Question/Advice. I’m currently working as a Pre-Access/Biller for a worker’s comp role with a 3rd party company handling 2 major hospital accounts. I feel severely underpaid as I work claims, pre-auths, follow-up, AR, RTW/atty req/med req/c9 req/approvals, etc. for the WC revenue cycle. Interested in hearing others salaries for the role? Or roundabout? OR WC salaries in general. Also, what’s the next upward career move after working a role as this? Thank you! (I work remotely if this helps)

With all of the market changes to rent, how far in advance do you recommend looking for a new place? I usually looked 4 weeks in advance of my target move date. Has that changed in the last year? (I haven't moved in 3 years so I'm out of the loop).
