amedisys question

[nbkyky]

First, let me say I have read all the previous posts. Many of them are quite old and I am looking for up to date info.

I recently interviewed with Amedisys and was given an idea of what I could expect pay-wise. It just is not making sense to me and I'm trying to figure out if I have misunderstood something.

Where I am currently at I get 2X my regular rate for a SOC & ROC and 1-1/2X for a recert. At Amedisys they would pay me $11 more for a regular visit than what I currently earn. Sounds great. But, they have a flat rate for OASIS that is the same for everyone and it works out to $12 less for a ROC, $2.25 less for a recert and a SOC is $8 more. If you work at Amedisys does your office have this big a discrepancy between the regular visit rate and Oasis visits? I just assumed that at most companies if they say a SOC counts as 2 units, 2 points whatever it would mean 2X your regular visit rate. I'm being told my rate would be $40 for a regular visit but only $45 for a recert or ROC and $65 for a SOC.

Please tell me I misunderstood.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I don't know about Amedisys, but I do not get 2x the rate for a SOC. Depending on where you are $40 for a visit is OK, maybe a little low. I get $5 more for high tech (whoo-hoo) and $10 for a ROC or Recert. I get slightly less than 2x for a SOC (I am in the Chicago suburbs)

I would be very direct with them to find out what this means in dollars and cents, so that you can make an informed decision. However, a little voice tells me that you probably are not talking about a better situation paywise.

I would not work for Amedisys ever again. Not only are you screwed on the OASIS rates, the amount of work that goes into their OASIS assessments is far and beyond anything I've ever seen anywhere else. The other threads may be old, but they are still appropos.
