Vantaggi
I've been a coder here for five years. I work from home, but I still feel very involved with the organization and my input is valued. Every time I have brought up an issue it is taken seriously and I get the help I need from my manager, my manager's boss, and even the director of the agency. There are meetings set up, teams pulled together and we figure out how to resolve issues. I have been pulled in to several LEAN projects because they get all of the stakeholders together to design new processes and procedures. The pay is above market. I get two raises a year and a retention bonus every year since ICD-10. They are looking into getting a new electronic record system and they actually asked me what the coders need to be able to do our jobs. Usually, they only consider the clinical and billing side of things. I love my job. They are very receptive to coders learning different types of coding so we don't get to bored
Svantaggi
My boss does not micromanage, which is great, except when there is an employee who doesn't pull their weight. I don't think my department has ever been audited(we are a specialized coding group and my boss doesn't know a lot about it). Luckily, my team is pretty good at accepting feedback and we check up on each other.
