Switching over to Deloitte. What’s the cell phone purchase/reimbursement policy? Is there a steep discount if you buy it through Deloittes portal?

up to $250 reimbursement every 2 years. need to turn in your phone when u leave the firm. most ppl have deloitte phone and a personal phone since u need to sign over your phone number to Deloitte if u want Deloitte info on your personal phone.

Chicago office (not sure if others are different) is if you use your personal phone I believe Deloitte will pay 80% of your bill. If you purchase through Deloitte for a separate work phone, they give you an allowance of $250 total to use on phone and accessories. If cost of phone and accessories is higher than that, you'll pay the difference up front, but the monthly phone bill is completely covered by Deloitte. Work phones have a company-wide plan where everyone gets like 2GB of data per monthly, but they honestly don't do anything if you go over other than email you a notice so you know. The work phones also get hotspot-able plans in case your clients have bad Wi-Fi.

I’ve heard it’s the best to bring a phone, and use the $250 on phone accessories so D won’t keep your phone if you happen to leave? Is this true?

It might depend on what line you work in. I had a separate phone but when I was discussing leaving the firm they mentioned that I had confidential information on my phone at any point while owning it so I wasn't allowed to keep it. You may want to ask around before you buy. I can't imagine that they'd really fight for your phone but they may have to temporarily take it to wipe all Deloitte data when you leave. IT has to add Deloitte apps and capabilities for you, you aren't able to do it yourself for either option, so chances are when you leave they'll have to remove them.

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!

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time.
