Tier scale - littlebit


Posted: Jun 03, 2012

What does the Tier III mean for a MME or QA? How many tiers are there?

Answer - MME

[ In Reply To ..]
First, MME and QA are the same thing at Mmodal. An MME is tier 3 and does everything, MT work, ME work, and QA work, whatever has the shortest TAT.

There are officially 3 tiers. There was a 4th (op notes only), but I don't know if they still do that.

I've never been lower than a tier 3, so I may be incorrect on what the other tiers get for work.

Tier 1 get clinic work. Tier 2 gets everything but op notes. Tier 3 gets everything.

You can call yourself an MT and work for: 1.  A single provider nonspecialist. 2.  A multiprovider/multispeciality clinic. 3.  A primary hospital. 4.  A secondary hospital. 5.  A TERTIARY hospital.   You can do "ops" with any of these jobs.  However, at a tertiary hospital you will have patients who have failed treatment at primary and secondary hospitals.  Tertiary hospitals are teaching and research institutions where you will encounter research p ...


Tier Up
Oct 15, 2009

I was just informed that I HAD to tier up.  Has anybody else been told that one?  I don't want to tier up.  I don't get much NJA and I like the accounts I work on.  I was told that I MIGHT get a raise if I did, but there was no guarantee.  Why would I want to tier up without getting a raise doing the next tier's work?  I just don't get it and I never will.  ...

For All You Tier 3's Out There.......

Do you type ALL work types, including tier 1 and tier 2, correct?  My CCM implied that tier 3 does ONLY operative reports?? I'm tier 2 and I think I would like to try OP reports, as I've been tier 2 for quite a while.  Don't want to NOT do consults and H&Ps though.  Not expecting a raise of course, but would just like to try something different.  And maybe get NJA less often.   What do you all think?     If you do type all, what pe ...

Tier 1 And 2 Get All The H&Ps

This really sucks because those reports have the highest line counts, while Tier 3 does all the testing reports such as cardiology, eeg, cath reports, and surgeries. While straight typing pay may be higher for Tier 3, everyone makes the same for VR. My vent for the day. Sorry if I offended anyone. ...

Tier 3
Apr 06, 2013

What might be  happening is MM is keeping high producing Tier 3 employees and India will get all the easier work.  Tier 3's in America will do the hardest dictations and worst dictators.  The MME's in America will then be correcting more work because India will be doing everything else.  Just trying to figure out what is going on. Also, I think MM had to do something about the no work situation, either get more accounts or layoffs.  They decided layoffs. Than ...

At 4/7 250 x 0.04 = 10.00 an hour  - Do you see the different 1 cents makes? 150 x 0.07 = 10.50 an hour   even if you did slightly better and could do 300 lines an hour editing you would only get 9.00 an hour.  So to make any money there, you would have to literally kill yourself.  TTS IS NO GOOD. period end of sto ...

Just How Many Tier 3s ARE Left?

Tier Question
Apr 14, 2010

I work for another MTSO too that doesn't have the tier system.  I get just whatever report comes into my job pool from clinic to ops.  I've been at MQ for about 3 years now.  CCM keeps wanting me to tier up to tier 3 so I can start doing the ops notes because we don't have enough 3s right now.  However, I won't get a raise by tiering up.  To me the only incentive to tier up would be more money.  After I told CCM that I wouldn ...

I despise even doing it at all but I want out of this place and I think having it will help my chances of finding a different job.  Do you have to be Tier 3 or is that not even a consideration to ADHI?  On that note, are there any Tier 2's here who have their CMT?  Do you actually get that so-called extra incentive at MQ for being one?  I know some other companies offer an incentive. ...


Tier 3 Test

Anyone have advice about taking the Tier 3 test?  I know taking it won't mean much at MQ but it will mean something to me and I want to give it a try.  The woman that gave me information about it said it can go into the next day.  Does it really take that long?  I work 2 jobs and am trying to figure out when to take it.  The instructions for the test sound more difficult than the test itself. ...

Going Up To Tier 3...worth It Or No?
Jan 03, 2013

Just wondering if it is worth it to test up to tier 3 or not.  I wouldn't mind getting more in my work pool (especially as things have been a bit slim lately with the holidays), but had heard there was no pay increase for moving up a tier, plus was worried that I'd have to spend more time in research for the first while getting used to the new work, hence slow production down.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance! ...
