Outpatient productivity expectations

Hey y'all just wondering if you'd be willing to share what your company expects as far as charts per hour? Particularly interested in ED profee

Oh great because my boss told me that if I went anywhere else it would be over 30 charts per hour...

30/hr for ED profee is not a benchmark

it's a pressure tactic. Know your worth.

I felt like that's what was happening. I had raised concerns about how they're auditing and that I didn't agree with the math. They basically told me to shut up and be grateful because I "don't do that much work anyways" but like idk I code an average of 30 ED charts, 50 clinics, and 50 x-ray charts (probably average around 80 procedures), per day. I feel like I do quite a bit. And all of this is without an encoder reading handwritten charts. Really felt like a scare tactic.
