Lake Charles Memorial Health System

Let me first start off by saying I currently work here and knew my position would be temporary as it is directly related to The Covid-19 Pandemic. However, I've never worked for a company that I felt less useless at. With the Governor relaxing orders, my position is quickly becoming obsolete. Patients don't want to deal with me or any of my fellow co-workers in my department because they feel like they don't have to answer to us or even give us the time of day. 
There have been a couple of incidents with bullying/unprofessional behavior by coworkers that I've reported to my immediate supervisor with no resolution. When asking for direction on how to handle irate patients, we've basically been told to smile and apologize even when these people are cursing us lower than dogs. Since we cannot control the actions of visitors to the patient floors, those floors frequently call and gripe at us. Again, grin and bear it. 
There's no meaning to any of our work and I feel as if half of our team are literally just placeholders, a body to be there.

Working at Lake Charles Memorial was one of the most frustrating experiences of my career. The so-called administration and management team were so clueless on what was going on most of the time and were completely disconnected from the day-to-day operations. There was no real leadership — just a revolving door of people in charge who lacked basic management skills and communication, but never hesitated to point fingers at employees below them that never stood a chance from the beginning. 

The equipment was horrendous, constantly breaking down or outdated to the point it slowed everything down. The systems in place were ancient and made even the simplest tasks harder than they needed to be. Instead of investing in improvements or listening to staff, admin just pointed fingers or ignored the issues.

There was zero training, zero structure, and zero accountability. If you value your time, sanity, or professional growth — look elsewhere. This place runs on CHAOS, favoritism, and confusion.

Our current manager is the worst employee ever.  NEVER in my 20+ yrs experience have I ever worked where management treated everyone but her few favorites like a 5 yr old.  She is the worst.  Previous manager was AWESOME.  Loved going to work EVERY day.  Now force myself due to her inability to manage.  Up VP's butt and my patient care is severally suffering due to OT issues.  People are leaving EVERY week and no one is being replaced so manager can MAKE HER BONUS.  Love my patients and the Doctor I work for and THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I am still there.  I'm not the only one that every day struggles with the incompetence of 1 manager. Pay stinks and people coming out of high school are making more then experienced employees.  Someone needs to wake up and pay attention as many of its current employees at  this clinic slowly watch our patients leave due to their health not being #1 priority because of one manager.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Loved working for the clinic and two out of three of the Dr’s were great, personal, and caring  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One of the Dr at the clinic makes everyone walk on eggshells,  always unhappy, and no respect for her staff.  LCMH is part of the clinic and their HR and administration is horrible.  If you are not a DR  they do not care about you.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is great besides the Woman Dr and administration.  Other staff, manager and nurses are all great  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy, constant patient care.  Great environment unless the woman Dr was mad everyone felt like they walk on eggshells.  The HR and Administration knows  she is an issue and does nothing about her and if you complain you will have retaliation

Stable hospital that is growing within the community. Although the company is growing it can be hard to advance. The wages are not always competitive with other local companies. On the upside for healthcare professions there is always a need and you stay busy. People are friendly and enjoyable to work with. They offer a discount in the cafeteria and have payroll deduction for the cafeteria, pharmacy, and gift shop. You also get a discount when you have to stay in the hospital and will payroll deduct over time. You also get to workout on your break in the rehab area if you are big on fitness for a very small fee. They don't have a lot of advanced equipment but enough to get a good workout. The culture is more of a laid back environment.

Arrive at work and make a cup of coffee with the co-workers and talk a few minutes about there prior day with the kids.  Read e-mails and answer.  Schedule surgeries, get surgery charts from the previous day, charge and audit the accounts.  Review the REV codes, materials management item description, insure the bill is correct in the billing office.  Answer emails from business office regarding charges to the surgery accounts, including implants and description, REV codes.
Most enjoyable visiting with co-workers at lunch.
Sometimes the volume of work is difficult, we have 4 in our office doing the surgery schedule, charges, audits and process improvement.

Memorial has one of the most toxic work environments I’ve ever experienced. Most of the employees, including upper management, are extremely unprofessional and immature. Many employees are hostile towards each other and some people in management positions contribute to the gossip. The manager of my department was a joke to my fellow coworkers: the manager often appeared to be doing nothing and seemed ill-equipped to manage other individuals. My coworkers and I often lacked proper guidance, were left to solve issues on our own, and then were chastised because of the ways we chose to solve problems. The benefits were okay, but the pay was awful. Assisting the patients that actually found help at Memorial were the only redeeming quality of this job.

On a typical day at work, I come in and go to different departments to pick up charts from the evening before, prepare the charts, scan them into the system, verify all paperwork is in the system then send paper charts to be shredded.  I learned how to operate the LCMH computer system they use in order to perform daily tasks. My co-workers are great and very patient when training.  The hardest part of the job was dealing with an unorganized workflow system. The most enjoyable part of the job was working together as a team and accomplishing our tasks in a timely and professional manner regardless of the obstacles and numerous interruptions.  I feel great at the end of the day know my day was very productive

I worked for 2 months not even making my evaluation for the company and was let go. I was not feeling well  , manager thought I was faking I mean really I have never done something like that. Handed me a box and said not working out bye. Told company I quit and left which was not true and had discussions with me bout my personal life that was a problem for me to fix me and my family. I didn't want to leave, wanted to do my job and help patients like I did for over 10+ years. They had a lot of gossiping and employees got you into trouble almost everyday didn't want to help you. I don't recommend certain clinic

I currently work here. First off let me say, my immediate supervisor is amazing. My team/coworkers are great! Everyone gets along and helps each other. My only complaint is that the medical coders and medical billers are EXTREMELY underpaid!!! The hourly wage is is honestly pathetic especially for a certified medical coder with years of experience. I honestly love everything here at my office building my only real complaint is the pitiful pay. There are plenty of remote opportunities out there that pay certified coders what they deserve for what we deserve and what we pay for our membership and CEUs.
