I GOT A JOB!!!!
i am a MEDICAL CODER at last!!!!
and i will make my deadline for childcare assistance by the skin of my teeth! (as usual like everything i do, lol)
and not only that, i think i got some of my friends from school jobs too!
i'll be working for LHC - a home healthcare & hospice company. the 3rd largest in the nation. its in 7 states and expanding (hopefully into north carolina so i can move to asheville eventually!)
with all the changes in medicare/medicaid/blue cross reimbursements, they needed to create a new coding department. so they're hiring 12 more coders which made me a shoo-in (sp?).
they're putting me on salary and i'll have benefits - both of which i have NEVER had. i finally have a real grown up job, yay me! and its what i was hoping to start at too! only catch is that because of the salary, i may get dropped from child care assistance but like my mom said - i've been getting a free ride long enough.
i'm just so happy about the pay and the fact i will actually be strictly coding and not billing or handling the boring insurance paperwork. i will be researching medical diagnoses (which i love).
