First time posting on here but after what i experienced today this is the only place I can come to and vent.
I’ve been a the medical field for over 10 years but have been working in the business office for a small hospital in SoCal for the last 3 years. I started off as an authorization coordinator and then got promoted to a biller for a clinic my hospital has a contract with. I was supposed to transfer to that clinic and work my new title but my direct boss asked me to stay for a few weeks while I train my replacement. To my surprise it’s been over a year and no replacement came and I’ve taken on an insane amount of work that has me mentally exhausted.
Our CEO who doesn’t do anything for our hospital and is never there hired a new CFO and he is a complete dick and has a massive ego. For some reason he’s been given all power to make all decisions for the hospital. Anyway, I communicated with him that I have a ton of work on my plate and have absorbed others ppls work (after they quit) with no new title or additional raises. I know I’m dumb for offering my help but I thought it would help grow my career which I have learned a lot but at this point I’m being severely taken advantage of. I told him I’d like a title and pay that matches the amount of work I do or I’d like to just transfer to the clinic I belong to and do my assigned work there and nothing more. He says let’s meet again later today. Keep in mind I now do authorizations, billing, revenue cycle duties and provide IT help for our systems.
He calls me into his office and tells me I already got a raised when I became a biller (a year ago) and I need to continue doing all this crazy amount of work and that I can’t transfer. This immediately pissed me off and i went off on him and called him delusional saying this is not ok and I cannot keep doing all this work. I offered my help to be a team player and not for it to be all stuck with me. On top of all this my hospital is currently not paying our medical bills thru our insurance due to “financial hardship” and several bills are going to collections yet all of our executives make stupid salaries 200-300k and don’t do jack shit. Also keep in mind LA County pays my salary as they give my hospital 400k a month to run that clinic and yet I can’t transfer and I’m pretty sure my hospital uses that money for other things not related to that clinic. My CFO said I have no option but to stay here and continue to do all this work. I went to HR and explained everything and we’re going to meet again on Monday with the CFO to come down to a conclusion. Many ppl I’m close with told me it’s considered “fraudulent” that I’m being paid by the county to do their billing but I’m being used for the main hospitals tasks. Not sure how true that is.
I am beyond upset and feel so disrespected . All for being a nice guy and helping the hospital when in need I get bit in the ass. Looking for a new job asap! Bosses suck!
