Good evening!

I am an IC, and just started with a FP dr on 9/22.  I want to lose this account!  He is such a cheap AS@!  OMG, he wants to know the exact character count and the way he pays it only equals out to  like 5 cpl!!  My name is getting around town (good rep) and I want to go about this professionally.  Just cant come out and say, "you try and find someone who will work for your pathetic rate!"  I was thinking of just telling them my main account has expanded or something like that. 

Thanks,

Wont work for pennies

Because of the changes coming with world-wide standardization of coding and the yearly changes in the verbage of codes, deletions and additions due to ever changing medical technology, I believe it to be as interesting and complex, if not more so, than MTing.  To be a certified coder, you have to put your neck on the line for jail time...do we do that as MTs?  No, we make the provider take responsibility for the finished product.  The Office of Inspector General holds both the provider and the coder responsible.  With 21 years of varied medical setting experience under my belt, I say even MTing is not as satisfying as winning a debate of a coding issue during an audit with Medicare or Medicaid and setting the standard for the rest of the industry in that particular state for that code.
