Just finished a saga which lasted over 10 days. Interviewed was asked if I start immediately. During interview my bandwidth was checked and told to be fine. During the tech installation was told I needed more bandwidth. Contacted another provider to arrange for installation for download speed of 50 and upload speed of 10. Told them it would take a few days to have this done. "Can't I get this done sooner?" Purchased headset and new PC to ensure more RAM. Started training again...connection still too slow. "Can't I get my high-speed connection in sooner?" Okay, people, you told me my speed was fine when I sign on and then when I do decide to have the IP come out and dig a hole in my yard to provide me with service I get the third degree because they need me to start and be up to speed asap...sorry dudes. Oh, the final laugh I had was when I was told we have to provide the ICD-9 codes with our booking and hadn't even been provided a listing of thse codes. Sorry, people $12 an hour will not cut it. Cut my losses and I am out of here...lost 10 days with no pay. That is that.
American Health Connection has posted for staff/agent jobs on MTDaily and MT Stars. They are very pleasant people with whom to work for sure. The trend these days is to outsource hospital patient registration and companies such as this are taking off big time. Having started training with them, I have had nothing but trouble...at first I was told my bandwidth was fine, only to learn that I needed 40-50 download speed and at least 10 upload speed. Had to switch to a new provider, however, ...
I recently applied and interviewed with American Health Connection. It is not a transcription company but has remote home positions that work well with our MT knowledge base and sounds perfect for my tired hands after 20+ years. Has anyone had any exposure to this company? ...
American Health Connection or Ahconn has no business trying to recruit professional transcriptionists for their virtual call center. That is all it is. Furthermore, there are other problems, like your inability to care about these patients whom you engage, their problems are not your problems, so in the event they need your help and you can or try to help, they will reprimand you. They are not clear on your duties until it is too late and your job is in jeopardy. Manageme ...
I was hired by American Health Connection as a patient scheduler. I was sent an offer letter which I signed and then an email came with several forms to complete. Once had to be notarized, so I mailed everything back priority rate. Then, another email came with more attachments. Within those attachments, was a training reimbursement agreement that I was required to sign that said that if I quit the job prior to 6 months on the job I would have to pay $2,500 to the company. I have never in my lif ...
Has anyone obtained a position and started working with either of these companies on their new positions for patient representatives, which is basically taking phone calls, setting appointments, checking insurance, etc.? I am curious as to how it works out in the long run and if it is worth it. Any information would be greatly appreciated - thanks! ...
It never ceases to amaze me, in an absurd kind of way, how companies can place job ads for positions and ask for bilingual/foreign language to be a major qualification here in the US of A!! This is an English-speaking country, and I resent the fact that these companies can make these requirements on us who are US citizens and English is our first language! They want our expertise in work ethics, but we need to learn their language in order to apply for a job with them; how ...
Afro pertains to a "hair style" usually worn by black people or African-Americans.
African-American refers to a group or nationality of people whose decendants originated in Africa.
Has anyone ever been corrected on that when getting audited? Just curious. I see this a lot.
P.S. Not trying to stir the pot or offend anyone so please, no racial slurs or offensive posts. This is a ligitmate question. How do you type it? or do you think it matters? ...
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 ...
Has anyone ever heard of Transcription Connection, Inc. out of Lynchburg, OH? I was thinking of sending them a resume. Any information would be great! THANKS! ...
Have to admit I'm pretty shocked by several of the posts on this forum, especially concerning how the companies are operating. New to the MT world here, and guess I'm green. Hadn't heard much at the school I attended except this forum was "too negative." I now see there's a legit reason for negative posts about companies if these posters are being honest, and I have no reason to believe they're not.
Just wondering how tight a connection the MT schools ...
Has anyone recently started losing their internet connection for a split second while they are working? This just started last week and only when I am typing in Fluency. Is this happening to anyone else? ...
Does anybody know if there are any companies that let you work from satellite or is that illegal now due to HIPAA? Years ago I looked into this and there was a tiny list of companies but it was dwindling so don't know now.
Might be taking off in an RV and was wondering if anybody works that way with a satellite dish attached or some other method?
Somebody that works like this wrote to me a long time ago and told me she has some little gadget she plugs into her computer and it provide ...
I have been working successfully for Softscript for the past 5 years via a dial-up internet connection. Recently, I have been having trouble downloading jobs; i.e., I can't do it. The tech person I have been working with there says that my computer is fine - it is just that dial-up is outdated - "no one expects anyone to have a dial-up connection any more".
I don't understand how it can be working one day and not the next. Anybody have any ideas, fixes, etc. I ...
Hey, Everybody:
In the spirit of solidarity, if we want support for our cause, then we might want to consider supporting other industries in America. There are places to "Buy American" on the website. We shouldn't support Big Box Stores that import everything and make a killing as well as treat their employees like chattel. You know who I am talking about.
If we buy into the theory, "Oh, but it's so inexpensive to go there," then we are just as bad as the tran ...
When doctor says: "Patient is a native American" should native be capitalized? (BOS says to capitalize tribe names, but that doesnt answer this question.) Thanks very much. ...
