Wiki WANTED: HCC Coders (Remote Position)

As a matter of interest, why do you say that?

Notice how they are always looking for more HCC coders? I understand the turnover with HCC coders is very high with this company. I know of several coders that went to work for them as contractors and they were treated poorly by their supervisors. They claim they will pay you more than you actually end up getting, have unreasonable chart per hour expectations, change projects constantly without adequate training and often run out of work. Frankly I don't know how they stay in business or retain good coders. I think they get a lot of new coders desperate to get in the field but the seasoned coders don't put up with it. Now I've heard some full time employees like the company but they may be under different management...not sure.

I'm curious as well, I've always heard good things.

*EDIT*
Looks like you were answering when i was typing.

The timing of the post for the opening seems like projects were hiring to be ready for the 1/31/16 due date for 2015 Final RAPS data.

Contract Aviacode Coder Here

I've worked for Aviacode as a remote contract coder on the HCC projects for the last 3 years. The first year was awful, but I think that was due to the client and not Aviacode. Last year was great, and the manager did everything she could to make sure that we were taken care of, even adjusting the pay rates so that we were paid better as the client changed the scope of work. This year the client (not aviacode) is demanding a lot more work, but I've heard that this is true across many clients and this is the direction that HCC is heading. If you don't like change then a coding career isn't for you. My experience with Aviacode has been nothing but positive and I feel like the management there actually cares about their coders. Last year I was making close to $40/hour on the HCC project, this year I'm making $30/hour - you just have to commit to putting in the hours and meeting your productivity.
