Bert and Bill,
Yeah now you see my problem. No we don't have any computers at home exept the laptops which can travel back and forth. Nancy's which really is but an overgrown terminal for AC ususally stays here at the office most nights, while mine that also has our QuickBooks on comes home every night to reduce the possiblity of theft and sometime I do some bookkeeping from home. I actually took the home computer years ago as the main tower that is our P2P server here at the office. Pretty sad right?
But we live in a free market where we providers can tell those punie helpless insurance carriers where to stick it and demand ever unfair increasing payments from them, right? (Note tongue deep in cheek) We can't even afford an extra couple of computers so we can leave one or two at home for fun and homework, both for our kids no less for Mom and Dad. Now that is BullCCHIT.
I wonder what my BC/BS provider reps bonus is for the coming year? At times I think I should very intentionally switch sides in this business. It is where all the money is, right? I can take a hint. If you can't beat 'em; join 'em???
Ya know back when Nancy was with her old big nasty group practice down in Bingo, at least she could simply throw a few charts in her bag on a weekend to tighten up her charting. Look at all this garbage we need to know, set-up and pay for just to let a doc tighten up a few charts at night. The uncompensated part of the business.
I'm going to try and digest the article Bert linked me to and take it from there. Hopefully my eyes won't glaze over like a deer in the headlights. Thanks for sticking with me you guys....
Paul
