Fast Chart and fees - mt

Posted: Feb 18, 2011

I applied to Fast Chart, tested and then was offered a position. So, I read their contract and got to the fees section. I knew they charged a 7.50 fee for not meeting your line requirement, but then there was going to be another fee after you had been there for 90 days. This fee is calculated using some kind of formula 40.00 - (A/B)*40....A is number of lines you actually transcribed and B is the Line requirement and then there is another formula to calculate edited lines. That is a lot of money! I believe I would rather not work than to work for a company where they take away your hard earned money. Of course, I declined the position but I have never heard of a company charging their contractors.

Boy, am I glad I didn't go there! What a bunch of garbage. - nm

And they were a bit fuzzy on whether fees would be charged - even if workload was low

and it was NOT your fault you couldn't meet the production quota.

Goodbye and no thanks, I said.

That's especially heinous, when they ultimately control - whether MTs get enough to make the required lines!

They cannot control if dr dictates or not. They cannot pull jobs - out of the air. nm

Nor can the MT make jobs appear if there are not any, hence there should be no penalty. nm - JMO

But what they do control is... - MT

the amount of MTs on a given account. They overhire and then there isn't enough work to go around, even on the busiest days.

But MTSOs have no problem pulling excuses for lack of work out of their of work - Pussyboot

EDITED. 'Bottom' line: They LIE.

One company to stay away from is Fast Chart, but they OVERHIRE BIG TIME, and you cannot make a living, always running out of work, they ask for shifts, but it's a free for all, and they even posted in their newsletter and congats to a VR editor or edited 53,000 lines in a pay period! Now, tell me how is that possible and maintain 98%, NOT. unless you are glued to the chair with a catheter, and also what about the other eidtors that needed the work!

I have worked for this company for 6 months, and I am about to quit. I was reading some posts about Fast Chart Transcription were people said they were getting 7 cents a line with them. I don't know when that was, but she started me at 3 cents a line. Not only that, no matter how carefully I reviewed over and over the reports I did, she nitpicked everything and said my QA score was too low, 92%. I looked at her corrections and it was things like when the doctor dicta ...

I'm an MT debating on taking classes to become certified for coding. I was curious as to what supplies you are furnished with and is it everything necessary to complete your studies and receive your certification, or do you also find you must purchase a lot of extraneous supplies? With budgeting on a shoestring, I'll be lucky to afford the classes and am hoping the fees are all-inclusive rather than having a lot of unbudgeted "surprises" once I (hopefully) get rolling. TIA to ...

Can anyone tell me what Chart Net is like to use as far as speech?

I'm wondering how many MTs out there have access to patient charts. As of now, I do and it's very helpful in looking up vitals, lab values, and doctors' names that the dictator invariably mumbles. The company I work for will soon remove that access to MTs, and I'm wondering if this is a new HIPAA requirement or if we are moving to a platform that simply does not support it. They are saying that it is because of HIPAA, but I think it's ridiculous to take ...
