How much do you think a customer service position in a hospital pays on average? - No Name


Posted: Nov 16, 2010

I am done.. I cant do this MT thing much longer.  It has killed my soul!  Im tired of feast or famine and no job security... no benefits...

I have been applying for every job that pops up in the paper and online.. and I got a call back for an interview for a customer service position.  I wonder if this would pay much. 

I guess it is good to get my foot in the door... , as I do plan on taking a medical coding class as soon as I can decide between Andrews and the AAPC course, lol. 

Starting out where I live, anywhere from 11-13 hr. - nm

About $2200 a month.

$2200 a month? In house? How do they keep - anon.

good people from going remote? OP, if I were going for money in a low-level clerical position, I'd choose an industry with a lot of it floating around loose, whatever those are today. Some legal probably, entertainment, ??

She kept having computer problems and kept putting me on hold.  Finally after much frustration an ...
