They are an Indian company, constantly hiring. I don't know anything else about them.

They have QA, Team Lead and higher-ups in the USA. I work for them for about 2 years now. I think they are ok. I am paid on time. The only "downside" is that sometimes there are no jobs available.

I am currently working for focus as a QC. I have so far had a very positive experience. Yes, they do have an India counterpart and they do offshore. But, on the flip side, they also have a large US-based operation as well, and just recently started having US-based tech support as well for the US-based MTs.

I was really rather impressed, as the line rate for QC is better than I have seen most places in a long time, and they actually do pay a decent shift differential, at least on the team I am on. We get paid more after 6pm.

I have always been paid on time, and have very rarely run out of work. My team lead is good about not overhiring, and if there is no QC work, there is always plenty of transcription/VR work also.

Anyone Has Applied Recently To Focus Informatics?
Jan 14, 2010

Wondering if anyone has applied recently to Focus.  A couple of months ago I had tested and went through that whole process successfully when the recruiter sent me an email with the minimum computer requirements; operating system 32 bit, XP or VISTA, 1 GB RAM, 1 GHZ processor, etc.  It was the 32-bit system that was the killer (mine was larger).  When I went to see about purchasing said computer, I could not find one as a 32-bit is an older out-of-date system.  Then I checked out E-Bay, ema ...


Is There Any Other Contact Number For Focus Informatics.....
Mar 05, 2010

besides Freddie Martins' number?  His is the only number I have and I have emailed him a couple of times and called one time, but no response back yet.  I was hired with Focus and supposed to be starting hopefully the 9th, but I have not gotten a response from sending in my I-9 form or the other forms they were supposed to send me.  Was thinking maybe something unexpected happened with Freddie for him to be out and may need to contact someone else for now?  But no contac ...


Anyone Here Taken Or In The WGU Informatics Program?

I have my AA in HIT and have my RHIT and I'm looking at the WGU program to get my RHIA.  Has anyone taken or in this program?  I see that this program has a lot of computer courses and computer certifications.  I'm kind of worried about that part as I've never been good with computers and have a hard time retaining computer knowledge.  Any experience with this program? ...


Getting Out Of MTing, Looking Into Health Informatics
Aug 24, 2011

I am getting out of MT and looking into the Health Informatics program.  I have a 2 year degree in HIT, but my problem is I don't know where to look for a bachelor's degree in Healthcare Informatics.  When I research online I find only master's degrees in informatics or other universities require you to have an RN degree or IT degree.  I saw someone post here that they were getting their bachelor's degree in Informatics but cannot find that post.  Anyone k ...

In The Health Informatics Course I Am Taking,
Feb 22, 2013

I am learning that this most complicated business of healthcare, in going tech, is trying to basically 'get rid of humans' (what a lecturer actually said) involved in the process of the EHR. he talked about free text being part of mistakes and cost, and to me that means probably reducing or eliminating altogether dictation and rather having templates that a provider will just fill in or check off - or have someone do it, but not an MT. this is just my opinion now, but think about it. ...


CCA, CCS, CPC, RHIA, Informatics Question
Jan 30, 2014

I am thinking about going into health informatics. I've been looking at the program through WGU. Through their program, you complete your CCA credential before graduation. You would also qualify for your RHIA certification when you graduate. They state that a CCS or CCA credential will satisfy the coding courses in the program. Would it be better to do the coding portion of the informatics degree through a program that prepares you to pass the CCS and CPC (like Andrews) or would you know ad ...

Informatics Salary Versus Coder Salary

Hello Everybody.  First, let me say I have gotten a lot of good advice from this board in the past few years.  I have been encouraged to go back to school, am currently enrolled in Andrews for coding, and am looking to the future to obtain a degree to further advance myself in the field. I am very strongly considering WGU's Informatics course. I think this will be a good fit for me, especially considering this program also includes many IT certifications and I have always been ...

I have been working at Focus now for 2 weeks.  I think everyone is nice.  All my QAs have seemed fair except today one QA (and only this one) counts off for blanks.  Well the team lead said you are not penalized for blanks when I hired on.  She said you won't be dinged for blanks.  Well so far I haven't had a QA to ding me for a blank, but today, as I said, one went to town on my reports and dinged for every single one I sent in.  My team lead isn't o ...

Focus
Dec 02, 2014

Recently I had the benefit of hearing someone speak on where our focus lies.  It wasn't a talk about employment at all, but I started thinking about it today as I read through the posts on this board. The jest of the talk was that if you focus on the negative you'll be grouchy, have more pain, be less productive, and generally be miserable.  If your focus is on the positive, though, suddenly you're happy in spite of miserable circumstances. I was hoping with this forum ...

FOCUS PAY SCALE

I'd never ask anyone to divulge their pay scale but I'm trying to get a feel for if it's better than where I'm at.  TIA to anyone willing to give me a ballpark hint here! ...


Focus- Can Anyone Tell Me If There Is Any Work To Go Around?
Feb 21, 2010

I want to apply because they said there are new accounts etc. Then, I checked the archives and as early as December, people were claiming to running out of work every day because a lot of the work goes to India. They also were told that there would be new accounts but somehow they vanished and they ended up with no work. I really want to find a good stable home with a lot of work but I am nervous now to apply. It seems a constant theme for companies to advertise NEW ACCOUNTS, HERE WE GROW AGAIN ...
