Hello,

I recently applied for PT 1099 Contract work for Ion Healthcare & I took the coding test, I hadn't received a response, so I called there today & was told my score was in the 70's, and that you have to have at least 80 to be eligible for hire, I was told that I can retake the test in about a month, and to just look at their website then for notification on it & retake it. Wondering if anyone out there has re-taken this test, or passed the first time & was hired??



Thanks for any feedback!

I tested with ION and passed first time with no problem. The questions were not tricky or complicated in my opinion. This will not be much help, I am sorry. Perhaps it was nerves. However I code using a code book always and know the coding guidelines.

I took the assessment test for ionhealthcare and I know I didn't pass because I haven't heard a response back from them yet. I wonder if they would also tell us the answers. :confused:
 
I pass the ION Healthcare test and it was not hard at all. Yes, I used both ICD9 and ICD 10. Plus had no clue about RA, I guess been in the medical field and goggle the answer help me. Great Company, Re-test and for more info. check out Medicare website on Risk Adjustment. Hope that help, Make it Happen
