A matter of National Security?

I am looking into transcribing for a doctor from 1000 miles away. I currently work in his office but will be moving. He is concerned about the security of his files during transfer and also when they get on my computer...("How can I be sure my files are secure once they are on your computer?"). Does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions for this situation? Thanks everyone. ...

I tried to post this on the company board but I guess that was the wrong place. So I am sorry for having made that error. I'm new to the forum, so I do apologize for any mistakes I make posting going forward and well in advance of making them. I do hope that I am putting this on the right board; however, if I am not some direction in that regard would be appreciated as well. Where does a post like this belong exactly? I do need some objective help with th ...

What I mean is, if your company has any type of keystroke or time monitoring software on there. If you use your own computer for personal use and have banking records or other misc on there, do you have a program that locks out the company software, only allowing them to monitor their own stuff and not yours? Is there even such a program? I need one. Thanks. ...

This is my first year to work solely as an IC. I have been sending quarterly taxes in to the IRS using the form 1040 payment vouchers they supplied. It has just occurred to me that I don't know if any of the money I am sending in is going to Social Security tax. I am not sure how it is allocated. I send in 25-30% of my earnings. Can anyone with more knowledge about this help me understand? Thanks so much! ...

How of HIPAA compliance yields profitable partnerships? I guess a lot of emphases given to HIPAA compliance is truly justified, especially in the case of outsourcing. The thrust on confidentiality and security of patient records grows manifold when it's done across 7 seas. ...

It only takes Googling phrases like "celebration day", "recognition day", "remembrance day" and such to prove to yourself that we are a nation of celebrators, recognizers and rememberers.

Basically, it's been working out fine until one day last week when I received an email from the transcription manager saying that was "short on my time" on one specific day. I was confused because while I agreed to work first shift on specific days, I wasn't aware that I was strictly held to a specific schedule and wondered how they were keeping track of my hours worked because I do not punch a time clock. I assume they are keeping track of the hours I'm logged onto th ...

I just read on line that today is a national holiday in India. I was reading about the trial of the men who raped and killed that girl and the court will reconvene on Monday as today is a national holiday over there. I wonder if that will mean more work for us? Ya think??!! ...

How do you go about getting early SS?? How early can you get it. I am in my 50's so is that too early? I remember my mom did that but she was older and she still worked 3 days a week and as long as she kept under a certain amount she was allowed to do both. ...

MT week, Scottie? There go the 400 gift cards - straight to India ...

Guess they took over for the stork? My ASR has also taken a holiday from all small words today: is, was, the, and, then, etc. I guess it has been threatened to be more productive also. Just skip half the words and voila -- twice the production. That gets really tedious hour after hour. Disclaimer: I am happy to have a job. Do not wish to find another one. Too old for career change. Thank you. ...

I just found out that by law, MQ was supposed to file a claim with unemployment FOR me because my hours have been cut so much due to NJA. It is the LAW. In my state, it is the only way to get partial unemployment. ...

I just signed on to work and needed to look up a Client Profile to double-check their protocol. I get this message from windows with a big alert that the site I am trying to connect to their Certificate of Security has expired??? Say What???? I had to pick a choice to go to the site and windows did not want me to do it saying my computer could be corrupted, etc. I did get to the profile, but what the heck does this mean??? Is it just me or has Medquist forgot to refile something?&nbs ...

Just getting a chance to finally get hired!!!

discuss your pay in public as much as you would like. It is the law. It does not matter if you have signed a nondisclosure statement on salary as that is not legal. If you are fired for talking about your salary you have legal grounds for compensation. Of course distributing copyrighted material is illegal, but you can talk about your work concerns and salary in public. It is the law no matter what a company tells you. You do not have to be part of a union. You have rights as an employee ...

As MTs, we have seen over the years how our jobs just keep bottoming out more or less. Companies are taking advantage of us while they "suck up all the money" that is paid out by healthcare facilities; we just "don't count." On top of that, companies are now trying to turn us into ICs supplying our own software programs AND equipment. In 25 years of doing this, I have not seen line count pay increase one iota quite frankly. The only thing I can think of is ...

My 2-1/2-decade MT career is coming to an end. When I think back on how *HAPPY* I was back in the good ole days (late 80s into late 90s) as an MT and then contrast that with the picture now, it makes me want to cry. We made GOOD money for someone without a degree, had GOOD benefits, and were at least somewhat appreciated back then. In retrospect (hindsight is always 20/20), working conditions began going downhill when we became isolated from the physicians (as if we w ...

I have grown tired of looking for a job, and it just so happens I turn 62 next month, so I'm out of the MT market. Goodbye to you MTSOs who play games with hard working people trying to put food on the table. It's gonna catch up with you and as they say, "Jimmy Crack Corn and....." I pray you MTs who are younger will find jobs or get out of this dying field. It has really changed in the last 15 years, but radically changed in the last 2. Goodbye.&nbs ...

My aunt is 63, still working, uncle 66, still working PT but receiving full SS benefits. He has recently been diagnosed with cancer. If he dies, and my aunt keeps working (she is working for the medical insurance), will she receive his death benefit, and will it be the same amout. She is worried about this, well in advance (we hope) and I just wanted to ease her mind a little. Thank you. ...

I received a job interview for an IC position with a company called National Medical Transcription with headquarters in New York. Has anybody worked with this company? My main concern was that the company does not offer direct deposit but rather issues a check via mail. Next concern is a "transparent" means of tallying up productivity for 65 character lines and spaces included. I would appreciate any feedback from present or past contractors. Thank you. ...

Thinking of taking early SS and cutting hours so I would not make much more than the 15,000 you are allowed on SS. That way I would still be eligible for insurance until I am old enough for Medicare. Has anyone else done this or know any pros and cons about that progressive part time thing? TIA ...

I have an email out to a friend with this question also. She was laid off and had already applied for social security early. Haven't heard back yet. ...
