Looking For More Business

I've only gotten a few more patients to train on the home blood coagulation INR monitor. There's a new machine available for home use coming in a month or two. When it is out, then business might pick up a bit. But I did find out where the agency I worked for got some of it's business. There's a company that a number of insurance companies use to farm out their assessments, i..e. a higher level agency. If business doesn't pick up, I'll probably apply to do assessments for them directly.

Good News & Bad News

WOW!! Ok, my boss Linda called me with two new patients for the INR (blood clotting) monitor. A while later she called again & told me she had good news & bad news. The bad news is that the owner of the agency decided to call it quits. The agency I work for is done as of today. No more agency. My boss found out just 15 minutes before I did. I'll throw in another WOW!

Ok... so what's the good news? Linda called the company that makes the INR monitor I've been training a few patients to use. She set it up so that I can work directly for them as an independent contractor. (Linda's a good 'un) They're going to pay me what they were paying the agency. My pay per patient just doubled!! :^) One more WOW! But, now I only have the blood clotting monitor patients. I no longer have the other insurance company patient assessments.

So, double the money per patient, but fewer patients. I'm excited, but I'll have to wait & see how it works out. That's a lot to take in for one morning. My hubby says if business picks up he might quit his job & become a stay-at-home dad. lol. ;^)
