So am I to assume that anyone who is not a CMT or does not wish to be a CMT are the “imposters” of whom she speaks? She worry’s less about where her records are being transcribed and more about who is doing the transcription. I have a question. Would it be easier for her to run a background check on an MT in India versus an MT in the United States? Where your medical records are being transcribed directly correlates to who is transcribing your records! Also, how on earth can the “Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity” keep a watchful eye on the integrity of a person’s medical records when the very HIPAA laws created to insure integrity cannot be enforced on offshore MTs?
Here’s the deal, if the AHDI wants to make credentialing mandatory for MTs, then they need to insure that the American MT salary range is increased to reflect requirement of credentials. They also need to disavow offshoring in any and every form, and bring the work back to the U.S. where it belongs and where it is protected by HIPAA. When the AHDI can secure a fair pay range that reflects mandatory credentialing, education, and required HIPAA knowledge and adherence, THEN I will become a CMT again. |
