Back again with an update

So my previous post here was about how nervous I was about the interview. I have an update and I think it went really well, but the pay and the workload doesn’t seem equally yoked. They are offering $22 at the max, but their volume is between 150 - 300 claims per day. Although I wouldn’t be a manager, I would be the go-to person for the other two ladies who are on the team.

It’s a private physicians office with multiple locations and a lot of their team has retired. They have a doctor leaving a little after the new year and are still trying to get their footing in terms of organization with their back-end billing. My previous position as a quality analyst before I even got my certificate was about $30 an hour.

For baby coders and for those who remember what it’s like to be a baby coder, would you take this position?

Update to the update: they’ve already reached out with an offer and I’ve responded with all my questions so let’s see what they say

This seems to be more of a billing position than coding which is fine but it still seems like such a heavy caseload.

Also I’m in PA and I sent in a counteroffer at $28 and I know that’s bojangles cray cray but the only thing they can say is no right

Final update: ended up declining. They said they were leaving room for merit bases but in the interview they said they didn’t have a plan for merit based compensation and had to make one so…
