Insurance companies do HEDIS this time of year


Posted: Nov 20, 2015

If you are burned out on transcription and want to not sure what to do, this is the time of year when all of the insurance companies start hiring temps to do their annual HEDIS projects.  The projects last 5-6 months and pay well.  Call your local temp agencies and ask about them.  I went from transcriptionist to working on one HEDIS project in 2014, did odd jobs til the 2015 project started, was on unemployment for a few months for the first time in my life and then got hired on permanently by an insurance company - to work at home.  If you want a way out, this is it.  A lot of HEDIS jobs require you to be a nurse.  But not all.  There are tons of administrative HEDIS jobs  - call the agencies, seriously.

I appreciate that I had transcription to do in the good old days - the 90s when my kids were young.  But it got to be too hard to make money and I was so tired of being chained to my keyboard.  If you are looking for a way out I recommend looking into this.

I'm probably dense, but exactly what is HEDIS? Sounds promising! Most anything other than MT sounds promising!!! Thanks for sharing. I can't remember which board I was on, but someone had posted they had found a new position, but wound not share. What's the point in that? If I'm able to find something else, I will be happy to share! Thanks again!

Insurance Companies At It Again! Feb 12, 2010

On Obamacare Insurance Companies Pulling OutJun 22, 2017
Obamacare allows people to wait until they get sick to sign up.

Allowing people to wait until they are sick means the insurance company is basic ...

ACA Requiring Companies To Provide Insurance To Workers Of 30 Hours Or More Per Week.Jan 14, 2014
I just learned that under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) companies with greater than 50 employees are required to offer insurance to all employees who work an average of 30 or greater hours per week.  My company offers us insurance but you have to meet a production requirement consistently in order to qualify for this, and I know a lot of MTs struggle with this production requirement and therefore even if they work 35-plus hours per week they may not make the production requirement to earn a ...

First Time Ever (long-time Voter) Had This ProblemFeb 16, 2016
Every one of them has serious flaws, either of character, personality, world view, experience, or philosophy - and in most cases more than one of these - that I simply cannot stomach. In my experience, it's always a choice between the lesser of two evils, but this election cycle seems to have brought out a spectacularly miserable collection of candidates.  And yes, Sanders and Trump supporters, I mean them too - or perhaps especially them too. It looks like I'll be sitting on my ...
