If he was a killer, then he’d still be there. Holding companies are the Wild West. Kill or be killed. He would of been on nearly $1Million dollars per year.

You have to be able to do the work and the politics. I know for a fact that when i become CD or ECD I will have to be a 🐍, my agency chairman has lasted over 40 years in the business. He’s a multi-millionaire. He’s good at his job. He’s also very good at playing the game.

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
