Texana Center

My typical day consisted of running daily, weekly and last minute reports requested from Clinical Staff, Auditing Daily Data Entry. Supervision of 2 employees. Setting up new patients in system. Accounts Receivable Management and Accounts Payable Management. HIPPA Manager of Clinic. Notarized documents when needed.  Medical Records Monitor, Oversee the Business Office, clinical support when needed. Monitor Schedule for Dr's and Clinical Staff. Assist in handling crisis as they arose.
I think the only hard part about the job was when the computer's were down and playing catch up, but you have to take that in stride and just move on.
I feel that I had a professional rapport with my co-workers.
I didn't really have any bad encounters with Upper Management.
What I learned most when I was there is that every incident/person needs to be handled on and individual basis, nothing is the same.
The most enjoyable part of my job was knowing that I was doing my best to help people, and if I received one thank you out of 100 patients it was gratifying to me and also we had a lot of team support.

A typical day is trying to fit 10 hours of work into 8, but not being allowed to work overtime, and if you work over by 15 minutes, having to get the director to sign off on it, no flexibility unless for your clients, no support from management at ANY level. None. They don't care about their employees, moral is absolutely horrible, and even though they talk about being a team,  The hardest part of the job is when changes are implemented by a certain date, and support is no where around when there are questions. System delays, which delays our work, guardian calls, provider calls, constant unplanned kinks in our days, and we are still expected to get everything. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with the IDD population and making a difference in their lives. The reviews above are probably managers reviewing because turn-over is so high, and they need new employees. Don't stop here. Keep searching because you can definitely find better.

I would not recommend working for this company if it was the last job to work for on the face of this earth!  The turnover rate is extremely high. Employees are very frustrated with the demands from the management!  BENCHMARKS are set up for failure and the constant reminders of being terminated due to failure to meet the unrealistic benchmark is a continued drive to the high turnover rate. This company only cares about revenue vs quality care for the clients  they serve. It's become nothing but a self made call center ....calling families just to harasse them to talk about services for the sole sake of billing Medicaid.    They expect you to do 12 hrs of work in an 8 hr day.  Overtime is  not expected unless you clearly can justify it and with prior approval.  Very little support from upper management .  Love the clientele !

At Texana, I was a Reimbursement Coordinator which had different job duties.  My duties included posting insurance payments, verifying benefits, insurance appeals, preparing client statements, accounts receivable, staff training for Medicaid reimbursement, client record filing, mail distribution, daily deposits.  The most enjoyable part was seeing the client's insurance issues resolved - having their services paid for.  I learned all about the ins and outs of medical insurance billing/reimbursement.  I had awesome co-workers and worked well with them.  My direct manager could have been more available for questions and could have explained job duties/special projects better that what was done.  The hardest part of the job was getting insurance denials resolved in a timely manner.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay and benefits were the only positives

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You're required to do tons of "trainings" most of which mean relatively little to you're day-to-day tasks. Further, they are quick to terminate and have no regard for the individual employee's livelihood.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A lot of backbiting amongst staff, along with most being constantly worried about their productivity. You also recieve constant emails about whats being missed, which then means yiu have to have an "action plan" to address the issue filed with upper management ( even if the issue could be resolved by a simple conversation).

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
paperwork, putting out "fires"

A typical day (week, month, & year) is full of unrealistic expectations. Everybody has the same struggles and will all get in trouble for such, the real problem will never be addressed unless it has an effect on upper management. Don't expect anybody to help you if you need it, except for the ones that do the same job as you - they're the only ones that understand. This place is full of robots that are focused on revenue, not our individuals. They want drive by visits and for you to harass the ones that don't answer. The people you're supposed to trust are messy, power hungry, and overall just mean. I've never disliked a place of business as a whole until I fell under this one. Run far away, if you can.

I worked at both Texana for the CCA Autism center in Rosenberg, and the Behavior stabilization team in Rosenberg. 
I have been to several clinics after leaving Texana, and have found that this is the only center that has all of their ducks in a row. 
I can honestly say that this is also the only center where I have seen BCBA’s focus on their clients growth rather than the money the clients bring in. 
They do a great job at building a team aspect and support. 
The only real downfall from Texana is the pay is far less than the other autism clinics. Understanding that it’s a non-profit organization does factor into this though. 

Overall, I would recommend working here! 

I worked with low functioning autistic children. I was an applied behavior analyst individual trainer and was taught the act of patience and love. My fellow employees in my classroom were a very close knit, fun, patient and understanding type of group. The hardest part of this job is to watch these sweet children struggle with speech, and learning and understanding things typical children and adults take for granted.  The most enjoyable part of my job is watching the children's faces when they learn and comprehend something new, whether it be going to the bathroom on their own, or making a new sound.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff and working with the kids 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to communicate with the ones that can not speak we don’t know how to help them are see what the want we always tell them to point to it that how we communicate with them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s good still have a lot to learn it always a challenge 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being focus on yr  clients at all times training them helping them showing them how to do things to better their lives

The most enjoyable part of my job is when I see my patient's improve. The hardest part of my job would be seeing my patient's suffer from mental illness. I have learned that you have to set boundaries from the beginning  or your patients will take advantage of you. Management has unrealistic expectations and micromanage. They also have never been in case management and does not know how to direct us. A typical day is making my schedule, doing ANSAs , progress notes and recovery plans. I also staff with doctors and nurses to ensure my patient is getting the care they need. I go to my patient's homes and if they are not there it is my job to go find them.
