I know that transcriptionists at Veterans' Hospitals have used the EHR for years and it works really well at VA. Now it seems that you hear about it all the time, but every single description is different from every other one. Nobody seems to know anything. When I ask how it works in other hospitals and clinics or with MTSOs, I hear that it's really no big deal. You just transribe like you always have. If each system is different, I guess what I want to know is, are any of you using it ...

Dear medical coding students and medical coders: I am starting The Andrew's School of Medical Coding on April 1, 2011 and I have I am looking forward to it. I want to ask you your opinions. I was at the dog park with my pug Cruncher yesterday and I was telling my friends that I was looking forward to starting school and one my friends who is an oncologist at NIH was advising me that I should think twice about starting medical coding as a profession because the implementation of the electron ...

I'm trying to follow the path of a patient medical record. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. But here's my understanding: the doctor dictates (or inputs his data), then it goes to coding. From coding it goes to billing and from billing it goes to the designated payor (insurance company, medicare, etc). So If my scenario is correct, then if there is not an accurate record, then it can't be coded correctly and it can't be billed correctly and the medical faciility does no ...

Below is a link to another breach of medical records. We can directly blame the fact that today's medical records largely dwell on the internet. Lest some of you come back with "but without the internet, we would not have jobs", let me tell you that we got along without the internet previously and had higher pay because the offshore vultures could not get at the records and we were in higher demand. We can do it again. http://valley.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/ ...

My community college offers this course and I would like to take it. ...

Can someone explain to me what a medical record summarizer does and what kind of pay is it? Thanks ...

I began working for a doctor's office and we get referrals. Some of these apparently are entered by the doctor. It is the biggest mess I have ever seen. Sentences are run together. There is no punctuation. Capitalization is either nonexistent or incorrect. There are no paragraphs. The report is just literally words run together for a whole page. Other offices have canned forms, and they fill in a few blanks. The paragraphs and h ...

If anyone is on Facebook, search for the "Healthcare Documentation Today" page. There is an article posted regarding medical record errors. It is a very interesting article regarding the other side of what we do. ...

I have been corrected by QA twice on this one. The first time it was changed to capitals (Electronic Medical Record), so I started typing it that way. However, recently I had it changed to lower case (electronic medical record). Both times the sentence was the same... "Detailed in the electronic medical record." I had always typed this lower case until it was changed the first time. I never did understand why it should be capitalized. How do you usually transcribe this one? ...

Brushing biopsies were obtained with final pathology consistent with squamous cell carcinoma, according to the Vista web pathology medical record from the Montana VA. ...

Everywhere I turn I see nothing but EMR - No more dictation, no more transcription. At an eye appointment today when I told the technician I'm a medical transcriptionist, she responded with "DO THEY STILL HAVE THAT?" It's time to wake up and smell the coffee. Transcription and even VR will not be needed by next year. Walmart please hire me! ...

I was wondering for all of you MTs who work full-time from home, what health insurance does your company provide you and your family with and how much do you pay out of pocket? I work for a company (will not mention the name) and pay $62 per pay period (for just me) which I didn't think was so bad - BUT i just found out I have a $3500 calender year deducible and will have to pay 35% of hospital fees if admitted (which I will be in 2010). So besides paying the $62 monthly, I will be paying $ ...

I am in serious need of a new transcription job, straight typing. If your job offers a bonus for signing on a new employee, let me be your bonus.. if they don't and but still need help, please contact me. I'm seriously on the verge of not being able to make my house payment in the near future. Nine years transcription experience, basic 4, acute care, psychiatry.. you name it.. if I haven't done it, I can learn. Current job switched to VR and ...

My husband is 6 years old than I am and retiring and starting Medicare in couple months. I have always been on his insurance. Anyone have any good leads to health insurance for us self-employed types. Thanks. ...

Can anyone who works at either of these places give me more info on them? I need to know which one to go with... Both have Oncology openings, so it would be for those accounts. I'd like to earn more this year with a better company than the lousy 15K I just earned this year. The company I'm with now is nice and has treated me well in all aspects, but the low pay isn't working out for me. I'd like to know things about these companies such as pay, line requirements, straight ...

I know to use numbers instead of spelling them out but in a case like: "This is one situation where I would refer to a specialist" Would I use the number 1 or spell it out? Thanks! ...

Anyone know of a company who starts health insurance for a new employee at the 30-day or 60-day mark? ...

I am a Canadian medical transcriptionist. I have been doing this job for seven years now and I really enjoy it. The thing is though is that I used to be in the military for 21 years and went to the gym every day. I had a much more active job. So I do find that after seven years of sitting down for 8 hours per day that I have put on about 20 lbs. I started going back to the gym after work as we have one at this hospital. It only opened a couple of years ago. What do others think about this? Do yo ...

The people I know who will now be getting medical insurance will obviously now go to the doctor when they get sick. It makes sense to me that there will be more coding and more billing, right? That's a good thing for us I think. ...

Boy if I left out a whole letter in a word, the auditors would possibly fire me! Guess the biggedy-wigs missed the memo about First Time Right. ...

tell me how that works? I know the insurance premiums are less than a regular health plan. If your company puts 500 in your account, does that mean the first few times, for example, until you use up the 500, you don't pay ANYTHING or is it the opposite...you pay the entire office visit cost until you reach that 500? I would be so grateful for any information about this type of plan. TIA ...

So, we can stay with Records One but just with no work promised except for as soon as it becomes available. Sounds promising. I wish promises paid my bills. It is a sad day for me. ...

just do along and work? I was writing job # and which hospital and work type but its time consuming and I don't see the point because I hope not to be here much longer. ...

There's a very well-written article in the newest edition, called Life on the Low End of the Pay Scale, regarding pay for transcription, current and past, how WE got to where we are now, and MTSOs' role. In essence, a good way to start us back to better income is to refuse the low pay that lots of companies offer. We have to raise our bar, no one will do it for us. ...

what is the best school to go to (online) for becoming a coder? I have been an MT for 15 years and tired of the feast/famine. Is there financial aid available? I cannot afford even $250 down and $100 a month. Also, are there any companies that hire coders to work at home right out of school? Thanks for any help!! ...

I want to make it clear that this is not a rail against all MTSOs; there are MTSO's still out there who are NOTmotivated by greed, and who continue to pay their employees very well.I have worked for companies which historically have paid employees much higher CPL than other companies - Keystrokes and MTP (both based in Illinois, owned by former MTs, and as far as I know, all work still on US soil) - and several of these companies actually DO pay employees "more than fair" hou ...

but when is next pay day AND could someone tell me where on MQCentral I can find the pay schedule for 2010? Thanks so much. ...

Please refer to medical record on "health 2". - vangle

It is probably something specific to that client. Need to - ask them. NM
