CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Employer Reviews

There is potential to learn a lot of useful information in the overall company.

Primary dties involved account reconcilaions and balance sheet analysis.

Major reasons for my success was to 'Look at each day as a new opportunity to be my very best. Set high goals, be honest, never say no, and work with people who share my passion for doing their best.'

I'm still working for this company and I hate the thought of going to work every day! You don't have time for a life outside this company as overtime is a requirement. my superiors are incompetent! I think if you're going to be a call center sup / mngr you should have to be a csr for the company at some point in your career with them, because otherwise – more... they're clueless! They preach and preach FCR (first call resolution - getting it done on the first call) yet when you reach out for help they rarely respond which delays or suppresses you being able to resolve the member's inquiry. I've worked there for 4 years and I regret it everyday! As soon as I find another job, I'm gone! – less

I worked for BCBS for 21 years in total and it was an awesome experience. Over the years had great managers and directors and gained a wealth of experience. The most enjoyable part of the job was when I held training and management positions. The hardest was when I worked on the IT side. IT taught me that I must rather work with people, although I gained – more... a lot of experience the work was not stimulating to me. – less

With this company I was able to utilize my learned skills and learn others. Utilized my skills of training Employees. Loved giving 14 years of my life to this company because I in the long run received the greatest benefits.

As a Quality Improvement Coordinator, my primary responsibilities included desk and site audits of medical records, and facilitating the task force that developed policies and procedures related to coordination of care between primary care and behavioral health providers. I learned to interact with providers when performing onsite audits. Management – more... was supportive in these endeavors. Co-workers were helpful and agreeable in assisting with projects when needed. The hardest part of the job was not always being well received by providers whose medical records were being audited. I enjoyed producing a required federal document that detailed the organization's systemic compliance with regulatory and accreditation standards. This project allowed me to interact with every department in the organization, and broadened my knowledge of the organization. – less

Corrupt!
When you do not go along with management's mentality you are ousted........

Fired me when I had Lung Cancer!

Nice!

Do not even consider, there is a reason they have a revolving door in this company..............

A manged care company where as a case manager one determines a client's eligibility. Enjoyed my coworkers, getting to the job itself.

I worked there for many years and it changed for the worse. No clear directions from management, lack of resources to support deliverables, people leaving in droves (by choice or by constant "position elimination").

I'm telling you the place is nuts!

Talking to JHU, Medstar, and Inova
Have learned the processes of claims being billed and paid
Co-workers are very committed
Hardest part of the job is there is no room for promotion
Talking to providers and finding resolutions to issues.

If the manager has been there a long time and you have a bad relationship with her, forget.The same old tricks will apply, you will be out of work. I work here for 2 years recently and the manager in audit and recoupment is horrible. You will be micro-managed beyond anything you can imagine like the other reviewer said. Dont do it, trust me dont do – more... it especially if you have a life and kids. They do not balance life and work here. BUT I can say at least I filed complaints because for years I was told no one would. Forget going to HR, the trick of your position eliminated will be at hand.. – less

The most enjoyable part of the job was the great work enviorment

worked there for 39 years and would have stayed until at least another ten years had not the company needed to downsize. I worked with many managers and coworkers, learned information that is valuable for life and had unforgettable expereinces thre

Good environment and good people, lots to learn and grow with

Great hours, no weekends most of my co- workers I enjoyed working with and the job was not difficult. Too bad the company keeps downsizing every year and alot of people are unemployed.

An excellent tenure with the organization. I have no fuirther comment regarding this organization except what has already been stated above.

great trainning
wonderful management
wonderful atmosphere
friendly employees

CareFirst was a a company that cared about both its external and internal customers until about three years ago. With a change of management which puts so much emphasis on technology and do it yourself, the plan has neglected the practices who are not computer savy. The plan has gone through a very significant reduction in staff. This has really hurt – more... most of the providers and have decreased the quality of care for the members. – less
