Hello all, I finally found a front end job in a private practice after 3 temp corporate gigs. I had such high hopes! I was very clear when interviewed that I had zero experience doing any type of billing, particularly on the computer. I am not afraid of computers, and have worked in several different databases in different medical offices. When I started the job I was given minimal training on billing patients out at end of the visit. Six weeks in I am called into the bosses' office and told he had "expected me to be farther along by now". I expressed that it is unrealistic to expect me to be as knowledgeable and fast as my coworker who has been there 10 years.
I have found this to be the way offices work these days- minimal training, minimal to no support and an attitude of obligation (i.e. you owe me b/c I have given you a job ) . I'm tired of this disposable culture. There seems to be no desire to live up to the actual job description. Experience and customer service skills count for nothing it seems.
Suggestions? Job leads anyone? Please.
