I'm so upset right now. I have consistently been able to make ALMOST full time status with only working 8 days a pay period (because my other 2 days there is simply no work). If I can make somewhere around 11000 lines I will lose over $100.00 in pay. That's $200.00 a month. That's BILLS. That's FOOD. I feel extremely taken advantage of right now and no I am not just whining about it. This is real life to some of us. I have a second job that doesn't pay well, but I do it anyway because I HAVE To. I don't complain for no reason, I LOVE being a transcriptionist, but this isn't right. It is simply NOT RIGHT. What happened to doing the right thing?
Wow... and to think I was recently considering applying. - Nope! Nuh-uh! No way Jose!

Very disgusting and treats you like mushrooms---keeps you in the dark and feeds you BS. Lies and scams is what you get when the small services get bigger.

Geez. What Little Things Make Me Feel Better. Sep 24, 2011I just heard a dictator say "thank you transcriptionist for your hard work. I know I am not easy to transcribe. Have a good day". I am SHOCKED! Haven't heard a thank-you like that in a long time! ...
Geez!! Some Of The Tests These MTSOs Give Out Sep 25, 2012are ridiculous!! I want so bad to tell them I am not a doctor! They expect me to know things that there is no way to know!! I just got another one of those tests. Very tempting to tell them what they can do with that test! They could pay me $100 an hour and I MIGHT try it! Wow!! Just wow! Was going to insert a mad smiley here, but they are not working. ...

Job Pays 30 Cents Per Audio Minute, Geez Jan 18, 2013So there is job posted that pays 30 cents an audio minute. How generous! You figure depending on the dictator and difficulty of transcript 60 minutes of audio is equal to 3 hours of transcribing. Granted, most of the time it does not take that long, but just in case for good measure we'll say 3 hours for 60 audio minutes. Do the math! 30 cents a minute x 60 (1 hr)= 1800. So another words, if you divide 1800 by 3 you get your hourly rate = 6 buck ...

Wmx - Another Thought On This Sep 02, 2010I think this was a very large account and they could have divided the MTs who had this as their primary and put them on various other accounts. Yes, this would have overstaffed those accounts and more MTs would be getting NJA as we all scrambled for what work there was. Also, this way WMX would not be putting out unemployement for anyone and soon most of us would not have benefits because we couldn't keep our line counts up with NJA all the time. All in all, looks like the ...

Just Thought I'd Ask.. Mar 28, 2011I'm just wondering what is with companies not calling you after you have passed a test and said they will? I don't understand it. Yes, I realize that they may have several people, but is it too much to ask for a phone call to do an interview or something? I am looking for a job and when I do pass tests and get excited that I actually did and no one contacts me like they said they would, it really bothers me. ...
I Thought I Was The Only One May 13, 2011I just realized that no one cares about the quality of medical records anymore. I have had to go to VR and I am now making anywhere between 4 and 12 dollars/hour. I guess people care more about the quality of their hamburgers than they do peoples' healthcare. I have started to just send them through. I don't even really listen to the work. I look at it and change any major spelling errors, but other than that, what the VR says is what they get. The fu ...
Just Had A Thought... Mar 17, 2012Could it be that the MModal and Nuance are buying all of these smaller, better MTSOs because they want to limit our employment options? If MModal (the Q) and Nuance are the monopolizing companies, and an MT who works for them just had all she/he could take, where could she/he go?
Just a thought....

Thought Everybody Would Like To See This May 01, 2012This phrase was added at the end of an advertisement for employment. Obviously it was in-house, but found it.... well.... rude, I guess. Although I understand their position and their experiences, to include something like this in an advertisement would certainly send me running elsewhere. Any opinions???

I Just Had A Thought!!! Nov 15, 2012What if we asked for stocks in the company as a benefit? I know Wal-Mart does this for their employees, because my SIL, who has worked for Wal-Mart for a long time, drew from her stock and traveled a distance and paid for a birthday party for her 3-year-old grandson and went shopping at our local mall and bought herself a wonderful new set of pots and pans (that new kind that is green and made out of ceramic) and just lived it up more than she could have done otherwise.

Just A Thought Here...but... Apr 11, 2013Have you all ever thought of letting your own doctor/s know that you will no longer have a physician who sends his or her work to a company to be done overseas and that you will now demand that your medical records be done in the US or you will seek medical attention elsewhere? Maybe start making a lot of noise on the doctor/hospital level?

An ASR Thought Oct 20, 2013I am making stupid, idiotic mistakes that I never made before. Yes I know I am older than when I started this mess of a job. But, I think with this ASR garbage, first being so wrong all the time, then trying to remember what keystrokes to use, blah blah it actually kind of puts you in a "trance." Its like you see but you don't see. Does that make sense or maybe I am just going insane? ...

Just A Thought. Mar 17, 2014As my husband pointed out (he sees how stressed I get) our local grocery store employs people with mental and physical disabiltiies as grocery baggers and they get paid more than I do with less hassle, better benefits and more time off. Not saying everyone should work in a grocery store but it is something to think about when you are getting grief for maybe being 1 point off on a BP supposedly putting a patient's life at risk or getting a major error for not including "include" w ...

Just A Thought Jan 18, 2015what will happen when the doctors start using templates and no longer have us to edit their reports. at some point they still have to dictate text, right. or will they be using templates for everything and just pulling information from the EHR. just curious how that is going to be with doctors completely being left on their own and accountable for their own records...
for example, take the worst dictator you have and try to imagine them seeing their reports without any of the editin ...

Wanna Know Who Thought Up VBC? Feb 16, 2010Something smacks of anti-trust here.
Excerpt:
It’s been a little more than two years since the AHIMA and the Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA) recommended the visual black character (VBC) method be used as the standard unit of measure for medical transcription. Based on research from the Joint Task Force on Standards Development, the announcement came in the form of a white paper that made quite a splash. Defining a VBC as a “character that can be seen with the nake ...

Wow! Just Thought Of How CBAY Jul 29, 2010
CBAY could get rid of a lot of board of directors.
Does CBAY have any idea how much money it could save them? In fact, why we are at it, get rid of the United States board of directors and bring in their own India board of directors. They could probably pay their suits half or even less than it would cost for United States board of directors.
Plus! Would not have to pay incentives, benefits, bonuses, gas for their cars, credit expenses for lunches and golfing, e ...
