Woundtech Reviews

Pros

Flexibility, wage, nice coworkers, perfect amount of workload

Cons

Driving. Its a home visit.

Pros

Flexibility of work hours. Family time

Cons

Driving all day no increment, same salary

Pros

$65 per patient visit = $520 per patient, per month. For most providers, at least in my area, the average load was 12-18 patients. Each seen 2x weekly. So pay could be $3k to $5k every 2 weeks. Although some providers could have as many as 30 patients, and making $7800 or so every 2 weeks. Mileage reimbursement is from door-to-door. So, it's not bad. Flexible scheduling. Sort of. It's just between you and your patients for the most part, but see below for the rest of the story Easy charting. About 3 minutes per patient for a followup. about 15 to 20 minutes for start-of-care. Maybe 5 more minutes to write and fax orders to HHN. Super-simple charting. Almost comical. PMH example of choices you can select in the EHR Cardiac - High blood pressure, cardiac disease, heart problems Pulmonary - Shortness of breath, COPD, asthma, cough Ortho - Muscle stiffness, chronic joint pain

Cons

Most providers, at least in my area, covered two distinctly different areas seeing each patient 2x weekly. First area on Monday/Thursday, and second area on Tuesday/Friday. But.....and there is always a but. The areas were often many miles apart and many miles from your house. So, in my case, I had 2 areas that were each approximately 25 miles from my house to the epicenter of the area. But, the epicenter of each area of 35 miles apart. Example - If a patient missed a visit on Monday, you were expected to make up that visit on Tuesday. But, in my case, that meant that a normal visit that took 20 minutes when I was in the area was suddenly 2 hours of my time if I had to make it up the next day. You take the good with the bad, but this happened often. You are only in the field Mon/Tue/Thur/Fri, but expected to see patients for start of care or follow up visits on Wednesday. You aren't making a dime on Wednesday, but if you had to do a visit, you would waste about 2 hours of your day doing the visit to make $65. Also, unpaid meetings every Wednesday that you were expected to attend. No reimbursement for any licensing, education, administrative time ordering supplies, responding to emails, etc. That was all on you. The plus was that you could do it on your own time frame. So I would often do a lot of this stuff early morning or late evening. As noted above, pay was vary erratic. Pay check might range from 3k to 7k dollars, depending on many factors. First of the year, you always lost at least 3 or 4 patients due to insurance changes, which could cost you a couple thousand in January while you waited for their new insurance to kick in or waiting for new consults to build up your practice again.

Pros

Flexibility of schedule, charting system is easy to understand.

Cons

Constant unsafe environments. Management doesn't care about anyone. Pay is not enough for workload. Absolutely no work/life balance. Management has favorites and constrictive criticism on how to improve isn't tolerated. Company has a poor retention rates. Visits are pushed. Quality, Communication, Employee Safety, and policies are not enforced or upheld. Please don't waste your time joining. All that glitters isn't gold.

Pros

Volume based salary, mileage, and PTO. Benefits

Cons

Poor leadership skills. Disorganized. No policies/procedures followed or written down. Policy consistently changes at administrative benefit. Overly micromanaged. PTO is given to employees if they find their own coverage, otherwise will not get approved. Dishonest administrators. Per patient rate has not changed in over 5 years. Jeffrey Galitz is not the CEO. It is David Beaulieu, someone who has never had any experience in leading providers or worked on the side of people who provide health care. Look on linkedin, he is all health care solutions or money. He was previously on the board for woundtech and now CEO. Boardmembers and CEO care about making money, not for the welfare of their employees. This is very transparent in the way they manage their employees.

Pros

Flexibility Patients Diversity Not really any major pro.

Cons

This company has poor communication, bad staffing, overload of patients, poor compensation, lots of politics. Constant meetings Lots of gossip Training is minimal. Support is so so

Pros

The leadership team makes employees a priority. I feel supported and that I am seen and heard. The compensation and flexible schedule allow me to have a healthy work-life balance.

Cons

So far nothing has been negative for me

Pros

There is job stability if you are on the lower end of the organizational hierarchy. The salary does pay the bills even if it is not at the highest end of the spectrum.

Cons

Things are always in flux, frequent change in upper management then every new manager wants to try a new model (even if there is nothing wrong with the old model). New managers covertly get rid of tenured staff "just because..."

Pros

Being able to grow professionally

Cons

Not being able to have time off. Getting coverage is very stressful on patients and clinicians.

Pros

Free lunches sometimes, some of the co-workers are nice

Cons

Micromanagement, can’t use the bathroom for more than 10 minutes, assigned lunches, breaks and seats, can’t get coffee in coffee room unless on your break because then you’ll be “stealing” company time, can’t speak up too much.
