"Start slow, the 80 hrs minimum/Mt will take 8-14 days to complete. You have to do alllot of typinf, so may want to take lessons if you are not a good. Avoid the 4 weekend day option if possible, poor pay and hard work. Speak to other Dr working there for their experience."

What don't you like about working at Executive Health Resources?

"Pressure of productivity, having to complete target goal regardless of the complexity of the cases. In clinical practice there is also pressure to see so many patients per hour or day. its the same here, mental stress, but if you make a mistake here no one dies. Can be isolating especially if you work from home, there is no peolpe contact, its all computers. The cases are not easy, its nothing that you was thought in medical school or normally do. Its the boring stuff the SW/case managers do to check compliance status. It dose get easier as you go along, learning the algorythms and compliance rules, but you still feel the pressure of productivity."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be realistic with the target goal set. Training has to do more real cases, the training was a breeze but it does not prepare you well for the real world experience and pressure. Up the pay."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"EHR cannot run with out doctors to review the cases, thats the principal of EHR compliance review; you have room to negociate, they need Dr.Do not work the 4 weekend day model, they will abuse you, poorly pay, stressful and locked in for a minimum of 6 mts.Dont trust the recriuters, they sell EHR as a pot of gold, you will be making so much money working from home. It's all BS, you will see little bonus and allot of stress.Like anything else in life if it seems too good, be careful. This is not a job for Dr who like clinical medicine, if you have no other choice, tell yourself you like it and be prepaired to swallow your pride, take allot of BS and little reward."

What don't you like about working at Executive Health Resources?

"Not what I was expecting or was told. This in not an easy job. Its high pressure, demanding, the TL/team leads are always on you to do 3 or more case an hour. You have to review the medical records, numerous pages, calling the doctor to clarify issues, whom dose not want to talk to you, and are often are rude, insulting. often insufficent information is sent in and you are expected to call to get updates, wasting your time. and if at the end of your shift you are not at your quota, they dont care. The salary is on the low side, you are told to make it up with the bonus by doing more cares per hour, almost impossible to do. I break my back, and has shoulder and neck pain by hunched over a computer scrambling for case to do, has not seen any bonus. Do not work the four weekend model, the bonus is $ 2000.00/year or $153/month which is absurded, and you work like a slave, mimimum 8 hours on the weekend. This is not the cushy job they sell you, it is demanding, demeaning at times, will poor rewards, you are doing nothing to help patients, its a money buisness."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be honest when advertising the work/ job description to be done. Be fair with the pay. EHR gets about $ 299.00 to review each case from the hospital and Dr are expected to review 3/hr or bring on $ 897/hr to EHR and you are paid $ 70.00/hr or $23.00 per case. The Dr who does the work, use your knowledge, expertise get $23.00 and EHR get $ 276/case. Big profit for EHR, which was just sold to united health care for 1.4 Billion$$$."
