Hughston Clinic

Wonderful place to work with the doctors and form personal relationships with your patients due to ability to spend time with your patients. 
What I have learned -Changes that have occurred with Insurance require PT's to be on site almost all the time now which has changed my desired position from prn to full time. Also the computer program we use for our notes is time consuming. I found full time is not for me as I need time to travel out of town each week to care and visit my mother with Alzheimer. 
Typical day 2-4 evals along with 5 or 6 patients or 10-12 regular patients ( no evals) , supervising PTA, filling out work man comp paperwork as needed, documentation, billing, emailing physician's office, VA paperwork, daily stats. 7:30-5 usually 15-25 minutes for lunch occasionally you have an hour lunch.
What I learned -Workers comp patients have a ton of paperwork,
I also learned I love outpatient orthopedic PT, This facility has access to other wonderful PTs at the main clinic that specialize in certain areas so if you have a question you can call or email them to help you as well. I found that my supervisor is accessible most of the time by phone when he is needed. He cares that I need time for my mother.
Work culture- It is a small office of 3 to 4 employees locally but we are part of a large orthopedic facility with doctors coming and going to the main facility with their own staff. We get along well. The patient is always our main focus. 
Hardest part of the job is paperwork and issues with the computer service provided. 
The best part of the job are my patients!

A typical day at work starts off quiet as I get there before most, when the sun comes up and everyone gets moving everything gets at warp speed, patients are calling with questions, insurance compainies are denying claims and your supervisor is asking you to help on a special project. I stop take a breath and handle each one. The patient always comes first I get them taken care of, then I move on to getting the insurance company what they need to process my claims and in the mix of that gladly accept the new challenge of my supervisor. The hardest part of my job is there is not enough hours in the day to get everything done when I want it done, some call that job secuirty I call that what needs to be done first the next day. The most enjoyable part of my job is that I love what I do, I have worked really hard to get where I am at and I want to continue to move up the corporate ladder. I love working with people that want to work that want to help others. We know the insurance they do not so we help them get problems solved so they can continue to heal and become whole again.

Poor management brought in from out of state. Rules only applied to a select favorites employees. No cost of living raises. Mandatory rules, after hour meeting, uniforms policy, etc only executed to select offices. After hour meeting effecting single mothers with children’s in sports, families with livestock, people with second jobs. Rude an vulgar behavior from physicians that were not addressed. Double work place standards for physicians vs employees. Also chaos on daily office functions, very limited communication which lead to poor office flow an poor patient care. When Hughston-Clinic come in, we were told nothing but lies. We were told to do more with less an for less. Very poor company to work for ..... poor. They do not care about there employees, loyalty will not benefit you there.

They do not care about there employees, loyalty will not benefit you there. Some get away with bullying and other things with favoritisms being BAD, terminates employees with a good record instead of giving a warning first if something was done wrong and they didn’t know it was wrong. Others can do anything and get away with it. Discrimination among employees! BEWARE.....

A typical day starts at 0500 and ends when the last patient leaves for the day. The job involves preparing patients for surgery and discharging them home. It also includes superior cleaning of the bays and beds to prepare for the next patient. Patient load ranges from 1 patient to 18 at the highest. When census is low I get called off because I am PRN. The staff gets along great and I enjoy working with all of the patients. The hardest part of the job is when the census is high and the Dr. works extremely fast, we have a hard time keeping up because we have to get the patient ready for surgery, send them home, and then flip the bays. Management is minimal as we are all self sufficient. The management primarily works on hiring and supplies.

I started my day by checking Dr. Rehak's schedule and making sure all test results were in the patient charts before starting our day. We had a very busy schedule and it was important to assist in getting patients into called from waiting room and keep Dr. Rehak directed to the correct patient in the order they were to be seen. I ordered test and wrote prescriptions as ordered and assisted patients to check out. I gave cortisone injections or any other treatment as directed by the Dr. We traveled by company airplane every Friday to satellite offices in Valdosta and Cordele, Georgia to see patients in clinics there.

I was recently laid off from a cooperation I've worked 5 years. When I was looking for new work one of my main goals was finding a job with great work life balance. I have children who needs scheduled checkups and personal appointments I'm allowed to take during work hours with a prompt notice. I always show up to work when scheduled and I'm never late which allows grace and easier accommodations when it comes to me and my kids. And the hours are perfect for what work life style I was looking for. Also, the environment has great communication and you can easily ask questions and speak to your fellow coworkers without feeling like a burden or a hassle. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company is great just the management in certain departments.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being properly trained and expected to do the job correctly. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In credentialing it’s a high turn over in the department because the department is not friendly and depending on your color people definitely treat you differently.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Log in and get straight to work. Work eight hours and go home. You’re doing applications for physicians to get them credentialed.

There were many changes going there, while I was there.  I was filling in for an employee while she was on medical leave.  I don't fill like I was treated fairly with some of the employee's friends.  I really liked doing my job and did not feel comfortable with some of the employees.  I really felt like I work very hard and should have been placed in another position that had come open while my time was there.

A typical work day consisted of a work flow of answering mult-phone lines, scheduling appointments, verifying insurance benefits and coverage, talking with insurance companies, making sure the doctor's schedule and templates were correct, and if neccessary rescheduling patients if doctor was called away for an emergency. The management team was good and my co-workers were great team players. The hardest part of the job was when the company started down-sizing. The most enjoyable was helping patients.
