My wife does all that, just her reading speed and retention is that freaking scary. She handles claims with 5 to 30 contentions on a regular basis, and she finds the evidence in their medical and/or Service Record, gets the exams ordered, and with a correct rate, not correctED, but correct the first time, of 98.5%. So yeah, she has been called a freak of nature and other similar things at her VBA office. She hit 16 again today, with several that had 5 to 12 contentions in them. Of course, now she is doing 10 hour days. Her lowest day in weeks has been 11, back when she was only doing 8 hour days.Lurker wrote:All, thanks
I wish developing a good through claim with a chance to be successful with needed support for a difficult claim or one that has already been denied isn't a 30 min job. There are times it is 8 + hours just to find one thread to pull on and then you still need a Dr to support it. So no not 3 to 4 weeks ...Treebore wrote:
My wife processes 16 claims per day, most days. So if you can match her, you will have all 300 of them processing in about 3 to 4 weeks. If your as slow as most of her co workers, triple that. CONGRATS! Better pay, better hours, shorter drive?!! Total win!
But with blessing, luck, and diligence, and time, I'll get there.
Of course she probably has advantages you don't such as 5 different systems for her to get the needed info via, so she can often get record requests fulfilled in a couple of hours for the younger Vets. Your guys she may need to wait weeks on before she could even start reading through their stuff.
