HEDIS nursing?

Published

Any LPNs here do HEDIS from home as a nurse? I am an LPN with my medical coding certificate, but haven't took the CPC-A yet (medical coder exam). I have been wanting to do a work from home nursing job for some time now. I recently signed up for a HEDIS course next month in another state. Has anyone here took a HEDIS course before? I have no experience in it, but am trying to learn more about it and get in to the field.

I'm in the same spot as you. LPN, needing to work from home for a few years and I'm looking at Hedis trainings online wondering if I should spend money on a training that isn't guaranteed to open any doors...

I agree... I'm not sure if this course will help me land anything work from home or not. I have looked at the online trainings as well. The one I am doing will be in person. I thought it may help me understand HEDIS better if someone was explaining it. I am not having any luck finding anything work from home, because I've been a SAHM the last several years. I have been substitute teaching on and off as well at my child's school, due to the great schedule with my kids... However, I would really like to start working in nursing again, because substitute teaching isn't nursing pay... I need to work from home though if possible... I'll let you know how it goes...

Hi, thanks for everyone's responses on this topic! I just wanted to update.. I actually was offered a contract HEDIS job recently. However, I had to turn in down, because I just took a job as a medical coder. I passed my medical coder exam a few months ago. I am currently working remote right now for a local hospital. I think having my LPN definitely helped me get the coding job. After working for a coder as a while, I may start applying for HEDIS positions again. However, I'm going to focus on my coding career for now. ?

Hi andreasmom02,

I'm just seeing this post. Can you tell me where you got your coding training from? I'm looking for a program as well with hopes of becoming a coder. Thanks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

LPNs can be HEDIS nurses? I thought only RNs could be
