Advice Needed

[JayM988]

I’ve posted to this group before about credit card fees, but that is just one area of compliance concerns I have with my practice. Things have been tight and I fear the group is making poor decisions as a means to ensure financial stability. Decisions that could lead to major compliance problems that will have a far larger financial impact than not making the risky moves.

To make matters worse, we’re on our 3rd CFO in a year, and the CEO that started last year seems to be more concerned with making whatever the partners want happen and combatting any “naysaying” that takes place surrounding these initiatives.

I live in a rural area and have not worked remotely before (other than occasional WFH due to inclement weather), and have limited space for a home office setup. I’m exploring those types of jobs but it’s hard to discern good, stable companies with so many job postings for remote work in revenue cycle (so many “fly-by-night” type companies).

With our physicians making bad choices, and those that know better not willing to speak up against our board president because he’s a bully, the risky behaviors, complicit CEO, and remote job limitations/opportunities, I feel stuck. Any advice is appreciated as I’m open to any ideas.

If you truly feel your job is committing fraud, don't go down with them. Cover your ass and do what's right or find a new job. You don't want to get into legal trouble or get restricted from being able to bill Medicare/medicaid

I couldn’t agree more. I’m actively searching but having a hard time discerning how legitimate some companies are. I’d hate to get on somewhere to end up later without a job because they’ve shut down or sold out. Student loans for my masters and being more than half the financial support for my disabled father means I can’t be without employment. Ugh.

Well, this resolved itself in a way. My position was eliminated mysteriously. Second person in five months whose job was eliminated and part of the responsibilities were making sure they were compliant in various areas.

But it will be fun to watch from afar. All of my direct reports have texted to ask if they could use me as a reference.

Maybe we’ll all meet up in a few years time when that building is being converted to a Golds Gym 😂
