SS and filling out demos etc - for your enjoyment

I know it varies by platform, client and dictator, but verifying and setting up demographic info seems to take a large chunk of my production time. If we get it wrong, it is a major error, and rightfully so. I am just wondering if anyone has ever questioned or researched the legality of potentially being fired (and, therefore, not eligible for unemployment in most states) for something we are not paid for? ...

So I guess that was just legal boilerplate for CYA, since there were no pay changes for EditScript. Like what we're paid per line automatically includes enough "extra" to cover for these duties, supposedly. "Base Pay Program Philosophy .... Compensates for all time spent typing and editing reports; to include researching, proofing, and demographics" (I always screenshot these conferences/presentations, since we never get any written/e-mail followup that includes all the ...

When you are applying on line for a position for employment, what do you put for business references. This job wants three business references. I do not want my current job to know I am looking. Working at home I do not have many business references. ...

Exactly - Agreed Posted: Oct 2nd, 2012 - 10:39 pm In Reply to: FYI - Anonymousno one inhouse or outhouse pays for filling in demographics and it is quite plainly wrong when paid on a production basis - at least in America. We are not indentured servants but are heading there - if not already there - by working without being paid for all characters transcribed including demographics. The MTSOs just don't want to expend the money or effort to adjust the technology to count everything they ha ...

We have a couple of doctors who do complicated tables in some of their reports. It's a real production killer!!! ...

I am starting to apply for other jobs (not MT after 35 years). When filling out my current employer I always put NJ as the address of the company, but should I put my current supervisor's name in as a contact or should they contact the main office? I really don't want my supe to know I'm looking for another job yet. TIA. ...

Wondering if anyone out there has ever thought of filling the gap by moving into other forms of transcription... As EMR increases, pay dwindles and opportunities for traditional transcription diminish, I'm thinking that it might be wise to broaden my scope a bit. I've thought about court reporting (as a broad spectrum...not just actually in the court room) and other forms of transcription other than within the medical community. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this or oth ...

buddying up with MTs or collaborating with bosses... KEEP MY WORK IN THE U.S.!! That's what I care about. ...

A doctor wants me to do PFTs from a premade template he created. It is about a page long. It would involve typing the clinical history (2 lines or so) and filling in a lot of blanks. He does not want to pay my line rate that I get for typing his office notes, but wants me to give him a flat charge per report that is much less than what I would get for typing dictation. Any advice on what I should price this at? ...

This is now my third day trying to fill out form 4562. Since it's just a computer I bought you would think it would be easy. No, I have to fill out a worksheet, read some pub, enter the figure from line 29 (which I'm only on line 7, but I can't complete line 29 because I haven't completed line first part of the form). Line 1 I enter the real property, line 4 I enter the real property put in place (which evidently my understanding are two different things, ot ...

I am really not good with matters of the heart (you know what I mean!) should it be: LVEF 60%, filling pressure probably elevated. or LVEF 60% filling pressure, probably elevated. I am thinking it is the first one. ...

There has to be a fine line between vertabatim and what is transcribed. :- Blanks are sometimes left for a reason, and anyone with the knowledge they should have to do QA should know when the value and/or unit of measurement is impossible. The measurement unit the doctor dictated, probably by mistake, was impossible. If that value was so, that duct would have been half the height of the patient. Although, the doctor was ESL, so he may not have known the difference anyway. At least I know ...

I've seen some people saying it's just clicking on boxes, but there are 3 comment sections where you can write whatever you want! We all spend a lot of time complaining here, and we should all take the opportunity to complain there too. Let them have it! About our jobs going to India, about constant NJA or mandatory overtime, benefits, crappy wages, the last town hall meeting............ whatever you complain about here you need to put on that survey. I kno ...

that 6 minutes of manual available time from your total hours left on your shift? My shift is over and not 1 single job came up. So many stupid steps we have to take when they do not provide us with work!!!! ...

unless you KNOW for sure. Dont assume N is doing anything to profit you that they dont need to do. Dont assume they have your best interest at heart. ANd DONT beleive you TL if she quickly ansers you with sure, you get paid for everything. Dont believe anything you can verify with your own eyeballs. MM does not paid for any additions to a report. Say they cant count lines on a report after the first time they do it with the job submitted by the MT. Yeah, like ...

We I saw the backlog numbers, I could not believe it! We have had OT on Friday and Saturday a lot, but not with numbers so low. Figured I would run out of work, so I started my shift (second) early in an effort to have work. Well, work must be mighty slim, as I am now in the cesspool, and 1 facility has amongst the worst audio ever. Still in the process of getting out of here! ...

record. That's a new one on me. I work at home and no driving is involved, so why would they care? It's bad enough companies routinely check credit scores, now this. More and more it feels an invasion of privacy, and if I am using my own equipment in my own home, why would anyone care if my credit sucks or if I am a horrific drive? Oh well ... ...

Sounds like assanar. I thought maybe SNR, but I'm not finding anything. The entire sentence reads: The current study shows no recent change in patchy interstitial to assanar/nodular air space filling disease. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tx ...

SS and filling out demos etc - for your enjoyment

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. - Bet you know how you get paid, too, huh? nm

Same at Proscript, lots of add ons, headers with no pay, etc. nm - metoo

Guess you'd want your demos wrong - dish

Actually, I want the dictators to be more careful and enter them correctly. - IAMT

"Easily making minimums" hardly seems worth bragging about when nm - the minimum is only 135 lph.

Who is SS? SoftScript? NM - PassingThru
