What companies use DocQscribe or Bayscribe? I am open to employee position or IC, but I need a different company. Prefer straight transcription to VR. Many years experience. Thank you for any help. ...

I am new to VR and was wondering something.....How many of you actually go through and listen to the whole report and how many of you fix the errors you see, sign it off and go on? I am just looking at the high lines counts that you guys are getting per hour and am wondering if some of you are not listening to the whole report as that may take more time? I know that doesn't sound good, but just looking for honest answers here. Also, advice on how to get such high line counts wo ...

So I asked my HDSM a host of questions, which I put on here in a response to someone sometime yesterday, and it seems she's as in the dark as the rest of us are. Here's a synopsis of the answers to my quetstions, since obviously I can't include the email. Recognized and accredited program? Accreditation after training? CCS, CCS-P, RHIT, RHIA? Not sure about this. Available to SHDAs also? Available to any production employees. Guarant ...

To those with questions regarding working for Precyse I can answer you. Don't do it. We were just informed that we now MUST make at least 260 LPH (previously was 240) OR ELSE. That's for ASR. The straight typing minimum line rate has gone up also---and those are few and far between plus usually only the very worst reports come in as regular transcription. The sound quality is terrible. A lot of the jobs go to India. You only get credited f ...

I wonder which systems are the best to work on. I know the pay is lower, but I think after 20 years, I would love to save some wrist power.... ...

1. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter – A Greenfield filter is an example of an IVC filter as is a Christmas tree filter, and there are other kinds. They function as a sort of net to catch any emboli to prevent them from hitting the heart or lungs. 2. If a patient has cardiac/vascular disease, there is a good chance that another will crop up, so if you have CAD (coronary artery disease) you could certainly have PAD (peripheral vascular disease), but ...

When Dr. dictates a sentence in the middle of a paragraph that goes like this: Eyes normal vision. Cardiac no carotid bruits. Cardiac regular rate and rhthym. Ears normal hearing. Do you just add a colon after the first word? Sometimes that looks odd, so I am not always sure what to do. Any ideas/help appreciated, tia. ...

I am not sure if tihis is the right place to post this, but I used to ask questions there all the time. Now just recently I went on there and could not believe all the profanity and inappropriate subjects they let people post there. It is really awful and I am shocked to see some things that are passed up for censoring. People call each other jerks and bigoted racists all the time. I am wondering where are their moderators and why is no one doing anything to stop thi ...

I am not asking for charity or a pity party but when there is no work or insufficient work to make quotas I would appreciate the company being honest about what is happening. Don't tell me the docs are all on vacation or it's summertime and no one goes to the doctor in the summertime!!!!!! And if I ask a question I would appreciate an answer and not being ignored. Thank you. ...

How has the first few hours with Mercedes been? Should I request a contract with them? ...

I have been working as a transcriptionist from my home for almost 20 yrs. As most, I am losing my account due to EMR. I am considering pursuing other avenues such as coding or HIM. Is this a good idea. How is the job market for this. I am also a Certified Medical Assistant but have not worked in an office in over 20 yrs. Any ideas??? ...

would anyone care to give a synopsis of "the call"? I am interested in the content and the rhetoric you guys were treated to. What's this I hear about the "spot" award. Thanks in advance for anyone who could fill me in a little bit. ...

Very interesting article! ...

If you think you might be interested in coding or just want to get an idea of what it is and how it works, try the PDF at the link below. It is quite good! (It is free.) www.facs.org/ahp/codingmanual.pdf ...

Everytime I do a search, it comes back with a lot of responses that date back to a few years ago. I'm looking for newer responses and do not want to weed throught the old ones to find the new ones. How can I do this? Thank you in advance to anyone who answers. ...

Since I made my lines hours ago lol, and I'm messing around trying to let someone else make their lines, I've been roaming around, reading back posts. And I swear to you all I'm not trying to cause trouble, start drama or pick fights, I just have a very serious question. For the MTs who are "struggling" or not making it, etc and to all the MTs who are sure it's a "dying field" or it's "already dead". What keeps you in the MT field? I know jobs are real ...

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1441567/000119312512293940/d376248dex994.htm Wish I had an incentive working for this company. Oh, wait, I am on the bottom of the totem pole. ...

Knew it was going to be bad, but not this bad....and VBC, no headers or footers. ...

I decided to send them the contract e-mail back stating I would not be accepting and why - that with 20 years experience, I will quit the industry before going that low and that there are still other jobs out there willing to pay more (even if it is only for 6 months to a year that they told me it would last). I said if they get no takers and want to consider offering us more, please feel free to contact me. Hopefully, we all do the same. Good luck. ...

Have you signed with Mercedes? Even with the idea of being a temporary thing to do? Do you know how many signed with them? I am nosy and curious. ...

Apparently I am probably with one of the "sister" companies in this transition. Like you guys, I am trying to weigh out my options here. I'm reading the comments about the offer from Mercedes. Does anyone know if RecordsOne is offering pretty much the same offer? I feel like if the "sister" company keeps me onboard, to go on the other accounts they have, are they really able to "absorb" another MT. I feel like the relative you let sleep on the couch just beca ...

I'm beginning to think RecordsOne got the raw end of this deal. ...

I notice this company has some openings. Awhile back I had noticed some negative posts concerning the company and am wondering if anything has changed. ...

Hi there, I'm interested in applying at Keystrokes. Does anyone know what the current f/t requirement is? I see they are hiring only FT right now. Is this according to line count or a set schedule. Thanks for any info! ...

Can anyone tell me if there is an online course, school, how long it takes, or what I need to do to find out how much it costs etc, to train in medical billing or coding. I have been an MT for 20 years and need to find a new and/or additional career. Thank you so much for your help. ...

I am doing some research on medical coding. I have looked at Andrews Coding School and Career Step. Both seem to be close but Career Step states it takes much less time to finish, which I am guessing is to get you in to their school and not reality but that is only a guess. The cost is also a huge difference. Has anyone here gone through either school and would you recomend one over the other? Any advice is appreciated. ...

The petition was submitted early this year. This is the denial of TAA benefits and the reasons for denial. If you feel the situation has changed it can be appealed by any employee, soon to be ex-employee or former employee per DOL. “The investigation was initiated in response to a petition filed on March 7, 2013 by a state workforce official on behalf of workers of Nuance Transcription Services, a subsidiary of Nuance Communications, Inc., Burlington, Massachusetts (subjec ...

Anyone you know? ...

Hello. I looked through the archives but couldn't find the answers I was looking for. I read the post for Phoenix medcom. I am very interested in doing front office stuff while doing transcription. Does anyone do that? How does the pay work out? I would think it would supplement the transcription income. I just put in an app and was wondering what other people have experienced. Thank you! ...

I listened to the Mercedes town hall. What did you think? They did say VBC was coming. Does this sound like Bayscribe to you? They said VBC was coming, but rate of pay would not change. I wonder how that will work. They promised nothing would change as of October 1. I wonder what it will be like on January 1. ...
