Pros

Competitive pay, decent PTO accrual, 5 CME days, and decent insurance if you don’t mind UHC

Cons

Poor work life balance, constantly bringing work home because of the overwhelming number of tasks yet corporate doesn’t seem to to care because they cut down our admin time, little support staff (often let go by the company), most visits are 20 min even when they shouldn’t be (ex preop who needs ekg, labs, and chest xrays), patients wait forever to be seen because upper heads refuse to hire more providers, no referral coordinator so now our MAs are even more over worked, you are basically set up to be over worked and fail

Pros

Difficult to say many positives, as most of the current field staff has either resigned or currently interviewing for other positions.

Cons

Office management, upper management within the company leave staff with unfulfilled promises, ineffective communication, lack of response to questions and concerns that staff members ask on a weekly basis. This office has such high turnover with obvious lack of concern by any of the higher ups within LHC group, Optum, Amedisys. These 3 companies are merging or UHC is purchasing- upper management is unable or unwilling to share exact plans which has been adding to overall anxiety, uncertainty within this office. As staff we continue to be told ‘just hang tight, things will get better’.
