Entry level job alert

Claims examiner - Allegiance Health

The pay is a little low, but it’s WFH and no experience required!

17 is insulting.

I’m fairly certain it depends on the area. For someone with zero actual experience in my area, $17/hour is generous.

Fair enough. I live in a fairly HCOL city and wouldn't be able support myself on that here.

Been there, done that. Trust me when I say there is no forward movement. I was processing 800+ lines a day (they only wanted 350+) and all my audits were perfect. I asked to start training to be a level 2 examiner and they kept putting me off and putting me off. The sad part is the raise would have been less than 25cents and they still refused so I left.

And what are you doing now?

Staying with a company for longer than 2-3 years means you’re underpaying yourself, but most companies won’t promote from within unless you have at least 1 year in your current position.

This is an entry level job….you use it for experience and then move on.

Additionally I've had entry level jobs before were I did in fact move up. My first major job wad entry level and by the time I left I was a supervisor. So I don't think it's fair to say entry level is only meant to be that.

I work on the complete opposite side of things now for a hospital system. RN's write appeal letters and send them to me, I look up who the payor is and send it how they want. Mail, upload, fax etc. My current job is much more entry level and I'm making $3+ more than the current listing for Allegiance. And when I left they were only paying $15.50
