For MDA editors who transferred to service that got account...

Ouir BOB lost another large account and now there are too many MTs. So, about 8-12 are being moved. The account that I transcribe is going to be almost 100% ASR, and the account is being transferred to the Canadian MTs. Apparently the poor Canadians don't have enough work. They do, however, get free health insurance. Now we not only have to worry about the Indians, but the Canadians too. I can guarantee they are being paid less. ...

My question is since I am starting a new account that I am not familar with will I get in trouble for getting MUP - make up pay. I never had make up pay before. To tell you the truth though I wish I would have been laid off instead. Anyways, TIA. ...

I've got some survival tips for you. Same for folks recently moved to a smallish surburban hospital near largish city in WA? Supe LG, one of three supes listed on new POC for AB COM. Got a whole list of tips for survival on that one too. I will post these again if anyone here is interested. ...

About 3 weeks ago I was transferred to a different region. Been with MM 9 years, with many different supervisors and BOBs, but always the same region. Was called by supervisor and told work load was low in her BOB and was "only going to get worse." ILPs taking over, probably I assume. She wanted to transfer me to make sure I had "plenty of work and stayed with MM." Not sure what that meant. I had never experienced NJA in that particular BOB. The accounts ...

I'm getting pretty sick of the condescending questions asked ("why didn't you do this" or "why did you do that") by my PC, who I was moved to during the POD initiation and would much rather go back to my old PC, who was awesome, even if I have to leave the accounts I have been typing on for years. This PC just makes me feel like an idiot. ...

I think its like 15 dollars a credit but some of the AHIMA classes you can obtain credit for through your college and they will accept them. I think its about 40 credits too. ...

I was transferred only about about a month ago (stolen according to my last TSM). This is a new account. Every single week it is something. I was moved to this group " because I had no production problems and no quality problems" according to my previous TSM. Thus far, I have failed 1 audit by 0.15 points, followed by passing an audit, and I have had, according to the email subject, targeted audits 3 out of 4 weeks. I got an email stating I had failed my targeted audit (1 error - date), and ...

The day we suddenly ran out of work in early February was when another MTSO got the account. For my fellow MTs who are suffering from no work from that account, you can go to TTS, who is still hiring for it. Line rate for employees .01 cent less than TT but they pay headers, which TT did not. You can make the same (.01 cent more if you decide to be an IC rather than employee). I hope this info can help some who need the work and no longer have it. Doubt IMEDX will ever g ...

This is my yearly ode to all of you during MT WEEK, and I want to again express my humble opinion. For just a few minutes, please put aside your depression and anger at your profession and just take a deep breath and listen to what I have to say. I am truly awed by what you all do. What other profession would you have to be a medical terminology specialist, pharmacology specialist, English language expert, AND a computer/software expert all in one? There is no other pr ...

What is the current pay range for editors? ...

How much do editors of regualr transcriptionists make. Not VR. The ones that check the MT's work? ...

Since VR, do companies still hire "editors" or QA to review/fix the reports done by MT on the VR? If so, what is salary like. Is it hourly/by line and production? How is the job itself? Any info appreciated. ...

Any comments on working as an editor for Ascend? I am an editor/AM now and possibly looking to change jobs soon. Thanks! ...

I've been an MT for many years but I am new to SR editing and I am feeling kind of incompetent. Today it took me 45 minutes to edit 1 note which was 57 lines long I've worked for 5 hours today so far and I have 500 lines. For any MTs out there who switched over to editing, how long did it take you to get up to speed with it and earning a decent hourly wage? For the experienced editors, about how many lines do you edit per hour? I do like the com ...

I'm back to editing after a few years away from it and can't believe how bad the software still is. The company I worked for 3 years ago used better software and the drafts were not that bad. Now I'm with a different company using not the best editing software. Not sure what the docs are using, but the VR really does a bad job, even with very good dictators. On words it doesn't understand it ignores them and then picks up when it understands it again. The errors it is makin ...

I started a new client for an MTSO recently. One ESL dictator's H&Ps are so out of order they require a ton of reformatting. This is the order he dictated: History of Present Illness, Past Medical History, Chief Complaint, Plan, PE, Review of Systems, Assessment/Plan. The template has to have formatting changed (bold headings and point size), the guy is very difficult to understand, does not use proper grammar and needs most sentences restructured. He slurs through the Review of Systems ...

I see a lot about MTs running out but how is the volume for QC? I am thinking of applying. Thanks. ...

Hi There! Just curious if there are any SoftScript editing staff out here. I seem to be struggling a lot with making any money since beginning there. I seem to be getting a lot of training review reports with a lot of blanks and/or acct spec errors, incorrect templates, etc. I also end up running out of work a lot and have to type. Not here for negativity just thought maybe someone has some suggestions of how I can increase my productivity from those who have been there longer and maybe tel ...

Anyone out there work as an editor for focus infomatics/nuance? Are you able to make decent money editing? Thanks for any info. ...

With over 2 decades experience I can't make over $8. per hour with very rare exceptions were I get great dictators, long reports without the need to research demographics or other data. Where am I going wrong? ...

So for those of us that are looking for jobs who have worked for Nuance doing straight transacription and will most likely need to accept positions with a large amount of VR editing, what is a realistic in terms of hourly VR lines that are edited? I am assuming that most companies have similar averages of what transcriptionists edit within an hour. ...

I tried for a month not to use the mouse and only use keyboard commands but it's soo awkward. I started experimenting with using the mouse again and my production went way up. Is it a short-term gain? Should I hide the mouse? LOL. ...

I have an account that is transitioning to voice recognition which will take a couple of phases to fully implement. For a few months, they are going to need editors to check over some of the reports. Could I get some input on what kind of rates editors are charging? I've heard of by line, by hour, and by dictated minute, but not sure of the amount of each. This would be hospital Radiology editing and I'm in the PA/MD region. ...

I just saw an ad for QA editor at Nuance. It looks like they pay by the line, is this is typo or do they actually pay QC by the line? ...
