The frequently asked question: Should I Quit?

Being in a dilemma will make all of us to be confused. I believed everybody must have faced some situation like this and don't really know what to do.

To be honest,I really don't know the exact answer myself if you ask me. The answer lies in you. Only you knows what you want to do and what you can do.

You asked,should I quit now?

My answer as follows:

1) Ask yourself what is happening now? What is the problem that makes you thinking of quitting?
2) List all the things you can do to earn a living if you quit.
3) Ask yourself if you are ready to earn lesser (I mean much lesser) than your current earning. List all your commitments.
4) Check your savings. Do you have at least 6 months worth of your expenses in your account?

Only you know what you want. My advice is, don't quit if you don't have 6 months expenses worth of money in your account because they will eventually help you to survive. Because I know, it is hard to get what you earn currently out there. Plan ahead, I mean get to know every details no matter what your decision is and don't forget to plan the escape plan if things not following what you already planned.

Now you can take a piece of paper and start list all the things above and plan ahead.

What I do in the office

I've been receiving some enquiries on what is my current job is all about. So I will share some of the details in this post for everybody's reference.

I am in charged in claims department.To be specific, the medical claims unit. Basically my job involves giving medical advices on the medical part and also on the procedures.

Let say a client file a medical claim. He is hospitalized for renal stone and requiring stone removal. Hence I will assisting the claims assessors from claims and medical point of view. You will need some extra knowledge to be familiar with medical insurance point of view and it might take some times to pick up. Then the attending doctors will claims for their procedures fees by giving use the procedure codes. My job is to determine if the codes are correct and if they charge accordingly following guidelines given by MOH.

That is the main thing I did in the office. There are some other things need to be done and it also involves some other small things which some people might not want to do.

If you need more clarification, feel free to comment.

3 Months and Counting

It's been 3 months plus already I've become a medical underwriter. Life is good, I get to see the sun more often and do what I love to do. The job is basically just sitting in front of the computer and access insurance applications specifically medical cases. Sometimes I need to do OTs. Pay is good though it is not as much as my previous salary. I am thankful because I still can managed to save some after all the necessary expenses.

Now I'm waiting for my confirmation which I hope in near future. And I will increase my worth in the industry by taking some LOMA papers. Hope can get a great salary increase next year.

Work is work. I enjoy to go to work everyday. Colleagues and bosses are great too! :)
