Moving Right Along

Last week, on the 28^th, Lauretta got her first sonogram.  I’m just bubbling over with excitement for her and Thomas.  I can’t wait to meet that perfect little circle! The sonogram picture’s above  

 

And in other nail biting news, tomorrow I finally get to start training for the Overlap Team!  It feels like I’ve been waiting forever, but it’s here.  Can’t wait.  Rebecca, my new team lead, brought me a packet of information for Overlap.  It was really sweet and thoughtful of her to do that.  Now I have the source pages to take notes on while I train, and I can drop those right into my Unique Binder.  Nerd-tastic!

No Work and No Music make Michelle a Dull Girl

So today I have no work.  My usual workload that I use is Richmond and then 2 smaller areas that maybe have 10 claims a day, but when I signed in this morning I had an email saying not to work Richmond because it downloaded incorrectly from corporate.  We had over 2,000 claims and that's a little less than half of the workload for the whole day.

 

I'm already out of work by 7:40 AM, hence the blog this early.  I love IT mishaps.

 

Erin, my team lead, didn't get 15 minutes to herself before i was at her desk looking for work.  I feel bad, but I'm counted on how fast I work claims and if there are any gaps in my work, the boss people notice.

 

And to top off today even more, I forgot my iPod at home.  I thought I wouldn't need it so I didn't turn around to get it.  Silly me, I should know better.

 

Hopefully, I can work my claims later in the day because I need to make up 20 minutes of leaving early the last 2 days and I can stretch my work until then.  We'll see.

New Workload Please

I wish today would end!  Doesn't seem like its going to. 

 

I'm supposed to start a new group, but I dont know when.  It'll be even more interesting than what I'm doing now.  I adjust claims.  I thought there'd be more to it.  There's not.

 

The new group will be the Overlap team. That's when a claim has dates of service that overlap the another claim of the same patient.  The claims can actually share the same services, but for some reason the hospital gets them mixed up and bills the claims separately.  My job will be to figure out how to combine the claims.  We're talking thousands of dollars in revenue and hundreds of lines of services and meds.  I can't wait.  It'll be one big puzzle.

 

I'm such a nerd... love it!
