Patient Care Specialist? - sounds like a scam

A job opening posted for Pediatric Transcriptionist and states must obtain Pediatric Care Specialist certification, company paid training. Does anyone have this? How does one obtain this certification and where? Thanks for any information! ...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has replied to the ad, worked for the company, or knows anyone who has. I wouldn't mind scheduling patients from home. Just wondering if they are good to work for, what the pay is like, etc. Anybody have any info? ...

The whole purpose of this new compensation plan is to focus on quality patient care, supposedly. After 20+ years in this field, including multiple years within an office and seeing how these notes are used, I think I know a thing or two about patient care and how important the quality of the medical record is. Here are some things I know: Doing accounts consistently help you learn what doctors say from note to note. Likewise, it also means you're more likely to hear a mistake w ...

or a patient dying because of mistakes made in dictation/transcription, then why in the world is it acceptable for any dictator, be it MD, PA, NP, etc. to get on the phone to dictate half asleep, eating, or even probably drunk and get so confused themselves that there is no way you can understand what they are trying to say. When this happens REPEATEDLY, this person is called a "difficult dictator." However, if you make a mistake on their transcript or send it to QA, you are the ...

I spend more time trying to figure out what and whether or not I will be dinged for missing or "adding" 'the', 'a', etc. Getting dinged now for leaving output just as it was dictated. Got dinged for missing 'of' even though there was a note that it was dictated really fast. Got dinged for putting the beginning 2 words of one sentence at the end of the preceding sentence, and I remember that report. I could not figure out what the doctor was trying to say! Got d ...

How can I be? I'm too focused on what I'll get dinged for. Every other day there are updates to account specifics. How on earth can one remember every little thing for every single account (I do 5)? What will the auditor think of this or that? Should I actually type verbatim even if it makes NO sense? Should I change what voice wreck typed, i.e., "On physical examination, the patient..." The doctor actually said, "On physical, the patient..." So, this goes ou ...

I don't know about the rest of you but I have very few male doctors who are careful enough to adequately edit normal templates to meet the patient's particular criteria. It's gets pretty time consuming to do it myself, especially when we are not qualified to do this in every instance. Female doctors almost always attend to these details. NPs, PAs do a much better job than the male docs, but few male docs either care, feel it is their job, or take responsibility for this editing. ...

"The patient was advised to follow up with Primary Care." I have been capitalizing Primary Care....Is this correct? Need second opinion. Thanks! ...

I have always hated it when the doctor crams in every disease the patient has in the first line whether or not the list is relevant to the chief complaint. I can't think of anything more pointless than having a PA or resident dictate discharges when all he or she does is lift the consultants' impressions and plans and then plug in his or her standard "vital signs remained stable and the patient was discharged in stable condition." They just chant thru it, as fast as possib ...

"CAN'T-duit" for patient care and safety is more like it. The only way we "CAN-duit" is to be able to take the time to produce an accurate and timely documentation of a patient's story and have a compensation plan that is attainable. Instead we are pressured to produce more for less. Sorry guys.... not buying it. "Happy" MT Week??? Nope..... not EVEN. ...

Please don't ask me to read the board. I have. I just need a straight, honest answer and no bashing. I need to know if a cpl line rate is fair for QA. You have to send feedback, have some MTs on full edit, etc. I just don't see making any money, but I would like to hear from others who may be doing the same thing. Thanks a bunch!! ...

Is a pricing specialist basically the same as a medical biller? Is this a good entry-level job to break into coding? Does it count as experience? ...

I know to use numbers instead of spelling them out but in a case like: "This is one situation where I would refer to a specialist" Would I use the number 1 or spell it out? Thanks! ...

I graduated as a medical transcription, but after some confusion, I found out I'm really a "Medical Language Specialist"? Right? Is there a difference? I know about Medical Language Editors, but this is a new one on me. Is that the key to job searching? ...

Hello, I am currently a HDS student and have a few questions about what happens after post graduation. What is the lowest, medium, and highest pay that an HDS gets a week, month and year for Nuance? ...

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...

Please beware of this company. They are literally preying on medical transcriptionists who are having a difficult time finding and keeping a good job (which I think is happening more and more to people who have been doing this for a long time). Anyway, I received an e-mail from them after 9:00 p.m. this evening, a phone call from them (which I didn't answer) and then an e-mail following the phone call. So we have blocked them. They want a fee from MTs, and they will ...

Ahima certainly gives it a different spin than MT, and an article at Study.com lists desired or common requirements as associate's or bachelor's degree, with nursing, HIM, or health information technology, and medical coding expertise. So where does Nuance get off expecting "lowly" MTs to do this stuff, with 100% flawless accuracy, on lowly MT pay having to Google everything? I mean, they do not even pay us enough to be "lowly" MTs, and yet expect us to Google and verify that do ...

as I've been scammed out of 165 bucks, too. ...

A company called Global Marketing Specialist Group has been trying to post ads repeatedly. They are NOT an MTSO company. They want you to pay $165 for a "background check" and then they will give you a list of potential employers or clients. They are trying to post more ads using alternative e-mail addresses such as gmsgtranscription@. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM. They are not being up front with you and are simply trying to make money from you. You should NEVER pay to work ...

I know this is a really stupid question but, what does acute care consist of? What types of reports are acute care? I understand that it is basically emergency type of care or short-term care, but exactly what types of reports would you be transcribing? TIA ...
