You're familiar with Wellpoint, you just don't knowit. Wellpoint is the largest managed health care, for-profit company in the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield IS Wellpoint.
I am currently working for Wellpoint. They are running the new Virginia Medicare/Medicaid dual demo (this is something that is coming about because of Obamacare), that it what I am doing. Loving it so far. Trained on site for 2 weeks, now I'm home. If you want an employee referral, PM me. :)
I know at Humana, even though they called it "salaried", they did not compensate you for the hours you worked outside of the 40/wk. Like an appointment here and there, without using your PTO....I didn't like that, it was worse than punching a clock, with no OT.
But, you are salary and you would not receive OT. Most desk positions with big box companies are salary. I understand, for I am salary too and so unfair not to be compensated for working over.
Oh absolutely. I haven't punched a clock in over 20 yrs, however I have been granted some type of comp time, for the extra time I have put in. Its not abused of course, but it is a little something, being for being salaried since we don't get OT, is all I am saying. When I worked with Humana, all the hrs of OT I put in, I still had to take PTO when I had an apt or whatever. It was "encouraged" to just take 1/2 day, when an appt was scheduled, if greater than 2 hrs. crazy crazy crazy

Looking to get into a work from home nursing job such as nurse review for insurance company or telephone triage....something like that. Anyone do this for a respectable company and have any advice. I have heard some people working for WellPoint but am not familiar with them. Any suggestions with Humana or UHC companies?
