It's a real shame that these big, bad monster MTSOs-

I got an email from Monster today that said what we are supposed to do is job hop, see? We stay with a company for about three years and then we go to another company where we can command a greater salary, see? If we stay where we are we'll have to keep settling for these measly 3% raises (I'm laughing as I type this, haven't had a raise in many years), oh no, if we job hop, at the next company we can expect to start out at a much higher level than what we are making right n ...

They acquire smaller companies and then treat the acquired ICs like dirt. ...

Does anyone feel this way about being an MT nowadays? I am in a cycling club with a doctor and a nurse, and I was very reluctant to let them know what I do for a living, mainly because of knowing how poor the quality of transcription has gotten with offshoring, etc. As a matter of fact, I would have kept quiet about it altogether, but my husband mentioned it at some point during a ride one day. I was mortified. It is terrible to not be proud of one's profession. &nb ...

It is horrible and scary to think of the future (or lack thereof) of medical transcription. All of the MTs I know, including myself have truly liked their job and tried to do the best we could no matter what. We have all bought books, made notes, go online for research, worked evenings, late nights, holidays and so forth, to accommodate the companies we work for and this is the thanks we get. Now I know the economy is in the dumper and jobs are scarce everywhere, BUT, we were t ...

They try to get you to certify as an MT, join our organization they say, some companies (although not many anymore) want you to be a CMT, yet as I went onto the website to look something up, Indian transcription companies are advertising on the Benchmark website? How is that supporting the American MTs and you want us to pay you money every year? Shame on you. You will never get any of my money or support. ...

The whole "is it worth it" thread is gone, but response posts still show and people can respond, but the whole thing is gone. Why not have a feature that locks that post from even accepting responses after it's been deleted? ...

I am so tired of receiving the frantic emails about TAT, I am tired of being on MOT, I am tired of attempts being made to make the MTs feel like it is THEIR fault the POD has the highest number of unedited jobs in the system. I am tired of groups being blamed for work going out of TAT when the problem is under staffing. We are human. We are limited in the amount of production we can crank out. If high volume is the case for a week or two, I can understand putting in a lit ...

I have been on QA for at least 2 months. The first month my TL went on vacation and when she did, I was still on full QA and all reports monitored. I have not received any QA good or bad during this time, but when I inquired about it yesterday, I was told of at least 9 things that I keep doing wrong, and I am not good enough to let out into the work pool. I asked for reports that I messed up and they only came up with one report that was not messed up,but a report in which I left blanks, w ...

This has been going on for too long, without explanation and without any end in sight. If one if fired for refusing to work beyond the hours they were hired to do, can they still collect unemployment? ...

If you were to get hired as an IC by somebody who runs their own MT business out of their home, what things should you look out for to make sure you are not falling for a scam- and just doing someone else's work for free? Do they need to know things like your SS #? Thanks for the help! ...

What gives with that ridiculous jargon in the training video? "Real-time doctor's list." Gimme a break. "Streamlining our job." Hooha. "Increasing our productivity." Come on now. We're not idiots, Q. If that doctor's list was real time, it would be instantaneous. I know that they meant that we would get to see a doctor's name as soon as it was updated on their end, but to call it real time is a misnomer. How are extra ke ...

...Is there anyone who makes good money doing editing, compared to straight transcription I mean? ...

I've had trouble logging in and uploading this morning. Anyone else? ...

I'm getting confused. I read a post by "sm," and she (?) comes across as even-tempered in style and conservative in viewpoint. I read another post by "sm," and she (?) comes across as angry and argumentative with a liberal viewpoint. Either "sm" has a split personality or there are 2 people using the same name. Can we clear this up so we know who we're actually speaking to? ...

pain foraminal valley? Really? After 5+ years? deep PAIN thrombosis? Paradoxical ambulance (embolus) Drives me absolutely nuts. Wasn't all of this stuff supposed to be LEARNED sometime in the last decade? DocQScribe 8 of whatever is their only concern????? ...

Does anyone know of any smaller, family-owned transcription agencies? I honestly don't think any of these companies who advertise are a placed you would want to call home. I have been in transcription for many years, have tested for many of these companies and never get a call back. So not sure what they are looking for, etc. I guess the smaller companies have been gobbled up by the bigger companies. ...

Every morning starts with a FIESA Email of some ridiculous mistake like: MEDICATIONS: (Oh my God, you left off "Include") 1. Blah 2. Blah 3. Half the medications are wrong, numbers are wrong, etc. Then if you contest it, they say you were endangering the patient. (Really, leaving off the word "includes" is endangering the patient?) ANYWAY, IF THEY WERE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PATIENT'S LIVES THEY WOULD NOT LEAVE IT IN THE HANDS OF A HORRID, INCAPABLE, PIECE OF ...

anyone else NJA this a.m.? ...

How of HIPAA compliance yields profitable partnerships? I guess a lot of emphases given to HIPAA compliance is truly justified, especially in the case of outsourcing. The thrust on confidentiality and security of patient records grows manifold when it's done across 7 seas. ...

After my company recently dropped my account by 1-1/2 cents, I have been considering either a job switch or maybe even an inhouse hospital position but the thought of it puts me in a panic. Has anyone else experienced that? I have been doing this job at home for 20 years and one of the reasons I love it is I don't have to deal with the politics of a work place or people in general. I was a vet tech before an MT so obviously I love animals and prefer being with m ...

treated rudely at my job (this close to quitting), but I do not even get a Happy MT week, thank you or anything!! Yes, this company is the WORST!!!! ...

reports that are forwarded. Most of them are apparently computer generated and very hard to read. I always wondered what reports looked like at the customer end --- not very good from what I can tell. I have looked to try and see if the reports are transcribed or some sort of Epic or Dragon speak program. I would hate to be the doctors trying to wade through this jumbled-up information and make any sense out of a patient's history. We have two local hospitals a ...

I see a lot of ads for Nuance lately and it seems like there are MTs saying there is no work for them. What is the real scoop? Just want to know if it would be worthwhile to apply to them or if I would be sitting around with no work. Not a big fan of big MTSO... but needing some work and willing to compromise if I must. Thanks in advance! ...

It's a real shame that these big, bad monster MTSOs- - just looking

Yes, Nuance offering 2000.00 bonus to sign on - fedup

Sign on bonus equals - Sign on BOGUS...

HA, they probably pay out in 100.00 increments over years! - anon
