Anyone else find that working front desk in healthcare can be extremely stressful at times or am I just an easily stressed person? I work in a very busy and well known orthopedics office. Some days I want to tap out (mentally) by 2:00.

Looks like this is 18wks ago? I just joined and this is my main reason! Stressful is an understatement. I have to mentally prepare myself each morning and even then I’m not sure that helps. I never know what kind of day I’m going to have

Healthcare is never easy but it can be the most rewarding job ever. I loved being a nurse no matter how tough it got! I can remember a patient pulling out all his lines in the hospital wouldn't listen to anyone, not even his wife, only to see him walking down the hall in the hospital 6 months later. I asked him if he remembered me? He did not because he was going into "shock" when he had been hospitalized prior. He had no memory of that day or what transpired. So just keep in mind when people are hurting they are not "themselves" and not to take anything personally. Sometimes keeping that in mind, helps to relieve the stress of any moment or circumstance. Having insight is part of the healthcare professional's life.

Recommendations for firms to look into in South FL? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but am open to Boca or Miami. I'm a first year associate in ID (coverage issues) but really would prefer transactional work. More importantly though, I'm looking for companies who pay relatively well (doesn't necessarily have to be market), are open to remote/hybrid work, aren't sweatshops. I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?
I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Of course situations differ but in general?

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.
