, college vaccination, temp job of case manager, this medassurant thing If a set salary and health benefits are not a problem go explore
good luck
