Doobiedo, PLEASE PM me, too. Out here in the middle of nowhere in W. TX, jobs for RN's are few and far between and offer TERRIBLE pay. I'd appreciate ANY help for pharmacy/medical rep you could offer. THANKS

Do you work at the VA Hosp. or VA Nsg. Home in Marion? My husband and I are thinking of moving there but the VA Hosp. is VERY important for him and we need to know what this one is like. Any info you can give us would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks ...

I graduated and took my original state boards in OH in 1967. I immediately moved to TX and had my license by endorsement here until 1970 when I moved back to OH and resumed working there. I moved to NC in the early 80's and got my license endorsed ...

Hi jo5555, I'm out here in west TX and there aren't any HEDIS jobs out here. When I worked in So. CA, we got a bonus of $100 for every week we checked more than 240 charts. Of course you had to finish the whole assignment and be available to help ...

I'm an RN and was registered here in TX about 35 years ago when DH was stationed here in the Air Force. Do you think that will give me any + help when transferring my registration back here? (I wasn't originally registered here but OH...transferred...

Sorry to be so long in getting back to you but I've been traveling. About November I would start looking on the web-based job sites, (such as Hot Jobs.com) and under key work put HEDIS. Companies generally do training in Feb. so they start early loo...

Hi, I've just arrived in OH to visit relatives for about a month so I was late in getting back to you. YES, the diabetes measures can take FORVER...especially when the charts are 4" thick and NO dividers and the docs handwriting is TERRIBLE!!!! I ki...

Shouldn't tell you this but when I was in So. CA, part of my assignment was the Palm Springs area. It was a tough job but somebody had to do it. HA! HA! Trouble is, by the time you got done for the day, it was so hot and I was so tired, I didn't do...

You are oh so right about the $$$. When I moved to CA I put my NC license on hold. When I requested my CA license I had to pay to re-activate my NC license at full price so they could verify to CA that I was registered. I didn't work there one day...

I did HEDIS the last 3 springs when I lived in So. CA and, as you've said, they can't seem to get their act together to get assignments out in a timely fashion. WE have a time limit but the insurance companies don't seem to know who THEIR clients ar...

I still think once you are registered in ANY state you should be allowed to work in ANY stste...afterall, this is the UNITED states, not Germany, France, Spain, USSR, etc!!! :angryfire

Hi, I've just moved to west TX. :) The last 3 years I did HEDIS chart audits in So. CA and would like to do them here. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.

Hi MissPiggy...welcome aboard. I'm a little east of Midland/Odessa. Where are you?

When we first started traveling we sold everything but a few things we thought we MIGHT want and put those in storage. We said we'd give it 2 years and then re-evaluate. We're still at it. HA! HA! Sold the things in storage. Probably the easiest ...

Hi, I've been doing this for 6 years now. The first few years I did home health care for a private case. The last 3 years I did HEDIS chart audits in S. CA. I only had to work about 4 months a year...made plenty of $$$ and traveled the rest of the...

Marya, it was spring of 2004 that I did the 1200 or so charts. I worked for Molina out of So. CA then. As I said, haven't found any companies to work for so far for the coming Spring audits of 2005. GOOD LUCK!!!

I don't know of any but that doesn't mean they don't exist. The insurance co. I worked for would contact an office if they had less than 6 charts that the insurance company wanted to see. They would ask the office to copy and send the charts (or pa...

Marya, I replied to your post on the other topic. GOOD LUCK

Hi Mayra, I did HEDIS for Molina in So. CA the last 2 years. The year before that Q-Mark from CO did it for Molina and I worked for Q-Mark. I'll do them again in 2005 if I can find a company here in West TX. The pay is so good I've even considered...

THANKS for the info. It sounds a lot like the HEDIS chart audits I've done the past 3 springs. Thanks again.

What is EPSDT and, please, tell me about HealthStart audits THANKS

Hi, I did HEDIS in So. CA for the last 3 springs but I've recently moved to west TX and would like to do this there. Anyone else doing this? In CA I found the ad for HEDIS in the newspaper, any other suggestions how I might find out where it is bein...

We are employed by insurance companies to go to Dr's offices, clinics and hospitals to see if proper care/follow-up is give to patients according to their diagnosis. You are assigned specific charts to look at to find if care is given as the standard...

My cousin, also an RN, alerted me to HEDIS chart audits. We have to go to the insurance company every year for 2 1/2 days of training and refresher and then pass a "test" with 95% accuracy. I looked in the newspaper classifieds the first year starti...

Here in S. CA I get $30 an hour, that includes my travel time also. Plus we get .375 cents per mile.
