Happy Friday!!!!!

I currently work for a large hospital (physician grp side) and being offered an opportunity to code at an insurance company. I was wondering if there are any coders here that currently work at an insurance company or have in the past and can tell me how it was for you...


Thanks!

Hi,

It was one of the most eye opening and enlightening experiences. I enjoyed learning about the payer side of coding and reimbursement. I worked at a managed care plan.

GO FOR IT!!!!!
 
I've only worked in the payer environment for the past 8 years. Like the others said, it's claim and reimbursement driven. Also, auditing plays a big role.

I took the CPC exam a week ago, I want to apply to some jobs but most ask for 3 and 4 years experience, I would be happy if anyone who recently applied for a coding job how did the go about applying without experience.


I am awaiting some advice.
