Good morning; I would love to hear some thoughts and opinions if someone is willing to share.
I am currently employed; love me job. I work with providers/practices on behalf of a Healthplan. Due to conflict of interest I am limited to what (if anything) I can do beyond for additional professional opportunities.
I am closer to retirement than I really want to admit![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Withall that being said; I am starting to explore my retirement options. I do not plan on retiring and not working; I would just like to retire and work for myself or work part time.
I am considering the opportunities that maybe be available with a CEMC or a CPCO. (I currently hold a CPC, CPPM, CPC-I)
Seeing where healthcare is going with Health Population Management, MRA (HCC coding), and now CRA (commercial risk adjustment is at the doorstep) and even PQRS and PPS..... I think the days of a "transactonal system" is limited or short term thinking. This leads me to believe a CEMC may have a shelf life.
On the other hand; with all that is coming at us down the pike... the CPCO really is intriguing me. CEMC is where my comfort level is; like I said - old school girl here LOL. I am thinking now may be a good time to stretch a little inteliectually and work toward the CPCO. I am thinking I will have more options 5 years, ten years down the road.......
It all seems a gamble right now. Would anyone be willing to share their thoughts and opinions?
Looking foward to hearing from you.
