you know, when I first read their ad on the job seekers board, a thought crossed my mind that this was another one of those terrible hoaxes like what was placed on the board on April Fools day. The cpl raised a red flag with me, as it is quite high for this day and age. Also, there is no company name, other than her own name, and it is not locatable on any web site. I tried google and bing and found nothing. If she or her "company" had been around as long as she says they have been, you would think there would be something business wise where she could be located. I am seriously wondering if this is not somebody's idea of a sick joke...once again.

Yeah, I saw the same red flag - IMO

If you see someone offering 10 cpl, it's a scam or if they are willing to really pay that for ESL accounts than it must be the account from you know where and it would not matter if you were getting 20 cpl, you'd never make a living.

I tested... - dmz

I dunno - I tested for them and it was an easy dictation. Just b/c somebody might be willing to pay for experience doesn't mean it's a scam....as for them not being listed anywhere, well, I couldn't find them either but when I had my own business for 6-7 years, I only had a business card, not a listing anywhere. Word of mouth is how I got my work. Just my 2 cents worth. Everybody is getting paranoid now with the recession...but let's not go totally psychotic. :) LOL.

With it being the weekend, I don't anticipate a response till Monday if they feel I am qualified for the position.

Just a warning. A lot of times tests are easy. - Bait and switch.

I've taken a lot of easy that were so easy and I figured it was what I would experience working there. THEN, you get the real dictation...98% ESL from you-know-where. I consider that baiting and switching.

Could this be Wendy from WS? fits her MO. - small message

if it is - you'll fight for your pay and endure a ton of fairytales.

would know by looking at the testing. may be the wolf, may not be...

To the individual who tested - let us know whatever you find out.

What does WS stand for? nm - anon

How much typing is required for most coding jobs? I'm an MT with tendinitis and am wondering if I should try coding or if that would also be too hard on my hands. I would think it would be a lot less keystrokes. Thanks for your advice. ...

Accepted a job, gave 2 weeks notice, and yesterday was my first day. I was to be helping out transcription (1000 jobs behind), and then sitting with billing and training with coding as their coder will be out on maternity leave in December. The office is adding another surgeon, and they are rapidly expanding. So I gave a proper 2 weeks' notice to my former employer (2 hours on the road there and back, low salary - now less than half distance and $3 more an hour) and starte ...

Wondering if there are any coders out there who can give me an idea of the fate of coding due to the EMR. Are there still coding jobs out there? Would it be wise to attend school for coding at this point or do you think it will be lost to the EMR eventually? I live in a rural area and there are advertisements for registered/accredited coders at medical facilities, but I'm afraid of spending all that time and money on schooling only to not be able to find a job. Any information/insight w ...

My sister is taking an online coding course and complains that there is no real "teaching," that she's basically just doing the work in the work book and entering answers online, then taking an online chapter test. This makes me wonder about the necessity of signing up for an actual course. I would like to learn how to code, but to me, without any actual instruction, what's the purpose of signing up for one of these online courses? ...

You know, I think I am typing better and faster without the fear of QA hanging over me. I never thought they were extremely helpful anyways. Usually they couldn't fill in the blanks and just nit-picked the report like a pecking bird. I have never had a report sent back from a client (knock on wood) because they were unhappy with anything. I spent far more time trying to please QA than the hospitals and doctors (and have told my supervisor that more than once). ...

For those of you who are typing directly into EMR/EHRs, how are you accessing the voice files? Is it coming directly from the EMRs or do you have to grab them separately. I've been asked to type directly into an office's EMR and am curious how this is going to work. It sounds like some are charging per audio minute and others per hour. I'm trying to keep my job relevant and go with the flow. Thanks to all who post their situations. At least we can all pull together, learn and keep ...

This has to be a fluke, but for the 1st hour of my shift today... nothing but straight typing. I was so excited job after job, my fingers were flying, life was back to normal, ASR nonexistant for a brief moment in time! I typed 314 lines in my first hour of work. WHY OH WHY, MEDQUIST, CAN'T YOU FIGURE OUT THAT I AM SO MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE WITHOUT ASR? If I make money, you make money! It really is that simple. ...

I put drop cookies in the oven, set the timer for 12 minutes, then race to my computer and type. The timer goes off, I race to the kitchen, take out the cookies, put in more and set the timer again and off I go to my computer to type. I have come to this conclusion: Drop cookies 12 minutes = enough time for an FU visit, outpatient note or short procedure. Bar Cookies 30-35 minutes = enough time for a consult, H&P, discharge summary or new patient office note. Now, this has got ...

traumas and such? I had just sat down with a glass of V8 (no joke) and started to work and my first report is about a patient who slit a wrist. Now I'm queasy and nauseous and the V8 is going back in the fridge. This is how I know I'm in the right place in the medical field....no way I could be there and see this stuff firsthand. Blech. ...

Not complaining,mind you, but what's going on. I'm up to 10% transcription for this pay period. Did they decide to cut back on the SR, were their complaints by doctors saying they liked it better when we typed? LOL just wondering if anyone has noticed it and/or knows why. ...

A very interesting post over in the VR forum which is proof IMO why we are going so broke doing ASR, and isn't even taking into account how horrible MQ DocQSpeech software is. Yesterday I had a 10-minute ASR report and I ended up typing at least 50% of it. Several times I thought of doing F11 on that report. Unfortunately, using F11 part way through a report while saving the text you have done so far on note pad, and then pasting it back in rather than starting all over, however, can ...

Oct 02, 2010

Okay, I have had the suspicion that MQ programmed something when you bring up old reports when typing a discharge summary that the H&P doesn't show up. Today, the dictator doing the DS plainly stated that she was reading right off the H&P. I went to check in the old reports to maybe get some quick lines, but it wasn't there...as usual. I typed what she said and realized that I had already typed this before and that I was the one that typed the original H&P ...

Got new accounts for the last 2 weeks that are not ASR (yet) so have been doing about 90% straight typing. I have been averaging about $20 more per day than when I do ASR. They can sell whatever snake oil they want, I can type faster and make more money straight typing than I can with their much-touted fabulous ASR --- EVEN ON BRAND NEW UNFAMILIAR ACCOUNTS. ...

No one seems to talk about typing speed these days. I see a huge difference in earning ability of an MT by their typing speed. I get resumes and people don't even put their typing speed on a resume often. I have to go back and ask them. It is the best ruler out there. Are there any 100 wpm typists out there looking for clinic work, M-F, 9-5? Since we all work by production, obviously the faster you type, the more you will earn (and happier you will be) bu ...

MTs: I presently work for an outsource company which has sold its MT division to another outsource company. I will be 62 yo come January. I am to the point now of seriously thinking about taking early retirement and only working PT 20 hours a week. If I do that I would actually be making more money that way than I would be working the 50+ hours a week I do now. The thing that I am concerned about is I would have no health insurance unless I pay for it out of my own poc ...
