of 14 years began doing this. They were asking us (transcriptionists) to do the coding. We had a cheat sheet to go by. I absolutely hated it. Being the transcription supervisor I told the higher ups that 1) we were not being paid coder pay scale and 2) I did not feel comfortable with this at all. They pulled this responsibility away from us and the head of medical records became the facility's "coder" using the cheat sheet. I do not think this is wise at all. |
