Are there any billers/coders out there who specialize in pain magement, ie, facet injections/aspiration and lavage, etc, for outpatient pain management physicians? I have questions about documentation needed for injections and such with the 'add on codes', for example with the injections, there are codes for the first level then additional codes for second and subsequent levels. Is it necessary for every single charge to have a report on it? It's causing severe headaches for the ...

Good morning all, I am a long-time MT considering medical coding as a new career as I love the medical language profession and do not want to leave, however, keeping a long-time MT job that makes money I can live on is becoming almost nonexist. By sheer luck, I met a manager of a small clinic that offered me a medical coding entry level job $16/hour with medical insurance paid for in full for a family. Only thing I have to do is pass the exam and become certified. She had to become ce ...

She brings with her a very good detailed consultation notes and other medical records from the Air Force including evaluation at the S/L FEZDA. ...

Nice knowing ya'll ...

I don't think many with experience would accept .02 CPL. I would imaging this forces MTSOs to train newbies. I'm sure they have to pay QA far more than .04 CPL to correct and go over the work. Even if they did pay QA only .04 CPL to do this, they are paying at least .06 CPL total. By the time the new editor is sufficiently trained to go off 100% QA they have had more than enough time to realize that they will never make a living doing this kind of work, the lies ...

I have handed in my resignation effective immediately. I am so tired of hearing these foreign doctors, failing my audits and working every darn weekend. I have had enough. No, I don't have a job but I am hopeful and I will be getting my husband's SS soon. I just can't take this BS anymore. ...

The bill has finally passed. It is not illegal for companies to offshore, it is just not so profitable for them to do so. ...

Hi everyone! Last month, I posted on here that I resigned effective immediately. I had had enough of the crappy ESL doctors, the audits, the poor VR, etc., etc. I just want everyone to know there is hope. I found out today that I will be getting my husband's SS with a lump sum at the end of this month and monthly payments starting in August. The payments may be more than what I originally thought. I have also put out about 40 resumes and have only gotten one bite. that one bite is a ...

Email just sent, welcome to the beginning of the very end..... ...

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail) He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...

Taking a 25% cut in social security from my husband and semi-retiring in July. Will be making almost as much off social security as I am now making at MModal. Going to work at my part time job until I turn 65. I can still earn 1260 a month without losing any social security. Yeah!!!!! If I did not have credit card bills to pay I would not have to work at all but I am not sure I would like not working. ...

Be interesting to see if I qualify for this. I got one last time, but it seems like every one of my reports is being audited and they are marking off for such stupid stuff and 0.25 adds up after awhile. Everything from invalid blanks to "failure to flag" Something has definitely changed over the last few weeks, never has it been like this before. I have always had 99 to 100% but I can't seem to even get to 98% now what with all their mark offs. So stupid. ...

Does anyone know when the bonus checks go out for the 99.5% April-June period? I never had one before so never paid attention lol ...

Has anyone heard what the specifics are for all medical records being EHR by 2014? I am currently transcribing, no VR, and this would hugely affect my job. After 28 years in this profession, I never thought I would be in this position at age 50. I'm just sickened. I just want to work, I HAVE to work, and feel I am just, along with everyone else, in a horrible spot. I don't have any college education and if I lose this job, I have no idea what I will d ...

Hi - I was just contacted by a neuropsychologist I worked for years ago in the office, about transcribing reports for him from home. I have scoured the boards and I did not see anything current about what to charge. I live in western PA. He says the reports are somewhat repetitive. If you charge by the page, does that mean half a page is the same price as a full page? I thought by the page would be simplest for calculating what they owe, but not sure. Setting up how to receive ...

Am I the only one that feels this way??? Tell me, please, how do they expect us to make a living when they are paying squat to keep their cost of service down?? T ...
