VP says MMEs get paid for additions to a report. Can anybody - verify that? You can check in DqManage. nm

unless you KNOW for sure. Dont assume N is doing anything to profit you that they dont need to do. Dont assume they have your best interest at heart. ANd DONT beleive you TL if she quickly ansers you with sure, you get paid for everything. Dont believe anything you can verify with your own eyeballs. MM does not paid for any additions to a report. Say they cant count lines on a report after the first time they do it with the job submitted by the MT. Yeah, like ...

a report. They were paid based on the job the MT sent to be qa'd. Is it still like that? TIA ...

instead of Production Hours? I want to add some PTO to my timecard this pay period but I don't know how. I went to learning under HR but still can't figure out how to add PTO. Gracias! ...

I was curious if any other MTs are getting paid by the minute too. Replies are welcomed. I am required to get 131 minutes for an 8 hour shift. We get incentive if over. We also use VR, so that helps, and we have weighted doctors. Thanks, MeL ...

So a girl I worked with at a local hospital here now works for MQ, and I found out she is an MME, so I ask her, what exactly is an MME, she says she gets what we send to QA, corrects it, and types. So....basically they are just QA people? But, don't QA people type too? I just don't understand this MME position. Any MMEs here that can tell me what an MME is (and I know it stands for Master Medical Editor, for the smarties)? ...

who make about the same as an MME as they did as an MT? Also, are they asking Tier 2 to become MMEs now? I thought you had to be a Tier 3 first THEN MME? ...

Just wondered if any MMEs watch this board that have an interest in advancing their careers to a QC. Other than notifying your CCM and watching the openings, any advise on other steps to take? ...

Just got a request to test for the MME position. I'm tier 3, 99% accuracy, and I've been here for 7 years, but I didn't take the test when they first offered it because I knew that my pay would take a nosedive. I have a feeling they will be getting rid of all the regular MT/MEs shortly and keep only MMEs on board, but if the pay is actually worse, then it may be better to be given the boot. I was told by CCM that it is mostly transcription work and not so mu ...

You should all go read the Offshore Concerns board about Indian Pay... UGH. ...

This is just purely out of curiosity, but have you noticed that a lot of the ILP's names have Shaster in them. What does Shaster mean? Is it some formal name thing going on? ...

ever read any feedback? I don't. So frustrating. ...

I've been getting a lot of reports from the ILP with "full review" or something similar in the QA note, but the report itself is not flagged for 100% proof. After a couple weeks of doing full review at less pay, I've decided to just delete their request and fill in the blanks. I figure if they want their reports fully reviewed, they can request their manager to put them back on 100% because I'm a bit fed up with wasting my time and money on making these ILPs look prett ...

When you get one of those jobs with 40 blanks in it, what is your favorite expression? Try to keep it clean! Mine is the name of a certain religious figure. ...

No offense, but can I ask you all something? Since you guys say you are making much less than you did as QA, WHY are you wasting your valuable time correcting insignificant things (not to mention sometimes even things that oppose the CP), or things that are preference calls? Doesn't make any sense at all. Just saying ...

How much straight transcribing do you do, versus editing MTs and MEs? TIA ...

I would like to know how much of your day is spent full listening to either ILP or MTs placed on 100%. If it is 75% or more how do you survive? Do you have any tips on how to get through them faster? I must be doing something wrong. Thanks. ...

What's with checking the whole report when there's 1 flag in it? Sometimes I'll leave 1 or 2 flags in a long report, and when I check my feedback I'll have 3 or 4 minor feedback, really little things that definitely do not impact the meaning of the report. Scares me, feels like I'm being picked on. Sometimes it's hard not to turn into a raging paranoiac around here. I HATE leaving flags. ...

Are any other MMEs out there coming across Indian MTs who conveniently leave out portions of dictation, because they don't understand it? I'm finding words or phrases left out that are completely clear, but a lot of the time is American slang. Other times, it seems that they make up phrases to fit dictation they don't understand. Anyone else? ...

Considering applying to go back to being an MME part-time. I mostly had QA work when I was an MME, but curious if that's the norm or not. ...

If you see significant errors in a report of an MT/ME, do you let the QC know? They were taken off 100% QA so that means the MT must have passed her audits, right? I just feel like I'm tattling or picking on the MT and I just want to know what other MMEs typically do. Whether to repot to QC or just leave feedback (which is probably not checked anyway) and move on. ...

with their snippy, bossy notes. La-di-da!!! Whatever! ...

Trying to get some idea of whether I am getting higher percentage of QA work than other MMEs (due to the hours I work). Been trying for months to figure out why I am under constant threat of losing my job for LPH below minimum, when my calculations (total lines produced divided by production time in Teamwork) always show well above minimum. It was finally disclosed to me yesterday that 1 QA line is only counted as 0.43 of a line!!!! ...

This is to those nitpicky comma MMEs, so if you aren't one of the offenders, you can ignore this. Seriously, leaving a feedback marker for every single comma that should or should not be there in your opinion is wasting everybody's time and is making MT/MEs fear sending any sort of blanks and may make some of them guess for those accounts where blanks are sent automatically, compromising patient care, just so it doesn't get sent to you. You really should take your QA t ...

that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...

Well folks, email today regarding yet another MQ program- Account Trustee- those of us with good quality scores have the HONOR of sending reports directly through to the client with 2 blanks or less, thus bypassing QA. Instead of addressing the issue WHY QA is so backlogged (could it be because so many QA were underpaid and have left) this is the new decision. ...

Last year, No. Recently, I'm not sure. - sm

Thanks. When my bob makes the switch to Fluency, the - 1st thing I will do, is check for myself. nm
