[OR] Left medical billing job because I was asked to upcode

The title gives all of the necessary context.

My question is how a recruiter might react if they heard this when asking why I left my previous job? I feel like I did the right thing and all my friends have been emphatically saying I definitely did the right thing leaving that job. But I am worried what a recruiter might think.

If you need additional backstory, I made a separate post about the situation on r/work. The title is "DOES ANYBODY EVEN READ THE FRAUD WASTE AND ABUSE TRAININGS?" (Please disregard the sh*posts. I also use Reddit for boredom and purging the nonsense that accrues in my brain.)

I am copying and pasting the highlights below:

"I just left the medical billing job that I had JUST STARTED because they were telling me that it is better to overbill than to underbill.

THIS IS UPCODING

PAY ATTENTION DURING THOSE TRAININGS"

(User 1 comment 1 - response to original post) Of course not, they're just for compliance. They're not meant to be taken literally.

(My response to User 1 comment 1) No they are absolutely meant to be taken literally, especially in an administration like this.

I was working a report with patients on it from 2023. These patients had CREDITS owed to them of $2000 - $3000 that were just sitting there. We owed these patients MASSIVE amounts of money. Many of these patients were DEAD and by far the majority of them didn't even GO THERE ANY MORE seeing as it was a SPECIALISTS OFFICE THAT MOST PEOPLE GO TO ONCE, MAYBE TWICE so nobody is going to use up a $3000 credit. So that money literally was just in the bucket factored in as revenue BUT IT WASN'T THE COMPANY'S.

And it isn't like they caught this and had me going through and correcting these things. I was working a report for appointment cancellations 😭

So I obviously filed a whistleblower report to OIG.

(My secondary response to User 1 Comment 1) Was that sarcasm? Because if it was then it took me a minute lol.

(User 1 comment 2 responding to my secondary response) Yes, it was.

I appreciate your passion.

(My response to User 1 comment 2) 😂 thank goodness it was sarcasm lmao I'm just embarrassed that it took me a while
