Posted By: Lisa on 2008-12-01

I got a new doctor.  They girl who had been working for him left him in a big mess, undone dictations, etc.  The office gave me a flashdrive to do with about 30 patients on it over the holiday weekend.  Today they've told me ten patients had already been typed, how did I want to handle that?  It seems they don't want to pay me for these.  My husband says to bite the bullet and not charge them, since this is a new account and I'd like to keep it, is possible.  What do you think?  I know it's a land of confusion there from what is done to what is not done.  Thanks!
