In Home Risk Assessment NP

[EmpoweredNP]

Hello,

I recently graduated from my masters/NP program and have all of my NPI, DEA, License, Certification all set to go. I am starting a new job in Heme Onc (BMT) in a couple of months and have also been offered a position from an advanced practitioner recruitment site I placed my CV on. It seems to be the typical story where the new NP receives the call for either a full time or per diem position to do in home risk assessments to high risk patients for an insurance company. History and physicals, documentation, patient education, and triage. I have read good and bad things about it.

I live in NYC so I feel like this would be a good fit provided the schedule is strategically laid out in terms of geography. I do not need a car nor do I have one. I would never do this for less than $100/visit, but I see where this could be cumbersome and where you could get stuck making less if you are not good with time management and quick with the technologic skills for documentation.

Would love to hear if anyone has had personal experience with this company or with this kind of job? My first job is primary and will be very difficult, so I am looking really for an easy financial outlet while still optimally caring for patients.

Are they going to give you training on HCC coding. This is the biggest reason they are willing to pay NPs to do these health risk assessments. That is not something I learned in school but did learn it from a variety of insurance companies I have worked for.

Hello! I just saw this message sorry for the late response. They provide minimal training to be honest. I think there are probably continuing education they provide but they pretty much just do a webinar and then ship you out to the field. I'm relying on what I learned and any future queries that I receive and learn from my mistakes. --__--

Can I ask you for any tips you have to make the visit go smoother/more efficient? I was thinking of printing out a list of questions and asking them to review them while I set up my supplies and also review their medications. Then once they are finished, go over their answers and address anything that is positive. That's what we do in the office setting. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated :)
