If you could choose the specialty, what would you choose?
Hi folks,
I’m not a coder, I’m in follow up/denials management. So I hope this post is okay.
My org is restructuring from payer based to specialty based. I’m used to doing all specialties which was nice because I had the somewhat autonomy to choose what to work each day.
Now I have the opportunity to choose a specialty but I’m kind of stuck.
I don’t think I would want to do solely Emergency med or internal medicine, I feel like it would be very repetitive. And to do it nonstop all day… yeesh. HOWEVER, it would probably be minimal phone time with insurance reps. Usually it’s appealing e/m leveling denials.
I do like when High dollar claims(surgery/ortho/oncology/etc) finally pay, but at times I can get frustrated along the way. Especially phone calls with offshore reps. It can be a lot of work, but it is rewarding…
If you could choose, what would you pick and why? Absolutely no patient interaction, thankfully. In case that matters.
