Does anybody know if Judy Barrett's scoping school is still in business?

I keep seeing this ad and it seems so interesting but I also feel it is probably as scam. Does anyone have experience in this at all? It seems like it would be so easy for a good transcriptionist to do this. I'm just starting to so loathe my job and want a change. I even attempted the court reporting but I couldn't get past using phonetics instead of spelling words correctly. It drove me crazy and it is very hard to train for one and work for ...

I know I have read things about "scoping" on this board in the past but do not know what it is. Anybody out there who can tell me what scoping is? Any and all info would be appreciated. if possible, I would appreciate a response on this board rather than email as I am experiencing some issues with my email currently. Thanks in advance. ...

Sick of the virtual sweat shops of medical transcription. Anyone had success with switcing to scoping?? How do you get employed in this field. I never see any particular companies hiring for this.

All of my work seems to be going to EMR or voice recognition. I have three kids and I need to stay financially stable. As I hang on to my last account, I am looking to go back to school. I dont know where to go. I was thinking about court reporting and/or scoping work. Does anyone know where I can find information on these careers? Better yet, does anyone have personal experiencing working within this field? ...

I was wondering if anyone has ever gone through Allied School in California for billing & coding. If so, how was your experience? Were you able to find work in coding after finishing the course and getting your certification? I have been a medical transcriptionist for the past 10-11 years and am now looking at getting into coding. My best friend and I are going to take a course together. If you wouldn't recommend Allied as a school, who would you reco ...

I am an MT who is considering going to school for coding. I am thinking about taking the course through Andrews and will probably start next year because I will have to save up some of the money. I am wondering if you think coding may eventually go the way of medical transcription and be outsourced to India. I do not think it will so I just wanted to get the opinions of other coders. I realize it will be a hard course but I think it will be worth the effort. Any thoughts would be appre ...

I'm a student with The VLC online school. I sent in 2 assignments 9 days ago and haven't heard back from them. They've never been particularly swift reviewing assignments but this is getting ridiculous. I emailed both the instructor and the general contact address and got Mail Delivery System messages to say that "delivery has been delayed. Error: unable to reach nameserver on any valid IP." Their forum site is down although the main web site is still ...

I have started my own medical transcription business and it is going great! I decaled my vehicle, designed a website and distributed a professional-looking brochure to all medical offices in my city. How many of you out there are MTs that started their own business? I would like some feedback on how it is going for you. ...

I hate the way things are going, MTSO lost their largest account. I was promised the same amount of work with the 'other' accounts. Had all but 7 short notes today. I think I should just jump ship and find another job. I am NOT liking the way things are going...Been doing this for a LONG time and I can tell when something is up. Of course, I asked, they won't tell me the truth, they SELDOM do tell the truth of what is really going on. ...

Does anyone know if DIT is still in business? They do not return phone calls and do not respond to emails. Just wondering. ...

I really resent the fact of being critiqued on how i transcribe/edit a report. Why is it anybody's business if I use the mouse, keystrokes, or type it with my toes, as long as the report gets done? I'm sure we all have different styles that work for us - so what's wrong with that? This is carrying micro-management way too far. ...

I am curious how many of you had to get a business licence. I live in OR and was told by the tax lady that I need to get a city business license. Does everyone have to have one. I keep getting surveys as though I am a business with employees (how many employees, size of building I run my business from, etc). So am just curious how many others got this and is it a requirement as an IC to have the license. (just wonder if my tax lady was wrong). ...

Fed up with it? Also fed up with the usual job sites that repeat the same ones over and over? Go to your state's Employment Commission web site. Click on site for state job postings. Put in your job criteria, and make sure you click the one that says G for General Public. Put in full/part time, etc. You can even select the county in which you wish to work. When the jobs are posted you usually have 10 days to do an online application and can submit ...

I believe greed has taken over the transcription industry. If the client is charged so much per line, does he only have to pay half for voice recognition? I doubt it. The voice recognition should have been a tool for the transcriptionist to be able to produce a lot more lines . . . instead I believe it is so the higher ups can line their pockets with gold and stomp on the MLS. Transcend is now sooooo greedy they are sending almost half of the work overseas at night. ...

The conglomerate I type for mostly (which is about 30 university clinics, each with 150 or so non-English-speaking residents) sends almost everything in "letter" form. There is a useless letter standard, but I spend the first 1-2 minutes of the dictation on the address (and have to manually re-enter into the cc list), usually have to go Google to try to find how Dr. Swishandswash spells his name and address in Podunkville. It is killing me. There must be some way to stream ...

I'm wondering if those who claiim that this is 'just business' and it's how business is done everywhere can give a valid reason why it is more beneficial for the company to lay off without giving notice versus letting employees know they are getting laid off? I'm trying to look at the employer perspective now and see what benefits the company by not announcing future lay-offs. ...

I live in Florida and am trying to obtain a business license for medical transcription. My county and city do not give them out and they tell me to call the State of FL, I have called about 10 different numbers and no one can help me. If there is anyone out there who has a business license for medical transcription in the State of FL, please let me know how you went about getting one. ...
