I AM SO MAD AT THEM. I retested with them today and they had the nerve to tell me that I did not have the minimum requirements for them. I thought I had a passing grade, wish I knew what their passing grade is? Any body know? If they do not want my services, then I should not offer them. ...

Patient has 2 children. Further on down, C-section is dictated in the medical history, and MM ASR output is 2 C-sections! What the heck. 2 was not dictated! I am so sick of the crummy ASR after YEARS of promising us better, yet it gets worse. I have not been doing MOT because my hands hurt too much from the repetitive movements getting to the numerous corrections. I actually got a nice long straight typing job, and my hands stopped hurting. ...

Add to the numerous corrections plus formatting, an unfamiliar account. And.... why are there some jobs in my usual accounts sitting there and I am getting all these unknown accounts! ...

Hi- going to generically ask this question: Do your supervisors always answer your emails or phone calls? Where I work, they are horrible about getting back to MTs and sometimes just simply do not. I am taliking about important questions about scheduling, which account to work on, software issues, etc., .............. It is frustrating! ...

I have never had to do this before. I had a procedure done in a dermatologists's office, and they had checked with my insurance beforehand to determine the payment, etc. They got all the information, my procedure was covered, and she informed me of my portion after the insurance pays their portion. This is all usual and standard. However, I had to pay my portion upon leaving the office, which I have never had to do before at any other doctor's office or the hosp ...

Hope someone can help me. I have worked for a couple of MTSO for around 10 years. Will be switching to VR soon. I am starting to have problems forcing myself to work at least 2 straight hours without interrupting myself either out of boredom or because someone interrupted me (I work from home). I can never seem to get over 200 lines per hour and the benefits are not great. I applied to a hospital in house (about 35 minutes away). The only shift they had was a ...

I am going to do it - get out of MTing for good and really, really want to work in patient care. I love the thought of being an LPN, but I'm seeing so many jobs for medical assistants. It seems to me as though MAs are replacing LPNs. A hospital near me has 13 openings for medical assistants and only one opening for an LPN. Which way to go is the best? Confused! ...

I know some are obvious, like MRI, but how do you decide what is okay to abbreviate and what is not? For example, I am transcribing for a neurologist/sleep study doc and he uses CPAP, COPD, and JVD a lot. Are those to be spelled out? In school, we learned that everything should be spelled out, but I have seen evidence to the contrary in several books. What is your opinion? ...

Ive been trying to decide which school to take the MT course....Andrews or MTEC. I know there has been lots of posts already but I have a few unanswered questions. I have a pretty good idea how MTEC works since they have a webinar showing & explaining their learning platform. I also know that they are all online and if you choose to buy books to study its extra. Im trying to find out how you learn at Andrews and what materials are included. I know i need to call but i want to hear from real peop ...

I am a little math challenged. Does anyone know which would be better (general ballpark idea) employee at 8 cpl, or IC at 9 cpl? I do not need the insurance, as I have private insurance, so strictly paywise. Is it better to take the lower cpl and not have to pay the entire tax, or the higher cpl and pay all taxes? TIA. ...

I applied for a VR job that I'm not sure I want. I don't mind the VR so much but it doesn't pay much but I really only want a part-time job and this one is full time. I am wondering what these companies consider full time. Some say 32 to 40 hours per week. Not sure I like the days either with one weekend day included. ...

Mine was let go. She seemed very efficient and nice. Do they decide by how many years you are employed by MM? ...

Both part-time, both let me choose my schedule; however, Amphion is primarily editing and SoftScript is straight transcription at more than double the editing pay offered by Amphion. Anyone have any experience working for both or is anyone currently employed by either and can offer some insight in how they are to work for? Thanks for any info, good, bad or indifferent! ...

Does your employer offer a differential for being a CMT (Certified Medical Transcriptionist)? I am on the fence as to whether to take the CMT test now or just wait until it becomes mandatory. Would really appreciate some help from current CMTs to maybe sway me one way or the other. Since I am currently looking for a new employer, this may be the perfect time for me to decide. If I go the CMT route, then I would probably apply to companies that will pay me more for the C ...
