Anyone doing HEDIS???

Published

Is anyone out there besides me doing HEDIS this year? Last year I was assigned 800+ charts to audit. For probably 400 of those, 3 of us went to the "desert" area to do them. 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:roll

Need some quick info... I just applied for a HEDIS nurse job in Va with an insurance company. wanted to know if someone could tell me the going hourly rate for this area.

How did your interview go with APS? I am looking at them myself.

I started too late this year. I should've started applying earlier in the year.

Hi! Great info here: thanks. I just received a call to do Hedis in the philly area by a company called Outcomes, Inc. I'd get paid by the chart, work would last 6-8 weeks, and I'd be given a laptop and scanner to visit MD offices to get the info. My questions are: is this a good job and good company? Will the nightmares cited here as far as them not having charts or not knowing I'm coming or having to spend 1 hour abstracting an OB chart and only get $4.50 for it happen to me? And also, how much work is done at home when it is not reimbursed? I'd greatly appreciate any info. because I should reply back to this company in a couple days if I want this job or not. Thanks!

Please, somebody answer me! I don't know if I trust this company or not and if I'm making a bad move even thinking about them. ANY advice?

Phatty, please see the older threads as it relates to Outcomes. I think there is one at the top now. They also called me and I decided to pass based on the threads.

But make your own decision. The thread that I referenced is relatively old and things may have changed for the better. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks: after alot of thought and prayer, I also said "no" to them and feel peaceful...like I escaped alot of stress and anxiety! Thanks for this blog, fellow nurses!

I just applied with MedAssurant. I saw their ad on Craigslist for the SF Bay Area. Are they still considered a company to be wary of? They said travel will be necessary but work is done from home. Confusing.

Has anyone worked for them? Do they pay per hour?

What other companies are hiring for Hedis in the Bay Area?

Thanks......
