Chronicle Transcription - Inquiring MT

Posted: Sep 13, 2012

Does anyone here work withor have experience with Chronicle Transcription? More to the point, how they figure out the line count? I did a visual character count and my count and their's do not jibe. Needless to say, I'm not getting compensated for the patient demographics I must take the take to insert, but it would also appear that I at the very least do not get paid for the headers that are part of the work type template. Something seems very fishy to me. Thanks.

A lot of companies do not pay for headers/footers - anon

I pay for these but not all companies do. Download a free 30-day trial of Sylvain IV Gold Edition and use this, which does count headers/footers and a lot of other characters, such as bold as 2, underline as 2, etc.

I feel stupid to ask, but what exactly are - headers and footers? NM

Headers are what is usuall at the top of the report, such as - sm

patient name, MRN, etc. Footers I am not sure. I think it is what is at the bottom, but not sure what would go there other than the physician's signature.

Headers and footers are the things you don't see on your document, but the client sees on the backend. Headers at the top of report (date, patient name, etc.) Footers is what's on the bottom on the "other end," whatever that might be. Signature line, etc.

Not sure why, but the powers that be at the MTSOs tend to mix up the word header with heading. Heading is assessment, plan, history... So, they sit and tell you that you get paid for headers, when they mean you get paid for headings. We do not get paid for headers in most companies.

Headers/footers info - anon

Headers usually have the name, address, and phone number of the facility or physician on the first page and patient name and date on second page on. The footers usually have the patient info/demographics or just page number, although each account varies. I do think we should get paid for this to cover any document setup we have or make up for what we do not get paid for... and always pay mt MTs for this as well as charge client for it. I know most companies do not pay but charge the client for it mostly.... scandalous.

Be very careful. I was hired by this company and told they had a new account coming onboard. I started out on the clinic side and there were so many days with no work, but yet they complained if you were not on the system waiting during your required hours. Then I get a phone call out of the blue saying well we have good new and bad news. I was told my services were no longer needed on the clinic side due to low volume of work, but they new account they had was not going to start until A ...

decent living wage at this company? I've gone through the archives and saw comments on the platform but some posts said those issues were resolved.

I have been invited to test for them, but I wonder what kind of company they are. I have IE9 and they want an older version of IE for the test (yes, the dreaded MTTest), but I am just wanting to make sure if I test and get hired, it will all be worth it in the end. Are there any current CTI MTs here? I would appreciate any info! ...
