I am burned right the fuck out on what I do. Don't get me wrong, I actually love what I do but Medicare has made it miserable. Every day it's another cut in fees, expecting me to rent $20,000 chairs, denying claims because the doctor didn't say "the patient can't use a walker," pre-payment audits, etc. etc. etc. Now Medicare has announced the addition of five new audit teams to destroy providers like myself. I give up.
Now I'm wracking my brain trying to decide on a new path that won't set me back to "entry level."
Anybody change careers mid stream? Advice? Ideas on what I can look at?
I have a B.A. In English, have worked for the state, the University of Oklahoma, experience in custom stuff, sales and marketing.
Looking into teaching, that appears to pay about 45% of what I make now. Oklahoma has shitty teacher pay.
Maybe something in a nonprofit? I'm grasping here.
